It is not known whether this criticism has prompted Ethereum to act, but the changes are coming faster than ever. The developers have decided to implement a major Pectra update in the first half of 2025.
Pectra – one of the biggest Ethereum updates; is a breakthrough moment for Ethereum users. As part of this implementation, 20 new Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) will be introduced, which will improve the network's performance.

One of the key elements of Pectra is doubling the number of "blobs" for data availability from three to six. This change will significantly improve the scalability and efficiency of transactions. In addition, the modernization will bring improvements to crypto wallets, which will increase the user experience.

Pectra will hit the testnet next week, and will appear on the Ethereum mainnet in April. This means that users can expect greater stability and improved functionality.
What's next? Another update is already in the works

Ethereum is not stopping at Pectra. After this update, it will be time for Fusaka - another important change that will focus on optimizing transaction processing. Developers had until March 13 to submit proposals for Fusak, and its final version will be approved on April 10. While the details of this update are not yet fully known, one thing is clear - Ethereum intends to be faster and more efficient.
