Ethereum\u2019s much-anticipated Fusaka hard fork reached a major milestone on Tuesday with a successful deployment on the Hoodi testnet \u2013 its final testing phase before mainnet activation later this year.<\/p>\n
The test, which went live around 18:53 UTC, was the completion of Ethereum\u2019s three-stage simulation process following earlier activations on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets.<\/p>\n
According to the Ethereum Foundation, Fusaka\u2019s mainnet rollout is expected at least 30 days after Hoodi\u2019s activation, while developers tentatively target December 3. The main objective behind the upgrade is to strengthen Ethereum\u2019s scalability, security, and cost efficiency, building on the groundwork laid<\/a> by April\u2019s Pectra upgrade.<\/p>\n Fusaka introduces a series of technical improvements spanning more than a dozen Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Leading the list is the EIP-7594, or Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), which enables validators to verify only portions of data, rather than entire \u201cblobs,\u201d and significantly reduces bandwidth demands and operational costs for validators and Layer 2 networks.<\/p>\n Other proposals, such as EIPs 7825 and 7935, will adjust gas limits to improve efficiency and prepare the network for parallel execution, while EIPs 7939 and 7951 boost performance and zero-knowledge proving support. These upgrades are designed to lower transaction costs for users and developers while setting the stage for the next phase of rollup scaling.<\/p>\n Ethereum client teams confirmed smooth progress following Hoodi\u2019s activation. Nethermind stated<\/a><\/p>\n \u201cThe Ethereum \ud835\udddb\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddf1\ud835\uddf6 \ud835\uddd9\ud835\uddfc\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddf8 has been successfully completed and is now running seamlessly on the \ud835\udde1\ud835\uddf2\ud835\ude01\ud835\uddf5\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddff\ud835\uddfa\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddfb\ud835\uddf1 \ud835\uddd6\ud835\uddf9\ud835\uddf6\ud835\uddf2\ud835\uddfb\ud835\ude01. Another smooth upgrade, another key milestone on the road to Fusaka. Big thanks to everyone in the ecosystem who helped make it happen \u2013 from client teams to researchers and operators.\u201d<\/p>\n Consensys also said<\/a> that Fusaka \u201cpaves the way for parallel execution\u201d and lays the foundation for future network advancements. The rollout will proceed in phases. Following the mainnet launch scheduled<\/a> for December 3, blob capacity increase is expected to be on December 17, while a second hard fork to expand blob capacity further is slated for January 7, 2026.<\/p>\n Ethereum developers have already turned their focus to the next upgrade, dubbed \u201cGlamsterdam,\u201d which is expected to introduce faster block times and further scalability enhancements. Glamsterdam falls under the \u00a0\u201cSurge\u201d stage of the network\u2019s roadmap.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, ETH\u2019s price remained fairly unfazed by the technical development. The altcoin recorded a fresh decline of almost 3% over the past 24 hours and is currently trading below $4,000.<\/p>\n The post Ethereum\u2019s Fusaka Upgrade Hits Final Testnet \u2013 Mainnet Launch Locked for December 3<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ethereum\u2019s much-anticipated Fusaka hard fork reached a major milestone on Tuesday with a successful deployment on the Hoodi testnet \u2013 its final testing phase before mainnet activation later this year.
