According to CoinDesk, the Ethereum Pectra upgrade went live on the new Hoodi testnet, and the upgrade to the new Hoodi testnet has been closely watched due to the failure of two previous tests on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets to complete successfully. Testing involves getting Hoodi through a series of code changes aimed at making Ethereum more user-friendly for both end users and developers. One of the changes is the addition of a smart contract feature to the wallet, allowing wallet software developers to build new convenience features, such as the ability to pay transaction fees in cryptocurrencies other than Ether (ETH). Ethereum developers previously agreed that if all goes well on Wednesday, Pectra will be monitored for about another 30 days before finally being launched on Ethereum mainnet.
