What is Pectra?

Pectra is the umbrella name for a set of execution- and consensus-layer upgrades (Prague × Electra) that shipped to Ethereum mainnet in May 2025. It adds programmable-wallet capabilities for EOAs (via EIP-7702), increases blob capacity for rollups, improves validator ergonomics, and lays groundwork for future scaling.

Key improvements

Below is a high-level summary. For the authoritative list and language, see the official EIPs and Ethereum.org pages.

EIP-7702 • EOA account code

Opt-in programmable wallets: EOAs can temporarily delegate execution to smart-contract logic for features like batched actions and sponsored gas.

UX / AA

EIP-7251 • Max effective balance

Validator effective balance cap raised up to 2,048 ETH with rewards accruing per-ETH over 32 ETH. Reduces validator count overhead.

Staking

EIP-7691 • More blobs per block

Target increases from 3 → 6 (max 9), expanding L2 data bandwidth as a bridge toward PeerDAS.

Scaling

EIP-7623 • Calldata pricing

Bounds worst-case block sizes by making heavy calldata more expensive, nudging L2s to blobs.

P2P health

EIP-7002 • EL-triggerable exits

Lets withdrawal-credential holders trigger validator exits via an execution-layer contract—simpler and safer for many staking setups.

Staking ops

EIP-6110 • Deposits on-chain

Cleaner, instant delivery of validator deposits from EL→CL; reduces technical debt from pre-Merge days.

Protocol hygiene

EIP-2537 • BLS12-381 precompile

Native, efficient BLS operations for apps that reason about validators, light clients, bridges, and ZK systems.

Crypto

EIP-2935 • Historical blockhashes

System contract serves 8,192 recent block hashes for stateless execution & better rollup access.

DevX

EIP-7549 • Attestation size

Moves committee index outside the signed part, enabling easier aggregation and ZK proving of consensus votes.

Consensus perf

EIP-7840 • Blob schedule in configs

Explicit blob scheduling fields in EL client configs to reduce Engine API coordination complexity.

Client ergonomics

Tokenomics

A clean, fair launch design that keeps trading friction low and ownership decentralized.

Token Symbol

$PECTRA

Tax Rate

No buy/sell tax

LP Status

Burned & Renounced

Liquidity locked away

Build with Pectra features

Design smart, user-friendly flows leveraging EIP-7702 and improved data bandwidth.

• Add gas-sponsored and batched actions via 7702-style delegated execution.

• Use blobs for L2 data—cheaper than calldata, with higher targets post-Pectra.

• Explore BLS precompile for validator-aware apps and ZK light clients.

FAQ

Gas & fees

Pectra doesn’t directly reduce L1 base gas. It expands L2 data capacity (more blobs) and smooths fees, so end-user costs typically fall on rollups as they take advantage of the extra bandwidth.

Are L2s cheaper after Pectra?

Generally yes when demand rises, because more blob room increases data throughput for rollups. Exact fees still depend on usage and each L2’s economics.

Where do I verify the CA?

Always verify the contract address on a block explorer before trading. Use the copy button above, then open Etherscan.

What is EIP-7702?

A Pectra change that lets an EOA temporarily delegate execution to contract code. It enables smart-wallet perks like batched actions, session keys, and sponsored gas — without changing your address.
