Galaxy Digital vice president of research Christine Kim said Hoodi would look to “mimic” the Ethereum mainnet as closely as possible by launching a validator set similar to how mainnet currently operates.Pectra could be activated on the Ethereum mainnet as early as April 25, approximately 30 days after the upgrade is planned to be deployed on the new Hoodi testnet. The Ethereum Foundation plans to invest significant resources into this network and run a "similar validator count" as the Ethereum mainnet.

Previous Pectra activations on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets ran into configuration issues, pushing back the official release schedule.Pectra was initially slated to launch on Ethereum mainnet in late 2024 but has faced repeated delays due to client readiness issues and synchronization bugs in the first two Ethereum testnets, Holesky and Sepolia.

According to the call on Thursday, the developers agreed to launch a new testnet rather than pursue other proposals. Hoodi is set to specifically give researchers a dedicated network to test validator exits, which would not be possible on Holesky due to a backed-up exit queue. Holesky and Sepolia will operate to test other research concerns.
Ethereum Foundation developers will launch a new testnet called Hoodi, according to an All Devs Call on Thursday. The new "long-lived" testnet is expected to launch next week, on March 17.
