Ethereum’s long-awaited Pectra upgrade took a major step forward early Wednesday with its successful deployment on the Sepolia test network. The biggest upgrade to Ethereum since 2024, Pectra consists of 11 major features, or “Ethereum improvement proposals” (EIPs), that will be shipped all at once. Together, the features aim to enhance staking, wallet functionality, and overall network efficiency.

A misconfiguration among validators resulted in a chain split, rendering Holesky temporarily unusable. Testnets mimic a main blockchain and are used by developers…
U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Monday that a 25% tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada would take effect on Tuesday, heightening concerns of a North American trade war and rattling financial markets.
