📅 Key Announcement
Fusaka Devnet 2 launches on June 23, 2025 – a crucial step toward Ethereum’s next major network upgrade. At least three client implementations must be ready to activate this next-gen testnet. ⏱️💻
🧪 Testing Timeline & Devnet Updates
Some features have been deferred to Devnet 3, extending the testing timeline but adding flexibility to refine implementation and avoid bugs. 🔍🧪
⚙️ What’s Coming in Fusaka: EIPs ( Ethereum Improvement Proposal) on the Table
Major Ethereum Improvement Proposals under review:
🧬 EIP-7594 – PeerDAS: better data handling
📉 EIP-7825 – Cap on max gas fees
🔒 EIP-7951 – secp256r1 precompile (important for wallet & identity infra)
⚙️ EIP-7939 – New opcodes for efficiency
📦 EIP-7907 – Smart contract size limits (48 KB cap debated)
🔮 Next Horizon: “Glamsterdam” Upgrade
Long-term vision includes EIP-7745 (trust log index) and EIP-7919 “Pureth”, hinting at more transparent and modular infrastructure. 🌐🧠
👥 What This Means for You?:
💰 Retail Investors
■Bullish Signals Ahead? 🐂: With upgrades improving scalability and reducing gas volatility, Ethereum may become more attractive for users and dApps — potentially driving long-term demand.
■Volatility Watch ⚠️: As testnets roll out, price may react to perceived risks or breakthroughs. Keep an eye on developer readiness and upgrade delays.
■Lower Fees = Higher Adoption 🧾➡️📈: EIP-7825 and others aim to cap unpredictable gas spikes — making Ethereum more usable for everyday users.
🧑💻 Developers (Dev)
■Plan for EVM Changes 🧠: New opcodes, fee mechanics, and potential contract size limits may require refactoring existing apps.
■Layer 2 & zk-Rollup Compatibility 🔗: PeerDAS and EIP tweaks support Ethereum’s rollup-centric roadmap — great for scalability solutions.
■Security & Efficiency Gains 🔐⚡: Gas cost recalibration and precompile additions (like secp256r1) enhance performance and reduce technical debt.
🌐 Ecosystem Impact
■Upgrade Confidence ✅: Staged Devnet rollout shows careful planning — a win for Ethereum’s long-term reliability.
■More Inclusive Access 👐: If gas fee caps and contract size limits pass, Ethereum becomes easier to build on and more accessible to small-scale devs and users alike.
