Ethereum Pectra Upgrade Slated for April 2025, Fusaka To Follow
Ethereum developers have confirmed that the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade will be available on the Ethereum main network around April 8, 2025 after a successful TestNet deployment.
Additionally, discussions about the subsequent Fusaka upgrade and Glamsterdam continue, and how these shape the future of Ethereum.
Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade schedule and key enhancements
They established this timeline in All Core Developer Execution (ACDE) Call #205 held on February 13, 2025 and hosted by Tim Beiko, backed by the Ethereum Foundation (EF) protocol . Previous reports indicate Pectra may launch in March 2025.
However, the revised timeline shows the rigorous testing and coordination required for a smooth transition.
The upgrade will introduce significant improvements in validator engagement and network performance. However, before that, upgrade Will be tested on Holesky and Sepolia Testnetsthese plans are activated on February 24 and March 5 respectively.
These TestNet deployments are critical to ensuring stability before the mainnet implementation in April, which explains the delay. The study cites EF developer operations engineer Parisosh Jayanthi, showing that it is almost perfect validator participation.
“EF Developer Operations Engineer Parisosh Jayanthi shared an update on the status of Pectra Devnet 6. He confirmed that DEVNET is “doing well” and that validator participation rates are close to perfection,” excerpts from the report read.
This positive progress enhances the Upgraded capabilities to enhance network availability And pave the way for faster speeds Ethereum upgrade cycle.

Fusaka upgrades and future developments of Ethereum
After the termination of the jam, the discussion began on the scope of Ethereum’s next upgrade to Fusaka. Beco reportedly proposed that the range of Fusaka was frozen when Pectra went online, aiming to maintain a more predictable pace of upgrades.
However, Gus’ team opposed the proposal. They reportedly thought the timeline was too radical and suggested excluding Fusaka’s EOF (EVM Object Format) component.
Beiko recommends extending Fusaka’s scope definition finalization schedule to solve these problems. Extensions will give developers extra time to determine which one Ethereum Improvement Recommendations (EIPS) Should include.
Although the final decision was pending, many developers proposed changes to ensure that Fusaka can still be managed and impactful. Some developers holding this opinion include Justin Florence of Beth and Ben Adams of Nateminder.
