Bigger, Faster Ethereum Is Coming
Ethereum developers picked November for the next big upgrade: Fusaka. It’s aimed at making the network faster and more efficient.
Glamsterdam, the upgrade after Fusaka, is already in the works. It’s set for confirmation on August 1.
Ethereum is moving quicker these days. Fusaka comes just six months after Pectra, which made staking and layer-2 networks better.
What’s Inside Fusaka?
The next devnet goes live Wednesday. Fusaka will include 11 updates called EIPs (Ethereum Improvement Proposals).
One major update, EIP-7825, will boost security and help the network handle more traffic.
Developers are also looking to raise Ethereum’s gas limit to 150 million. More gas means more transactions per block.
One feature, EIP-7907, which would double contract sizes, got cut to keep testing fast.
Forget about the EVM Object Format for now. It’s been delayed again.
Public testing will run September and October. Fusaka launches in November.
Why the Rush?
Developers want Fusaka live before Devconnect in Argentina this November.
If they miss the timeline, things get tricky. Faster releases mean faster upgrades.
Glamsterdam: The Next Step
Ethereum developers will confirm Glamsterdam upgrades on August 1.
One idea: Cut block times from 12 seconds to 6 seconds. That would make DeFi apps run faster.
Validators also want to raise the gas limit to 45 million. More space equals lower fees and smoother scaling.
Vitalik Buterin says half the validators already support this.
What Is the Gas Limit?
The gas limit is how much work Ethereum lets each block do. More gas = more transactions.
The “pump the gas” campaign started in March to push this higher.
Validators already raised it from 30M to 37M. Now they aim for 45M.
More gas, fewer fees. That’s the goal.
Ethereum On the Move
Ethereum’s activity is up. Daily transactions grew from 1.1M to 1.4M since April.
ETH price surged too. It hit $3,800 this week — the highest in 7 months.
Big funds and ETFs are buying more Ether. The bull is waking up.
