Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade has now been scheduled to go live on the mainnet on May 7, 2025. The announcement was made during a call held by the blockchain’s core developers on April 3. Pectra is one of Ethereum’s most significant upgrades since the network’s transition to a proof-of-stake consensus mechanism in 2022. It merges the Prague execution layer with the Electra consensus layer and includes 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at improving the blockchain’s scalability, efficiency, and usability. Originally planned for March 2025, the changes were postponed due to challenges encountered during testnet implementation. Specifically, the Holesky testnet experienced finality issues, preventing developers from proceeding with the original timeline. Additionally, a minor bug was discovered on the Sepolia testnet in early March, which was identified and resolved before further testing. Developers then launched the Hoodi testnet, successfully running the enhancements without major incidents. This phase led to the confirmation of the May 7, 2025, mainnet deployment date. “We’ll go ahead and lock in May 7 for Pectra on mainnet,” said Ethereum Foundation researcher Alex Stokes during yesterday’s core developers’ call . “Happy Pectra everyone.” Despite recent developments, Ethereum’s market performance has remained weak, with its native ETH token posting its worst first-quarter performance in 7 years. A recent report from CryptoQuant showed that the ecosystem continues to struggle due to low activity, declining transaction fees, and a reduced ETH burn rate, all of which have contributed to increased inflationary pressure on the network. Pectra contains several improvements aimed at making Ethereum more user-friendly and efficient. Key features in the new version include smart contract functionality for wallets, enhanced staking capabilities, account abstraction, privilege management, and the ability to sponsor transaction fees. Account abstraction will allow Externally Owned Accounts (EOAs) to function similarly to smart contract wallets, introducing advanced features such as transaction batching, fee sponsorship, and custom security rules. These improvements are expected to enhance Ethereum’s flexibility, making decentralized applications (dApps) more accessible to users. Petra also increases the validator staking limit from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH. This change supports larger validators and allows smaller ones to receive compounding rewards. Another addition is Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), which reduces costs for layer-2 solutions by allowing nodes to verify large data availability without downloading all of it. The upgrade also includes the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Object Format, which enhances EVM code to support future functionality on both layer-1 and layer-2 networks.

Despite Mantle announcing major ecosystem updates, the MNT token remains in a bearish trend—though it has established a new, major support level managed to hold it for the past few weeks. On March 2, Mantle ( MNT ) released a letter to MNT token holders, outlining the project’s plans for Q2 of this year. The key highlights include upcoming launch of Mantle Banking, a unified fiat-crypto neobank, and Mantle Index Four (MI4), a tokenized, institutional-grade crypto fund. Mantle just released their Q2 letter to token holders, revealing some of their biggest moves yet. From a tokenized index fund with an initial commitment $400M to crypto-native banking, and upcoming strategies — there's a lot to unwrap. Here’s your no-fluff overview 👇 pic.twitter.com/UnhTArywjd Additionally, the letter outlined key achievements as the project moves into Q2. Notably, Mantle has integrated EigenDA on mainnet to enhance data availability, attracted over 27K cmETH in its fixed yield vault, and secured Mantle Network ’s modular architecture with 162.9K mETH. FBTC surpassed $1.2 billion in total value locked and expanded across multiple EVM chains. The project has also made strides toward becoming the largest ZK rollup offering institutional-grade security, with OP-Succinct development now live on testnet. Despite these developments , MNT has been in a clear downtrend since Feb. 3, when the price started to consistently make lower lows and lower highs. Around that time, the price also started trading below both the 20-day Exponential Moving Average and 50-day Simple Moving Average. However, it broke above the 20-day EMA for about two weeks in March, while still trading below 50-day SMA. On March 30, MNT dropped back below the 20-day EMA ($0.79) where it continues to hover, currently trading at $0.74. The Relative Strength Index is at 38.60, trending downward but not yet in oversold territory, meaning there’s room for more downside. The MACD indicator remains bearish, with both the MACD line and the signal line below zero. Overall, the bearish pressure dominates for now. On the bright side, the price has been holding a major horizontal support zone at around $0.72 since mid-March. The first major resistance is at $0.80, aligning with the 20-day EMA. A stronger resistance level is at $1.00, where the price consolidated in February before resuming the downtrend. A move above $0.80 would be the first sign of potential recovery, but for a chance of trend reversal, MNT would need to break above $1.00 with strong volume and hold.

The blockchain platform also invests in BlackRock’s and Franklin Templeton’s tokenized funds.
