The Ethereum network is embarking on a significant journey with the launch of its Mekong Testnet in preparation for the upcoming Pectra upgrade. As Ethereum scales its functionalities, market watchers are keenly observing whether ETH prices will breach the $3,500 mark in the near future.

隨著湄公河測試網的推出，以太坊網路正踏上一段重要的旅程，為即將到來的 Pectra 升級做準備。隨著以太坊擴展其功能，市場觀察家正在密切關注 ETH 價格是否會在不久的將來突破 3,500 美元大關。

Ethereum, the most popular smart contracts platform globally, is setting a new precedent with recent developments. While it remains at the forefront of decentralized application (dApp) deployment and transaction volumes, the network encounters challenges in keeping pace with emerging competitors. This scrutiny is especially pronounced in areas such as transaction speed and associated costs, where traditional operations on Ethereum's mainnet can overwhelm users with high gas fees, particularly affecting those trading meme coins. In contrast, alternative networks like Solana and Ethereum’s own layer-2 solutions offer more economical options.

以太坊是全球最受歡迎的智慧合約平台，其最近的發展正在建立新的先例。雖然它仍然處於去中心化應用程式 (dApp) 部署和交易量的前沿，但該網路在跟上新興競爭對手的步伐方面遇到了挑戰。這種審查在交易速度和相關成本等領域尤其明顯，在這些領域，以太坊主網上的傳統操作可能會以高昂的汽油費壓垮用戶，特別是影響那些交易迷因幣的人。相比之下，Solana 和以太坊自己的第 2 層解決方案等替代網路提供了更經濟的選擇。

Recognizing these challenges, Ethereum’s development community is searching for viable solutions. Recently, the Ethereum Foundation announced the launch of the Mekong Testnet, a strategic move towards the anticipated Pectra hard fork scheduled for early next year. Mekong presents a "sandbox" environment where developers can interact with new Pectra features. Crucially, this testnet serves as a validation step, scrutinizing new proposals and identifying potential errors before full integration.

認識到這些挑戰，以太坊的開發社群正在尋找可行的解決方案。最近，以太坊基金會宣布啟動湄公河測試網，這是朝著預計明年初推出的 Pectra 硬分叉邁出的戰略一步。 Mekong 提供了一個「沙箱」環境，開發人員可以在其中與新的 Pectra 功能進行互動。至關重要的是，該測試網充當驗證步驟，在完全整合之前仔細檢查新提案並識別潛在錯誤。

Pectra promises to bring fundamental changes, notably refining staking workflows, including methodologies for staking, withdrawals, and reward processing. Furthermore, wallet interfaces will undergo adjustments, a focal point in enhancing user interaction. Emphasizing scalability, these adaptations aim to increase mainnet efficiency, significantly benefiting meme coins such as Pepe and the newly conceptualized Pepe Unchained. The latter, a layer-2 Ethereum platform designed for meme coins, has garnered attention with over $25 million in ongoing presales.

Pectra 承諾帶來根本性的改變，特別是改善質押工作流程，包括質押、提款和獎勵處理的方法。此外，錢包介面也將進行調整，這是增強用戶互動的重點。這些調整強調可擴展性，旨在提高主網效率，使 Pepe 和新概念的 Pepe Unchained 等模因幣受益匪淺。後者是專為 Meme 幣設計的第 2 層以太坊平台，以其超過 2500 萬美元的持續預售而受到關注。

Developers are invited to explore the Mekong Testnet starting today, November 7th, a pivotal opportunity in alignment with the upcoming Devcon event in Bangkok. However, unlike previous testnets such as Sepolia, Mekong will remain accessible for a limited time before being decommissioned.

開發者受邀從今天（11 月 7 日）開始探索湄公河測試網，這是與即將在曼谷舉行的 Devcon 活動一致的關鍵機會。然而，與 Sepolia 等先前的測試網不同，Mekong 在退休之前將在有限的時間內保持可訪問性。

Ethereum's Pectra upgrade is poised to be a transformative milestone following the earlier Dencun update, which significantly reduced transaction costs on layer-2 chains by 90%. Despite increased activity on these platforms, ETH prices have faced downward pressure. Nevertheless, Ethereum's shift towards a more deflationary model, evidenced by data from Ultra Sound Money, indicates a positive long-term trajectory.

繼早期的 Dencun 更新之後，以太坊的 Pectra 升級有望成為一個變革性的里程碑，該更新將第 2 層鏈的交易成本顯著降低了 90%。儘管這些平台上的活動有所增加，但 ETH 價格仍面臨下行壓力。儘管如此，Ultra Sound Money 的數據證明，以太坊向通貨緊縮程度更高的模式的轉變表明了積極的長期發展軌跡。

Market sentiment ahead of Pectra remains optimistic. Investors are strategically buying on price dips, projecting a rally towards $3,500 soon. Technical analysis of the ETHUSDT daily chart indicates the coin is currently navigating a bullish breakout pattern, with crucial support ranging from $2,700 to $2,800.

Pectra 之前的市場情緒仍然樂觀。投資者在價格下跌時策略性買入，預計價格很快就會上漲至 3,500 美元。 ETHUSDT 日線圖的技術分析表明，該貨幣目前正處於看漲突破模式，關鍵支撐位在 2,700 美元至 2,800 美元之間。

Resistance levels have been identified at $3,000 and $3,500, aligning with peaks observed in July.

阻力位已確定為 3,000 美元和 3,500 美元，與 7 月觀察到的峰值一致。
