Ethereum developers launched a new test network on Monday, Hoodi, which will be used to perform the next blockchain upgrade.
Pectra will be broadcast on Hoodi on March 26, and if everything is going well, the long -awaited upgrade will go to the Mainnet d’Etheruem about 30 days later, according to the main developers of the network.
Hoodi was created as a result of defective Pectra tests on the other Ethereum tests, Holesky and Sepolia, who have not finished correctly due to problems with the way they were configured.
Test networks like Holesky, Sepolia and Hoodi are aimed at imitating the main Ethereum network – allowing developers to test code modifications or major upgrades like Pectra in a low challenges environment before deploying them on Mainnet.
Originally, Pectra upgrade would have been activated on Ethereum after these two previous tests. Because they did not go well, the developers decided to build Hoodi to test the ambitious pectra upgrade once again, although the testnet can also be used for future tests.
Hoodi is designed to imitate Maint d’Ethereum, with the same number of validators on its network. The developer of Core Ethereum, Parithosh Jayanthi, argued that the developers of Ethereum Core last week call that Hoodi would therefore be the testnet for Ethereum display pools and node operators to test their infrastructure.
Holesky and Sepolia were built for different purposes: Holesky has a group of validators larger than the main network of Ethereum, which is supposed to help test scalability problems, while Sepolia is a closed network just for developers, intended to test the applications.
Pectra contains a series of upgrades designed to make Ethereum more user -friendly and more efficient for developers and end users. One of the biggest changes includes the addition of “intelligent contract” capacities that could give portfolios new features, such as the possibility of paying gas fees in cryptocurrencies other than Ether (ETH).
