Ethereum's core developers have decided to split the network's next major upgrade, Pectra, into at least two parts, with the first update set to be released around February 2025. This includes a proposal, EIP-7702, that would allow users to pay gas fees with other more versatile cryptocurrencies, rather than the current ETH gas fees on several other networks in the Ethereum ecosystem. Another improvement is EIP-7251, which would allow Ethereum stakers to receive rewards for stakes exceeding 32 ETH. For example, a user who currently stakes 40 ETH cannot currently receive income or voting rights from an additional 8 ETH. This would significantly reduce bandwidth requirements for the entire Ethereum network. Two other proposals included in the initial version of Pectra, EIP-6110 and EIP-7002, would also enable fully automated and permissionless ETH staking pools for the first time. The rest of Pectra may not be completed until 2026. (decrypt)

According to Odaily, the YouTube channel of the Indian Supreme Court was hacked, leading to the promotion of a scam involving XRP cryptocurrency instead of the usual live hearings. The breach resulted in the temporary shutdown of the channel, which was restored later the same day. Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse responded to the incident, stating, 'Ripple and its executives will never ask you to send XRP to us. It is regrettable to see scammers preying on and exploiting innocent cryptocurrency users, and social media platforms allowing such scams to occur. Please be vigilant and protect yourself.'
