The Spectra upgrade went live on the Ethereum mainnet on May 7, 2025. The upgrade, which combines the Prague and Electra updates, introduces 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at improving scalability, security, and user experience.

Spectra focuses on improving validator performance, layer 2 scalability, and wallet capabilities. Key changes include increasing validator capacity to 2048 Ethereum (ETH) and reducing staking latency.

The upgrade also adds new wallet capabilities that enable batch transactions and support for transaction fees. Developers and users are expected to fully benefit from this upgrade over time.
