🟪The Ethereum team has announced the Pectra update, scheduled for release in March 2025. The primary goal of this upgrade is to introduce account abstraction technology, simplifying wallet functionality. The changes will enable standard accounts to execute smart contracts, bundle transactions, and pay gas fees with third-party tokens like USDC.
🟪A key feature of the update is EIP-7702, which will allow wallets to act as smart contracts and sponsor transaction costs. This innovation will open up new opportunities for DeFi and significantly enhance the user experience of cryptocurrency transactions.
