According to Odaily, Ethereum core developers have decided to exclude the EVM Object Format (EOF) from the forthcoming Fusaka upgrade. The decision was influenced by several factors, including the tight timeline for the Fusaka upgrade, the development team's consensus to prioritize the advancement of PeerDAS, and the potential technical uncertainties associated with EOF. Additionally, there was a lack of effective incorporation of community feedback into the decision-making process. EOF was initially intended to optimize the EVM bytecode structure, enhancing security and performance, with plans to include approximately 15 EIP contents.

According to PANews, the Ethereum Foundation has released a new vision statement, reaffirming its commitment to maintaining Ethereum as an open, decentralized, and censorship-resistant global computing platform. The foundation plans to focus on infrastructure support, protocol upgrade coordination, privacy technology research, and community empowerment. Additionally, it aims to gradually decentralize responsibilities to foster self-development and diverse governance within the ecosystem.

According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum (ETH) dropped below 1,800 USDT and is now trading at 1,799.390015 USDT, with a 0.40% increase in 24 hours.

According to Binance Market Data, Ethereum (ETH) crossed the 1,800 USDT benchmark and is now trading at 1,802.430054 USDT, with a 0.67% increase in 24 hours.

According to Cointelegraph, Ethereum Foundation researcher Dankrad Feist has introduced a new Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP-9698) that could significantly increase the Ethereum mainnet's gas limit, potentially enhancing its transaction capacity. The proposal, unveiled on April 27, suggests a "deterministic gas limit growth schedule" starting at epoch 369017, approximately around June 1, 2025. This schedule would gradually increase the gas limit by a factor of 10 over two years, culminating in a final tenfold increase. Feist, known for the blockchain's "danksharding" data storage solution, emphasized that Ethereum clients would need to vote on the proposal for it to be implemented. He stated that the EIP aims to introduce a predictable exponential growth pattern as a client default, promoting a sustainable and transparent gas limit trajectory aligned with advancements in hardware and protocol efficiency. Currently, Ethereum can reach up to 20 transactions per second (TPS) in blocks dominated by simple transactions. The proposed 100x gas limit increase could theoretically boost Ethereum's TPS to 2,000, positioning it to compete with platforms like Solana, which processes between 800 to 1,050 TPS and has a theoretical TPS of 65,000. The proposal would expand the current gas limit from 36 million to 3.6 billion, potentially accommodating around 6,000 transactions in Ethereum blocks. This initiative follows a recent decision by Ethereum validators to raise the gas limit from 30 million to 36 million in February. The last adjustment to Ethereum's gas limit occurred in August 2021 during the London hard fork, which doubled the limit from 15 million to 30 million. Feist acknowledged that a rapid increase in the gas limit might stress less-optimized nodes and extend block propagation times. However, he noted that the exponential schedule with gradual increments per epoch provides node operators and developers ample time to adapt and optimize. EIP-9698 represents the Ethereum community's latest effort to enhance scalability at the base layer, following a focus on scaling through layer 2 solutions in recent years. Critics of Ethereum's layer-2 strategy argue that it has fragmented the ecosystem into several siloed chains with limited interoperability, resulting in a suboptimal user experience. Additionally, Ethereum developers are exploring a fourfold increase in the gas limit in the Fusaka hard fork under EIP-9678, which is anticipated to go online in late 2025. Meanwhile, the next major Ethereum upgrade, Pectra, is scheduled for deployment on the mainnet in May 2025.

According to Cointelegraph, two prominent members of the Ethereum community, Kevin Owocki and Devansh Mehta, have put forward a proposal for a dynamic fee structure aimed at balancing revenue generation for application builders with fairness in fee extraction. The proposal, introduced on April 27, suggests a simple equation utilizing a square root function to proportionally reduce the percentage of fees as the funding capital allocated to a project increases. This approach is designed to provide higher returns for smaller funding amounts, making it worthwhile to build mechanisms for smaller pools. For instance, if a funding pool amounts to $170,000, the square root function would result in a 7% fee, equating to $13,038.4 as overhead. The proposal also includes a cap on fees at 1% once a project's funding pool surpasses $10 million, ensuring that smaller app builders can develop decentralized applications without excessive fees while promoting growth by capping fees as developers scale their applications. Owocki and Mehta's proposal highlights the ongoing discussions within the Ethereum community about reforming fee structures and value accrual mechanisms to maintain the network's economic viability in the face of increasing competition. In 2024, the Solana ecosystem attracted more developers than Ethereum, with 7,625 new developers compared to Ethereum's 6,456. Despite this, Ethereum remains the leading ecosystem for developer talent, although its dominance is now being challenged. Solana has emerged as the second choice for decentralized application developers, closing the gap with Ethereum. Meanwhile, onchain analytics firm Santiment reported that Ethereum fees reached a five-year low in April 2025 due to decreased activity on the Ethereum base layer, attributed to reduced demand for smart contract operations such as decentralized finance. This decline in demand has led many institutions to scale back their Ether (ETH) holdings or sell portions of their investments, as investor sentiment toward the pioneering smart-contract platform continues to weaken without any clear catalysts for a turnaround.

According to Odaily, Ethereum founder Vitalik Buterin recently addressed comments from X user Paolo Rebuffo regarding the implementation of account abstraction in Ethereum. Buterin stated that the process is currently halfway complete, with the ultimate aim of making non-ECDSA (Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm) accounts the mainstream type on the Ethereum platform. These accounts are expected to include features such as multi-signature capabilities, key changes, quantum resistance, and privacy protocols. Significant progress has been made in simplifying the 7701 standard to advance this goal.

According to PANews, former Galaxy Digital Research Vice President Christine Kim shared on the X platform that Ethereum developers are contemplating the removal of EOF (Ethereum Virtual Machine Object Format) from the Fusaka upgrade. Unlike previous discussions, Kim believes that this time they might actually proceed with the action.

According to PANews, Alex Gluchowski, founder of ZKsync and CEO of Matter Labs, recently shared insights on the X platform regarding Ethereum's position as the 'World Computer.' He emphasized that Ethereum maintains product-market fit with downstream applications like decentralized Nasdaq and SWIFT, asserting that the Ethereum network itself is the true moat. Gluchowski described Ethereum as the foundation of the value internet, highlighting its core characteristic of credible neutrality. He suggested that if Ethereum continues to hold its status as the World Computer, value will flow directly or indirectly to ETH. However, he noted that similar to the internet not operating on a single server, the value internet as a global transaction and payment infrastructure will not run on a single chain. The future of Ethereum, according to Gluchowski, lies in its role as a secure foundational layer for a vast, decentralized blockchain network. He concluded that Ethereum will only succeed when it leverages its core strengths effectively.
