9/ pectra is ethereum remembering what it’s for. not just for resilience. not just for scale. for users. for the world. if you want to learn more, here is another thread: https://x.com/binji_x/status/1874422557992263720?s=46

7/ unlocking $490B of potential ethereum already secures $490 billion in assets. but too often, that value sits locked behind clunky UX. pectra changes that. it makes those assets easier to move, use, and experience.

8/ upgrading a decentralized network that secures billions is like swapping an airplane engine mid-flight. it takes hundreds of devs and years of work with dozens of teams working as one. pectra is proof that ethereum moves and it moves together. and this time, it moves for you.

6/ eth staking: upgraded. staking becomes more flexible and efficient: - raise validator cap from 32 to 2048 ETH - faster deposit recognition - smart contract-enabled withdrawals less overhead, more control for validators and stakers

5/ cheaper txs pectra upgrades ethereum’s ability to handle data. more blobs. better scaling for L2s. lower costs especially during high traffic. pectra doesn’t just make ethereum bigger. it makes it smoother, smarter, and mainstream-ready.

4/ smarter wallets wallets used to just hold keys. now, they get a brain. pectra lets normal wallets act like smart contracts. you can batch transactions, skip approval popups, pay gas in any token. less friction. more freedom. more possibilities.

3/ fewer clicks, more doing no more "approve + confirm" loops. no more double signing for every action. pectra reduces how many clicks it takes to do what you want.

16/ I’m also confident DeFi will eventually become the backbone of the global financial system (at which point we’ll just call it finance) but only on a platform that prioritizes neutrality, liveness, and censorship resistance

15/ I’m excited to see what happens in the years to come. My suspicion is that a new generation of financial engineers who are unburdened by what has been will create novel products

14/ The paper also discusses other chains. It considers, then argues against, permissioned networks. But it mostly focuses on Ethereum because that’s where most DeFi happens, and the chain offers more of the decentralized and security needed to make the above possible

13/ A platform like Ethereum doesn’t just make finance faster, cheaper, and safer. It also makes it more innovative. There’s a long history of new infrastructure leading to financial innovation, like when the telegraph enabled wire transfers

12/ Put together, all these features create exciting new possibilities for financial engineers, asset issuers, and users. We’ve already seen novel products that can only exist on a public blockchain, like flash loans, but we’ve likely barely scratched the surface

11/ Where intermediation is still preferred–like to pool capital for lending and trading–smart contracts play the role of banks and brokers. This means the best of both worlds

10/ Which brings us to disintermediation. We should note that intermediaries aren’t always bad. It’s only an overreliance on them that is problematic. Crypto networks offer both options, but the default is peer-to-peer finance
