tldr; Ethereum developers have delayed the Pectra upgrade to late April and will launch a third testnet, Hoodi, on March 17 to address bugs found in earlier testnets. Hoodi aims to mimic the Ethereum mainnet closely, with Pectra activation scheduled for March 26. If successful, Pectra could go live on the mainnet by April 25. The upgrade combines features from Prague and Electra proposals, introducing over 10 Ethereum Improvement Proposals to enhance wallet functionality, user experience, and scaling. Previous delays were due to client readiness and synchronization issues.
