Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Announcement
In a significant advancement for Ethereum, developers have announced that the highly anticipated Fusaka upgrade is slated to roll out in early November, coinciding with the Devconnect event. This upgrade aims to enhance the network’s defenses and scalability, building on the previous Pectra update.
Key Features of the Fusaka Upgrade
Key features will include improvements to transaction security and throughput, making the network more robust against potential attacks. The upgrade will introduce a range of enhancements, such as bolstering security measures which will ultimately lead to improved scalability.
However, certain proposals have been shelved, including a plan to double the contract code size limits, as well as the exclusion of the more contentious upgrade, which sparked debate among developers.
Future Developments: Glamsterdam Hard Fork
Following the Fusaka launch, attention will turn to the next hard fork named Glamsterdam, currently in the planning stages. Early discussions suggest potential enhancements like a reduction in block confirmation times from 12 seconds to a yet-to-be-determined period, which could further optimize transaction costs and elevate network capacity.
Supporters among Ethereum validators have shown a preference for such a change, indicating an enthusiastic response to improving efficiency.
Urgency in Development
In light of the tight schedule, a core developer emphasized the urgency of meeting project milestones ahead of Devconnect, urging team members to expedite client releases in the upcoming weeks.
As these two major upgrades approach, Ethereum’s network continues its trajectory towards greater performance and security.
