Pectra Hardfork Set For May 7th
Ethereum core developers have set a high confidence date for Pectra hardfork to go live on Ethereum mainnet for Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at 10:05 UTC. Client teams will release updated client versions by April 21st. Pectra will bring 11 EIPs to Ethereum, including Account Abstraction EIP-7702, max effective balance EIP-7251, execution layer-triggerable withdrawals EIP-7002, and a 50% blob capacity increase.
Ethereum ACD Restructuring Proposal
Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko proposed a restructuring of the AllCoreDevs (ACD) call format to improve coordination, planning, and stakeholder involvement across Ethereum’s development process. The proposal introduces two distinct call types: ACD{E|C} calls, which would focus on planning and scoping future forks, and ACD Testing calls, which would handle the implementation of the current fork. The separation is intended to support both short-term and long-term roadmap planning while maintaining Ethereum’s core governance values. Beiko also suggests that each network upgrade should have a clearly defined “headline feature” to guide priorities and resource allocation. A review and feedback period will take place leading up to the Pectra mainnet launch, after which core developers and client teams will decide whether to adopt the new structure beginning with the Glamsterdam fork.
Morpho Labs Introduces Prime
Morpho Labs introduced Morpho Prime, a new product suite designed for vault curators and advanced users. Morpho Prime provides tools to help curators efficiently manage and operate vaults. It features the Curator App for managing Morpho Vaults across multiple chains, and the Rewards App for creating custom reward programs. The Rewards App also allows recipients to discover and track available reward opportunities. Both applications are no-code solutions, lowering the barrier to entry for curators and reward program managers. Morpho is a core infrastructure layer for lending applications in DeFi and holds over $2.7 billion in deposits.
