Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade Completes Final Hoodi Test Ahead of Mainnet Launch
Summary
Ethereum developers have completed the final dress rehearsal for the upcoming Fusaka upgrade on the Hoodi testnet, following successful tests on Holesky and Sepolia. This upgrade, scheduled roughly six months after Pectra, aims to enhance Ethereum's scalability and cost-efficiency, primarily through the PeerDAS feature which reduces validator bandwidth demands by allowing them to check only data segments instead of full "blobs." With all three testnets completed, developers are finalizing the mainnet launch date, tentatively targeting November 28 or December 3. Meanwhile, work is already progressing on the subsequent hard fork, Glamsterdam, which is expected to incorporate proposals related to proposer-builder separation.
