Pectra Upgrade and Verkle Trees
The execution layer and consensus layer clients will follow with releases in preparation for the Pectra upgrade. Ethereum developers are preparing for the Pectra upgrade to further improve the blockchain scalability, security, and usability. The aim is to work on minor changes such as improving the user experience (UX) of Ethereum wallets.
The team will simultaneously work on Verkle trees, which will enable Ethereum nodes to store large amounts of data. Regarding the developments Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said “Reducing to discrete log is a no-go because one of the underlying goals of looking at hash functions is quantum resistance. We want the ability to do this once and ossify the state tree from that point forward.”
