Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Completes Final Test Ahead of Mainnet Launch
- The final test for Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade occurred on the Hoodi testnet at approximately 18:53 UTC.
- This upgrade aims to enhance scalability and reduce costs for developers and users.
- Fusaka introduces PeerDAS, allowing validators to check segments of data, thereby lowering bandwidth needs.
- Three successful tests were completed across Hoodi, Holesky, and Sepolia networks.
- The mainnet launch is tentatively set for November 28 or December 3, depending on final preparations.
With the completion of the Fusaka upgrade tests, Ethereum developers are set to finalize the mainnet activation date, which will occur at least one month after the last test. This upgrade is significant as it aims to reduce operational costs significantly across the network.
The Fusaka upgrade’s successful testing across three networks positions Ethereum for a potential mainnet launch by December, enhancing efficiency through innovations like PeerDAS.(Source)
