Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Enters Final Testnet Phase Ahead of December Launch
- The Fusaka upgrade introduces a per-transaction gas cap of approximately 16.78 million units.
- This upgrade aims to enhance block efficiency and prepare Ethereum for parallel execution.
- The full block gas limit has been increased from around 45 million to 60 million.
- Fusaka will roll out on the Hoodi testnet on October 28, with mainnet deployment expected on December 3.
- PeerDAS, a key feature of the upgrade, allows nodes to store only small portions of layer-2 data.
The Fusaka upgrade is crucial for Ethereum’s scalability and security, addressing potential denial-of-service risks by capping transaction gas usage. This update is part of a broader roadmap that includes future upgrades aimed at improving network performance.
