The Ethereum Foundation has launched the short-lived 'Mekong' testnet ahead of the upcoming Pectra upgrade. The testnet includes several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), such as EIP-7702 for UX updates, EIP-7251 for staking improvements, and EIPs for changes to deposit and exit mechanisms. It aims to engage wallet developers and stakers before the full Pectra upgrade. As the testnet goes live during DevCon Week (Nov 9-17), analysts predict a potential breakout for ETH, with Ethereum's price targeting $4000. The recent bullish sentiment surrounding the upgrade and Ethereum’s price momentum has driven ETH to a 3-month high of $2,800.
