Ethereum’s Fusaka hard fork set for November completion, Glamsterdam upgrade near 100%
The post Ethereum’s Fusaka hard fork set for November completion, Glamsterdam upgrade near 100% appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka hard fork, scheduled for November, is expected to make the network much more scalable and secure. Several upgrades are underway by core developers, including the integration of 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). The EIP-7825 is one of several major features of the Fusaka upgrade, aimed at making the network resistant to malicious attacks. In addition, developers have proposed raising the gas limit to 150M to enhance the network throughput and support more complex operations. However, some other proposals, such as EIP-7907, which would expand the size of contract code, have been eliminated to speed up tests. The Fusaka upgrade leverages the most recent hard fork of the Ethereum network, Pectra, which introduced account abstraction, the ability to stake more ether on a validator, and improved the efficiency of layer-2 networks. Such improvements play a significant role in making Ethereum competitive with other blockchains. These blockchains are becoming increasingly popular in decentralized finance (DeFi). Fusaka has not suffered any shortage of hitches in the release schedule. Nixo, an Ethereum protocol support member, raised the issues of submission deadlines, mainly the impending Devconnect event in November. “If we want to ship by Devconnect, we need our timeline TIGHT. We’ll go over that in detail. Can we get client releases in the ~next month & a half?” ~ Nixo Validator support and gas limit adjustments Moreover, the Ethereum development team resolved to add the Glamsterdam upgrade immediately after Fusaka. Glamsterdam updates are still under completion until early August, with additional features to follow in 2026. Among the suggested improvements, there is a block time reduction to 6 seconds. Ethereum validators have also significantly promoted a layer 1 gas limit of 45 million. This additional amount, which increases the current cap on gas of 37.3 million, is to lower transaction costs…
