A new era for Ethereum is on the horizon — meet Fusaka, the upcoming major network upgrade set to launch this December (subject to final testing). Fusaka brings together two powerful components — Fulu (Consensus Layer) and Osaka (Execution Layer) — to deliver one core promise:
A faster, lighter, and more decentralized Ethereum.
Let’s break down what makes Fusaka a game-changer
PeerDAS — Scaling Ethereum for Everyone
The highlight of Fusaka is PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) — Ethereum’s new scaling powerhouse.
Instead of downloading every single transaction, validators will sample data to verify large “blobs” from Layer-2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism.
✅ Higher transaction capacity
✅ Lower L2 gas fees
✅ Faster confirmations
In short: More speed, less cost, and no compromise on decentralization.
Verkle Trees — The Root of a Lighter Ethereum
Goodbye Merkle Patricia Trie, hello Verkle Trees!
This upgrade reduces hardware demands for nodes by shrinking proof sizes — making Ethereum lighter and more accessible.
Imagine running a full Ethereum node on a simple laptop or even a phone!
That’s the future Fusaka is building — Stateless Ethereum and wider decentralization.
History Expiry — Ethereum Cleans Up
Nodes no longer need to store the entire blockchain forever.
With History Expiry, older data safely “expires,” freeing up space and speeding up synchronization.
🪶 Less storage
⚙️ Faster sync times
🌍 Easier solo staking for everyone
EVM Object Format (EOF) — Smarter Smart Contracts
Fusaka refines the Ethereum Virtual Machine with EOF, introducing structured “Sections” for code, data, and metadata.
This means:
• Better security
• Easier audits
• Smoother upgrades
Developers get a cleaner, more modular system — and users get safer, more efficient dApps.
What This Means for You
You don’t have to do anything — but you’ll feel the difference:
Cheaper & faster transactions
More secure smart contracts
Greater decentralization
A stronger, future-proof Ethereum
Fusaka marks Ethereum’s boldest step toward scalability, accessibility, and innovation.
It’s not just an upgrade — it’s the foundation for the next decade of decentralized progress.
