2. Tools and Infrastructure: Updates to essential tools for builders, stakeholders, and end-users, and the creation of new tools to support EIPs directly related to Pectra.
3. Testing and Security: Enhancements to testing frameworks and infrastructure, and tools to improve network security before and after the Pectra upgrade.
4. Adoption and Impact Analysis: Projects that track and analyze the adoption of changes introduced by Pectra, and tools or frameworks to measure the impact of Pectra-related EIPs on the Ethereum ecosystem and protocol.
