The second 'Pectra' test on the ETH network has vulnerabilities, and the Mainnet release may face latency. ETH developers tested the Pectra upgrade on the Sepolia test network, which initially seemed successful. However, a few hours later, errors began to occur in the Sepolia network, resulting in empty Blocks being added to the on-chain. The ETH Foundation attributed the issue to 'incorrect configuration of the permission deposit contract' in Sepolia, which prevented many execution layer clients from including transactions in the Block. The Foundation stated that the developers 'identified the root cause within minutes' and deployed a fix to restore normal network functionality. This is the second time the Pectra upgrade has encountered issues in testing. Previously, testing on the Holesky test network also failed due to validator configuration errors. Christine Kim, Vice President of Research at Galaxy Digital, stated, 'The issues on the Holesky and Sepolia test networks do warrant a delay in the activation of the Pectra Mainnet.' She pointed out that, although developers may be ready, the broader ETH ecosystem (including major Smart Contract applications and Wallet providers) still needs time to adapt. Kim suggested that ETH developers should 'take the time to build additional testing infrastructure' before releasing the upgrade. ETH core developers plan to hold a meeting on March 7th to determine the official release date of Pectra.
