Ethereum core developers have confirmed that the highly anticipated Pectra upgrade will be deployed on May 7.
Nixo Rokish, a member of the Ethereum Foundation’s protocol support team, shared the news in an April 3 post on social media, saying:
“Pectra mainnet date confirmed May 7. Let’s gooooo.”
Ethereum core contributor Terence further clarified that Pectra would go live at 10:05:11 UTC on May 7. The date effectively replaces the tentative April 30 plan, which was previously under consideration but ultimately discarded.
According to Rokish, finalizing that date would not have met the 30-day notice period requested by builders building on top of Ethereum.
He explained:
“April 30th wasn’t confirmed and I personally also advocated today for May 7th over April 30th because builders building on top of Ethereum had asked for a 30 days heads-up from a confirmed date to fork and confirming April 30th today would have been a 27 day heads up.”
