The Ethereum Pectra mainnet upgrade, initially set for April 2025, is postponed to allow for comprehensive testing on the Hoodi testnet. This decision arose from concerns for stability and was confirmed during the ACDC Call #153 on March 20.

Testing on Hoodi will start on March 26, 2025, crucial for establishing a new launch timeline. The success of this testing is integral to moving forward, particularly before the scheduled History Expiry process on May 1, 2025.
