Ethereum completes Fusaka upgrade, officially entering twice-yearly hard fork cycle

AI Summary
Ethereum’s 17th upgrade, “Fusaka,” has been activated on the mainnet, marking its accelerated transition to a “twice-yearly hard fork” cycle. This upgrade includes 9 core EIPs and 4 accompanying EIPs, introducing the new “PeerDAS” technology, bringing significant improvements to scalability and user experience.

According to Jinse Finance, Ethereum’s 17th major upgrade “Fusaka” was officially activated on the mainnet at epoch 411392 (around 5:50 AM Beijing time on Thursday), just about 7 months after the Pectra upgrade in May. This upgrade not only brings multiple UX and scalability improvements, but also signifies Ethereum’s official shift to an accelerated development pace of “two hard forks per year.” Consensys stated that Ethereum researchers will aim for two upgrades each year in the future.

Since the 2022 Merge, Ethereum has typically only had one major update per year, namely Shapella (2023), Dencun (2024), and Pectra (2025). Fusaka introduces several key technical changes, including the new sampling technology “PeerDAS,” which impacts data availability and pricing. This upgrade includes a total of 9 core EIPs and 4 accompanying EIPs, making it one of the largest upgrades in Ethereum’s history by some measures. #成长值抽奖赢iPhone17和周边
