Pectra update is successfully corrected by developers in the Sepolia test network

Today, the long -awaited Pectra update was launched on the Sepolia test network. However, the developers were faced with an unexpected problem. Due to the unknown error, the transaction was not included in the blocks. The network worked with interruptions of almost 5 hours. However, ultimately the issue was resolved.

The error arose due to the features of the deposit contract on Sepolia. He sends data on the transfer and replenishment of more than one message. Some clients experienced difficulties in processing information. The developers identified the source of the problem and took measures to eliminate the problem.

Ethereum Foundation specialist Tim Beiko announced the problem. He noted that some customers did not include transactions to blocks. 6 hours after detecting the error, the team came up with a correction. According to Etherscan, the network resumed transactions processing less than 2 hours before the publication of the news.

Such malfunctions have already occurred earlier. So, on February 24, a chain separation due to the wrong configuration of the validators occurred on the test network of Holesky. This led to a stop of the work of some functions. Developers expect to complete the correction within 2 weeks.

The main one Ethereum network He will receive an update after successful testing at 2 verification sites. The launch was planned at the beginning of April. Perhaps the deadlines will change to exclude repetition of errors. Developers strive for stable operation of the network.

Pectra update is improved for the scalability of security and the convenience of the network. The creators of the upgrade made changes to the abstraction of accounts through the EIP-7702. Also increased the limit of validators from 32 to 2048 ETH, according to the EIP-7251. Finally, the maximum number of “blobs” was increased to increase the scalability of rolls through the EIP-7691.
