Ethereum's Fusaka Hard Fork Scheduled for December Launch

According to BlockBeats, researchers from the Ethereum Foundation have officially set the date for the mainnet hard fork, codenamed 'Fusaka.' During a recent 'All Core Developers' call, it was announced that Fusaka will go live on December 3. Developers have been targeting this date since at least mid-September. Fusaka was activated on the Hoodi testnet earlier this week, marking the final step towards its mainnet activation. Earlier this month, it was successfully deployed on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets. The backward-compatible Fusaka hard fork will implement approximately a dozen Ethereum Improvement Proposals aimed at enhancing the sustainability, security, and scalability of the base chain and its surrounding layer-two ecosystem. Notably, Fusaka will introduce 'Peer Data Availability Sampling' (PeerDAS), a technology designed to simplify data access for validators. PeerDAS was initially planned for Ethereum's previous major upgrade in February, known as Pectra, but was delayed for further testing. Additionally, Fusaka will increase Ethereum's block gas limit from 30 million units to 150 million units, which is expected to rapidly double the data block capacity.
