ETH News: Ethereum Developers Lock In Fusaka Upgrade for Dec. 3 With PeerDAS Rollout

CoinDesk
Ethereum developers confirmed the Fusaka upgrade, featuring the bandwidth-reducing PeerDAS, for mainnet activation on December 3.

Summary

Ethereum developers officially scheduled the long-awaited Fusaka upgrade for December 3, marking the second hard fork of 2025. This decision was finalized during the All Core Developers Consensus Layer (ACDC) call #168, shortly after the upgrade successfully deployed on the final testnet, Hoodi. The upgrade's primary feature is PeerDAS, which allows validators to verify only data portions instead of entire "blobs," significantly lowering bandwidth needs and reducing transaction costs for both validators and layer-2 networks, ultimately making Ethereum faster and cheaper. The mainnet activation is expected at slot 13,164,544, around 21:49 UTC on December 3.
