The post Vitalik Buterin Reveals What Next After Pectra Upgrade: Details appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

In a March 1 post on X, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin shared details on Fusaka, which is expected to follow the Pectra upgrade. The Pectra Upgrade is billed to go on the Sepolia testnet by March 5, on epoch 222464. However, the Ethereum ecosystem is already discussing the next upgrade. What is Fusaka Upgrade? Vitalik Buterin Explains The Fusaka upgrade is expected to bring specific improvements to the Ethereum network. This includes enhancements to the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) and block capacity. Based on Ethereum’s roadmap, this upgrade is expected to go live in 2026, but no specific date is in mind. To this end, Buterin noted that Fusaka needs to get on a Layer-1 (L1) with Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS). Source: X He highlighted the ideal parameter for this event as a 48/72 blob target/limit. The Ethereum co-founder urged developers to focus on getting a Fusaka testnet with these blob parameters running the day after Pectra goes live. A few Ethereum community members have reacted to the news, citing that it is a big, next-level, and exciting deal. The wait for the Pectra mainnet launch is crucial for the best upgrade, especially because Fusaka will build on the foundation established by the former. Much of its focus will be on incorporating Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) deferred from the Pectra upgrade. Still, the goal will remain to enhance scalability, efficiency, and decentralization. In the meantime, the full scope of Fusaka is still under discussion. Developers are focusing on Verkle trees transition, EVM Object Format (EOF), and PeerDAS. Ethereum Ecosystem and Recent Upgrades In this past week, the Ethereum ecosystem has seen Pectra go live on the Holesky testnet. However, this particular testnet is currently faced with some technical challenges, leading to Pectra’s failure to settle on it. Hence, developers are…
