The last dress rehearsal of the next level of Ethereum de Pectra took place on Wednesday, because the biggest changes in the blockchain in a year were tested for an additional time after a series of misadventures.
The upgrade on the new Hoodi Testnet has been closely monitored since two previous tests, on the Holesky and Sepolia test networks, have not finished correctly.
After these tests, the developers created a new Testnet, Hoodi, to give ecosystem players, in particular ignition suppliers, another test opportunity before Pectra upgrade reaches Ethereum.
The test involved passing Hoodi a series of code changes intended to make Ethereum more user -friendly for end users and developers. One of these modifications adds intelligent contract features to portfolios, allowing portfolio software developers to create new features focused on convenience, such as the possibility of paying transaction costs in cryptocurrencies other than ether (ETH).
Testnets acts as copies of a main blockchain and are used by developers to execute any major code change in a low challenges environment, giving them a place to repair the bugs before reaching the Mainnet.
Hoodi was the last of the three networks to travel a pectra simulation. The developers had previously agreed that if everything was going well on Wednesday, Pecctra would be monitored for about 30 days more, then, finally, activated on the main of Ethereum.
