Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade also does not fully resolve its fundamental scaling challenges, highlighting the urgency for enhanced scalability and stability. The key optimizations introduced — account abstraction and enhanced validator operations — seek to refine Ethereum’s efficiency and user experience but do not significantly increase transaction throughput or reduce network latency.
Ethereum risks falling behind without specialized hardware, weakening its position as a settlement layer for the blockchain community. Investing in hardware-native solutions will allow Ethereum to scale effectively while upholding its commitment to decentralization and supporting a growing user base.
