Cycle Network preps infrastructure for Ethereum Pectra launch
Cycle Network ensures seamless Ethereum Pectra integration
Cycle Network has announced its support for the upcoming Ethereum Pectra upgrade, scheduled for activation on May 7, 2025. This integration ensures full compatibility between Cycle and Ethereum’s latest protocol improvements, reaffirming the project’s commitment to seamless interoperability across blockchain ecosystems.
Technical steps and upgrade preparation
Cycle Network positions itself as a universal, secure, and verifiable chain abstraction platform. By aggregating liquidity without relying on bridges, the project aims to provide next-generation infrastructure for cross-chain functionality.

Ahead of the Pectra upgrade, the Cycle team has outlined a plan to update its internal Ethereum node infrastructure in line with Ethereum’s evolving standards.
The maintenance window for this upgrade is scheduled from May 4 to May 7, 2025. According to Cycle representatives, this timeframe will allow for thorough testing and synchronization with Ethereum’s protocol changes. The team emphasized that the entire process will be carefully monitored to ensure system stability and uninterrupted performance.
Seamless transition and user convenience
Importantly, no user action is required during the transition. All updates will take place in the background, providing a smooth experience for both developers and end users. This proactive approach demonstrates not only Cycle’s technical readiness, but also its mission to support decentralized applications (dApps) through scalable, modern blockchain infrastructure.
Significance of the upgrade and Cycle’s strategic position
The Ethereum Pectra upgrade is expected to introduce a number of improvements aimed at enhancing performance, scalability, and overall network efficiency. By swiftly aligning with these changes, Cycle Network ensures ongoing compatibility with the Ethereum ecosystem while maintaining liquidity aggregation and transactional efficiency.
This move reflects a broader trend among blockchain platforms to stay in sync with Ethereum’s upgrade cycles, supporting technological alignment and reducing fragmentation in the Web3 space. As one of the few protocols focused on bridge-free liquidity, Cycle continues to strengthen both its resilience and innovation.
Notably, the Pectra upgrade was first launched on Ethereum’s Holesky testnet in February, allowing developers to test new features before their deployment on the mainnet.
