Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Set for Early December with Major Capacity Increases
- The Fusaka upgrade is scheduled to launch on December 3, aiming to enhance network efficiency.
- Blob capacity will increase by over double current limits, with adjustments on December 17 and January 7, 2026.
- Three public testnets will occur between early October and mid-November before the mainnet upgrade.
- Currently, the average blob count per block has risen from just 0.9 in March to 5.1.
- A four-week code audit program has been announced, offering $2 million for vulnerability disclosures.
- Ethereum’s exit queue reached an all-time high of 2.6 million ETH, worth approximately $12 billion.
The upcoming Fusaka upgrade is a significant step for Ethereum, focusing on scalability through increased blob capacity and efficient data handling via offchain storage solutions.
With the exit queue now at around 43 days, Ethereum faces challenges as it prepares for these major upgrades while managing validator withdrawals effectively.
