Ethereum core developers have officially confirmed December 3 as the deployment date for the highly anticipated Fusaka hard fork. This network upgrade, which represents a significant milestone in Ethereum’s ongoing evolution, will introduce 12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) designed to enhance the blockchain’s overall performance. The Fusaka upgrade specifically targets three critical areas: scalability improvements, strengthened security protocols, and reduced transaction costs for users.
Among the most notable changes is the planned doubling of blob capacity, a technical enhancement expected to substantially increase data availability and throughput on the network. This improvement will particularly benefit layer-2 scaling solutions, enabling them to process more transactions at lower costs while maintaining Ethereum’s security guarantees.
The development team’s decision follows extensive testing and community consensus, ensuring a smooth transition for node operators, dApp developers, and network participants. Ethereum stakeholders are advised to prepare for the upgrade by updating their client software to compatible versions ahead of the December implementation date.
