May 7, 2025, 10:05 UTC, Ethereum (ETH) completed its last great update, Pein activation. epoch 364,032, announced by Tim Baiko, one of the major collaborators in the ecosystem.
After Beiko’s notification, another Ethereum developer Mario Vega has been told that he has been evident in proof of all the features of Pein. Main Net (Main Network) has finished successfully».
Therefore, the arrival of this update could mean a turning point in Ethereum’s evolution, especially when the network appears to be fighting between its innovation and the low performance of the etheric of the native tokens.
The Cryptootics PIN I explained earlier is The fusion of the two initially planned updates: Prague and Electra focused on the execution layer, focused on the consensus layer. The set incorporates 11 suggestions for improvements to Ethereum (EIP) designed to improve user interaction, optimizing the validation factor experience up to the scalability of the second-tier solution (L2).
Most notably, EIPs 7702, 7251, 7549, and 7691, each addressing important aspects of the ecosystem.
EIP-7702: Smarter and more flexible accounts
EIP-7702 is an important step towards account abstraction. This is the concept of trying to provide user-controlled accounts (EOAs) in intelligent contracts.
With this suggestion, users You can sign authorizations that allow your account to perform advanced operationssuch as grouping several transactions into one, implementing alternative authentication, or delegating payments to third parties to pay gas fees.
According to Explorer Etherscan, the initial approval 7702 is already in progress. Users and developers are beginning to take advantage of these features Without moving assets to a new type of account to carry out more efficient and secure transactions. This change promises to simplify your experience especially in distributed applications (DAPPS).
EIP-7251: Validator Flexibility
EIP-7251 converts the way validators join the network as follows: Increase maximum effective balance of 32 ETH with 2048 ETH. Previously, validators could only earn rewards on a fixed balance of 32 ETH, which forced people to bet more than one to create multiple voters.
Now the validator can select a new type of retirement credential (0x02) and earn up to 2,048 ETH rewards and allow it to automatically resend. This change not only facilitates management of large operators, but also reduces the total amount of validators and reduces network load.
However, this improvement is possible Focus your power on validators with more etheraffects the decentralization of Ethereum. The minimum remains at 32 ETH (approximately $60,000), so costs continue to rise. This balance of efficiency and decentralization becomes important after sin and affects governance and long-term security.
EIP-7549: Optimizing Consensus
EIP-7549 will be improved Consensus Process Efficiency Moving the committee index will result in the index of the proof signed on the external field. At Ethereum, the baritters are organized on committees and vote on the effectiveness of the block. Previously, certification companies included this index, generating unique signatures for each committee, complicating vote aggregation.
In this field outsourcing, the same proofs from different committees produce the same company. Reduce the number of companies you need epoch (Estimates say it is between 1366 and about 22 years old). This optimizes consensus customer performance and enhances network resilience, particularly in high load scenarios.
EIP-7691: Increases L2 space
EIP-7691 increases Ethereum data capacity by increasing the average number Blob Blocks 3-6, with a maximum of 9.
loss Blobwhat was introduced in Dencun Update (March 2024) is a temporary structure (excluded after 4096 epochabout 18 days) L2 uses to efficiently register transactions.
EIP-7691 along with EIP-7623 (also included in PINA and adjusts the data costs involved in transactions to execute smart contracts). Reduce L2 rates and improve scalability Without significantly overloading the nodes.
A more efficient future?
The first approved EIP-7702 handled by Etherscan suggests that developers and users have already adopted these improvements. Especially within the scope of programmable accounts.
So, if Pain implementations are performed in a good way and the community is adopting those improvements, Ethereum can once receive the push necessary to balance the balance between ether development and performance.
