Ethereum's Pectra upgrade is set to go live on the mainnet on April 30, following the successful finalization of the Hoodi testnet. During the All Core Developers Execution (ACDE) call #208 on March 27, Tim Beiko of the Ethereum Foundation confirmed the tentative activation at slot 11,599,872, around 14:14:47 UTC. The upgrade merges improvements from the Prague and Electra proposals to enhance user interactions and developer workflows.

The decision to proceed with the April launch comes after the earlier delays on testnets like Holesky and Sepolia. The successful finalization of Pectra on the Hoodi testnet has paved the way for the mainnet launch. The upgrade coordination will follow a structured process modeled after Fredrik’s fork coordination method, and the timeline is subject to final approval during the next ACDC meeting.

The Pectra upgrade aims to deliver a more streamlined and efficient Ethereum experience, optimizing user interactions and developer workflows across the network. This significant development comes after persistent issues and delays on previous testnets like Holesky and Sepolia, with Hoodi proving to be a reliable replacement for the problematic Holesky. As a result, the Ethereum Foundation has confirmed that support for Holesky will end by September 2025.
