Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Set for December, Blob Capacity to Double
- The Fusaka hard fork is scheduled to launch on December 3, with blob capacity increases occurring on December 17 and January 7, 2026.
- The upgrade aims to more than double the current blob capacity, enhancing network efficiency.
- A total of five Blob Parameter Only (BPO) forks are planned to ensure safe scaling of the mainnet.
- Average blob count per block has increased from just 0.9 in March to 5.1 currently.
- The Ethereum Foundation has initiated a four-week code audit program with a $2 million reward for identifying vulnerabilities in the Fusaka codebase.
- Currently, Ethereum’s exit queue has reached an all-time high of 2.6 million ETH, valued at approximately $12 billion.
The upcoming Fusaka upgrade represents a significant step in enhancing Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency through increased blob capacity and structured testing phases before its mainnet launch.
As the exit queue for unstaking reaches an unprecedented level of 2.6 million ETH, the implications for market dynamics remain crucial for stakeholders in the Ethereum ecosystem.
