Ethereum Pectra upgrade was activated on the Holesky Test Network but was ultimately not confirmed

Ethereum’s Pectra upgrade was activated on the Holesky test network at 5:55 (UTC+8), but was not initially finalized based on blockchain data. Finalization means that once a transaction is confirmed and added to a block, it becomes immutable and irreversible. It is not fully clear why the testing network failed to complete. Ethereum developers are investigating. This is not the first upgrade that has not been completed on the test network. Previously, in January 2024, when developers tested the Dencun upgrade, the hard fork was not initially completed on the Goerli test network.（CoinDesk）
