# Pectra {#pectra}

Pectra is an upcoming Ethereum protocol upgrade that brings new functionality and changes to the Ethereum network. Following [Dencun](/roadmap/dencun/), this is another major upgrade to both the execution and consensus layer of Ethereum. The shortened name Pectra is a combination of Prague and Electra, which are the respective names for the execution and consensus layer specification changes. Together, these changes bring a number of improvements to Ethereum users, developers and validators.
