Event description

  • Swell Network schedules a second Pectra upgrade for Swellchain on April 18, 2025, following the initial March 7 upgrade, aligning with Ethereum’s Pectra rollout to enhance staking and account abstraction via EIP-7702, which lets traditional wallets execute smart contract code temporarily.
  • The upgrade uses the OP Stack, a framework for Optimistic Rollups, ensuring seamless integration with Ethereum’s scaling solutions, though its tight coupling with rollup configurations can pose challenges for broader adoption.
  • Ethereum’s Pectra, already live on Holesky testnet in February 2025 and set for mainnet on May 7, aims to improve blob storage and inter-layer communication, critical for scaling rollups, with Swellchain’s updates ensuring compatibility.
