Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Set for Early December with Blob Capacity Enhancements
- The Fusaka upgrade is scheduled for December 3, pending successful tests on three public test networks in October.
- Following Fusaka, the first Blob Parameter Only (BPO) fork will increase blob capacity from a target of 6/9 to 10/15.
- A second BPO fork will further expand capacity to a maximum of 14/21 one week after the first.
- Blobs, introduced in the March Dencun upgrade, enhance data storage efficiency for rollup transactions on Ethereum.
- Developer Christine Kim noted that additional BPOs are planned beyond the initial two discussed.
The Fusaka upgrade aims to improve Ethereum‘s scalability and network efficiency by implementing phased increases in blob capacity, which will benefit users of layer-2 scaling solutions.
With the mainnet activation targeted for December and significant capacity boosts planned shortly after, Ethereum continues its trajectory toward enhanced performance and reduced costs for users.(Source)
