EIP-7918 links L2 fees to mainnet gas, creating a new baseline cost that could increase how L2 activity contributes to ETH burn.
Fusaka adds throughput boosts, lower latency, and higher gas limits, affecting users, developers, and node operators.
Analysts list major corporate L2 projects that may face higher fee commitments, expanding the debate over long-term ETH burn.
Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka upgrade, set for December 3, has led to questions over how it may change fee flows across the network. The discussion accelerated after analysts on X argued that EIP-7918 could change how Layer-2 chains burn ETH.
Analysts Push New ETH Burn Angle
This discussion grew after CrediBULL Crypto claimed that bears underestimated Ethereum’s momentum. His comments set the stage for further reactions as Kira Sama advanced a different point focused on L2 economics.
That outlook centered on how EIP-7918 may alter the relationship between L2 fees and mainnet gas. Kira stated that L2s paid almost nothing in base fees until now. He said that structure limited how much L2 usage affected ETH burn.
His analysis then moved to how EIP-7918 ties L2 fees directly to mainnet execution costs. This link creates a minimum cost for L2 batch posting and aligns L2 activity with Ethereum’s fee markets.
Fusaka Brings Broad Technical Changes
However, the broader Fusaka upgrade includes several changes across the ecosystem. Ethereum said Fusaka aims to improve user experience with faster transactions and cheaper mobile-ready wallets.
The network also highlighted PeerDAS under EIP-7594, which targets higher data throughput for rollups. These adjustments connect with app developers as Ethereum noted that preconfirmations may reduce latency.
The network also raised the gas limit from roughly 45 million to 60 million, and it introduced history expiry to lower node demands. Operators running large validator setups received updated bandwidth requirements.
L2 Burn Debate Extends to Corporate Chains
Because the burn discussion ties to economic activity, Kira listed several entities building L2s. He named Coinbase, Robinhood, OpenAI’s Worldchain, Sony’s Soneium, Alibaba’s Jovay, UAE’s ADI chain, Kraken’s Ink, Lighter, Deutsche Bank’s Memento chain, and Arbitrum.
He said these networks would contribute to ETH burn under the new structure. Notably, he compared this shift to the 2021 introduction of EIP-1559. According to him, the new L2 fee rules could push long-term burn growth as activity expands.
