PoS alone means centralization which ether moved to some years ago from PoW. But what they said few years ago has been done as they have increased the validators staking from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. That is 64 fold increase and it means less people will be able to stake and more centralization in what that is centralized in design.

I read online that the Pectra upgrade will reduce transaction fee. I am not using ether which will not let me know if the transaction fee has reduced or not. Is it true that tye transaction fee has been reduced?
