After some delays in its implementation, Ethereum’s Visual Acuity Update (ETH) was finally launched on May 7, 2025 on the main network, reported by Tim Baiko, one of the ecosystem’s leading developers.
This series of improvements has created expectations for proposals that users and developers can contribute. Improved scalability, efficiency and even staking Esreum.
However, the path to Pin was not exempt from complications. For example, Cryptootics reported it One of these obstacles is Test Net (Test Network) Holesky implies that transactions are not integrated as immutable and irreversible on the network, as the update failed to achieve its intended purpose on the first day.
Two propositions that stand out, according to the Ethereum community
Of the 11 suggestions for improvements to Ethereum (EIP), including sickening to the roadmap for this update, two of them have attracted the attention of Ethereum users and developers, EIP-7702 and EIP-7251 in particular.
In that part, EIP-7702 was explained by Jason Chasskin, a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation. “The biggest improvement in user experience in Ethereum history”currently undergoing an exclusive interview with Cryptootics. This proposal promises to optimize the interaction between external accounts (EOAs) and smart contract accounts.
It also shows that not only facilitates the development of more advanced wallets, but also that compatibility between different types of accounts simplifies network operations.
Tim Baiko also highlighted the relevance of this EIP, highlighting the possibility of making the network more accessible and efficient for users.
EIP-7251: Changes in staking
The second proposal that generates interest is EIP-7251, which will make a major difference in the Ethereum staking mechanism.
Currently, validators can wager up to 32 ethers. In Paltra, this limit is extended to 2,048 ETH per valter. By allowing larger bets, we expect the total number of active validators to be reduced. Networking is more efficient By reducing the amount of communication and confirmation between nodes. This can translate faster transactions and rate drops, especially during busy times.
However, there are also controversial aspects to this improvement. Reduced number of validators You can concentrate power on people stationed with etherwhich can have a negative impact on network decentralization.
At the same time, by maintaining a minimum of 32 ETH, the smallest individual triggerers can continue to participate without rising barriers, but at this time of Article 32, it is worth nearly $60,000, and is prohibited for many users.
This dilemma between efficiency and decentralization becomes one of the points that should be observed after the launch of PINs. This is because it can affect Ethhereum’s governance and security dynamics in the long run.
When used by Pein a few days after implementation, it is eye-opening how these improvements affect network performance and ether prices, awaiting the catalysts that imposed it in the context that its advantage has recently reached. Its lowest historical point.
