Pectra is here.

Ethereum’s glow-up isn’t just cosmetic, it’s foundational.

What does this mean for SynFutures users?

Let’s break it down 👇

🙌No.1 Perp Dex on Base by trading volume

Pectra = Prague + Electra

It’s a combined upgrade to the execution & consensus layers.

📦 11 EIPs
🎯 Major user-facing updates

Let’s dive into 3 major Pectra upgrades:

- EOAs become smart accounts
- Institutional staking grows
- Cheaper L2 fees with more blobs

1. EOAs Become Smart Accounts

Your crypto wallet is an EOA. Until now, it could only approve transactions.

With Pectra, EOAs get superpowers.
✅ Batch transactions
✅ Pay gas in any token
✅ Wallet recovery
✅ Delegation
✅ Smart validation

Pectra also merges "approve + confirm" into one transaction. Finally.

For SynFutures users, this means:

No need to hold ETH for gas

Set up recovery in case of lost keys

Ditch the “approve + confirm” loop

Just one signature to confirm everything.

2. Institutional Staking at Scale

Validators can now stake up to 2048 ETH (previously just 32).

📈 64x increase
💰 Extra rewards for every single ETH above 32 ETH

This opens the door for ETH ETFs & institutional staking, without increasing network validators.

Why should SynFutures users care?

More blobs =
🔸 Lower L2 fees
🔸 Cheaper trading on Base

SynFutures users will see smoother trades & cheaper costs.

But we’re not stopping there.

Base is also rolling out Flashblocks, reducing block time from 2s to 200ms.

That’s 10x faster trading on SynFutures.

We’re testing this on testnet and plan to go live as soon as it’s ready for mainnet.

The future of trading on Ethereum and L2s isn’t just secure. It’s fast, cheap, and smart.

Pectra brings Ethereum closer to being the best global finance layer.

SynFutures is building right on top of it.

3. More Blobs Per Block = Cheaper L2s

Blobs were introduced in the Dencun upgrade to make data storage cheaper.

Pectra increases max blob per block from 6 to 9

It also makes calldata more expensive, thus promoting more blob usage.
