According to BlockBeats, on October 15, Celestia announced via social media that its data availability (DA) network is set to undergo its first upgrade, named Shwap. This upgrade has already been activated on the Arabica and Mocha testnets through celestia-node v0.18.2. Shwap significantly increases DA sampling speed by 12 times and reduces storage requirements by 16.5 times, enabling support for larger blocks and smaller nodes.
Shwap enhances data availability (DA) throughput while maintaining low requirements for light nodes. The high throughput of DA not only accelerates existing crypto applications but also supports new applications using any virtual machine (VM). The reduced node requirements allow anyone to run light nodes in browsers or wallets, facilitating truly verifiable network applications. Following further testing, Shwap is expected to enter the mainnet Beta phase in November.#Celestia #Shwap #DataAvailability #CryptoUpgrade #Blockchain #LightNodes #Throughput #Mainnet #Testnets #VirtualMachine

Ethereum developers are preparing to roll out the much-anticipated Pectra upgrade on the mainnet in March 2025, according to TechFlow. Ahead of the mainnet deployment, testnets Sepolia and Holesky will undergo hard fork upgrades in February.The Pectra upgrade aims to enhance user experience and network efficiency through several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Key highlights include:Account Abstraction: Simplifying crypto wallet functionality.Increased Validator Staking Limits: Raising the cap from 32 ETH to 2,048 ETH.Enhanced Deposit and Withdrawal Mechanisms: Streamlining processes for network participants.If the testnet upgrades proceed without issues, the mainnet deployment in March will mark another milestone in Ethereum's evolution, offering significant improvements for developers, stakers, and users alike.#Ethereum #PectraUpgrade #Mainnet #Testnets #EIPs #AccountAbstraction #ValidatorStaking #CryptoWallet #NetworkEfficiency #Blockchain #TechFlow #ETH
