$ETH Ethereum is priming for a big leap with the Fusaka upgrade set for November 2025, packing a punch with key network improvements.
EIP-7825 is the star, bolstering defenses against malicious attacks and boosting scalability, while a gas limit hike to 150 million aims to slash transaction costs and ramp up throughput. EIP-7907, which would’ve doubled contract code size limits, got the boot to speed up testing.
The roadmap’s clear: Fusaka’s devnet drops this Wednesday, a public testnet hits late September, and the mainnet goes live in November.
Yesterday, some blocks pushed past 39 million gas units—an 8% jump from the 36 million cap held since February 2025—with nearly half of ETH stakers voting to bump the L1 gas limit to 45 million, per Vitalik’s comments. Transaction volume’s also spiking, climbing from 1.1 million daily in April to 1.4 million now, showing Ethereum’s humming with activity.
What do you think—will Fusaka’s upgrades turbocharge Ethereum’s dominance, or could the gas limit push spark unexpected network hiccups?
