Berachain achieves Ethereum Pectra-style execution layer upgrade through forking

According to Foresight News, as reported by CoinDesk, Berachain has announced that it will become a non-Ethereum chain fully implementing the Ethereum Pectra execution layer functionality through the "Bectra" hard fork. This upgrade will provide enhanced tools for over 100 on-chain applications, improving the interaction experience for users and developers. The Bectra upgrade enables user wallets to have smart account functions, supporting batch transactions, setting spending limits, using the stablecoin HONEY to pay for gas fees, and making regular payments. Although the consensus layer changes of Pectra have not been synchronized, due to EVM compatibility, more than 200 existing applications can adapt to the new features without rewriting contracts.
