The Ethereum hard fork named Fusaka is scheduled for the third or fourth quarter of 2025, following the Pectra update in May. This was announced by Ethereum Foundation co-executive Tomas Stančak. The exact date has not yet been determined, but the update promises significant changes for the network, particularly in Layer 1 scaling.
A key feature of Fusaka will be raising the gas limit to 150 million, which is four times the current figure of 36 million. This will allow for more transactions per block, reducing congestion and potentially lowering fees. The proposal outlined in EIP-9678 is already being tested, but developers warn of possible bugs in the client software that will take time to fix.
Another important part is PeerDAS, which will distribute data verification among nodes, increasing network efficiency. Initially, it was planned to include the EVM Object Format (EOF), but due to complexity and risk of delays, it was excluded.
Fusaka will strengthen Ethereum's position as the leading platform for smart contracts, but it requires careful preparation. Follow #MiningUpdates to not miss the news!
