The Protocol: Ethereum Preps For Upcoming Fusaka Upgrade
Ethereum developers are deploying the Fusaka upgrade today to enhance layer-2 transaction throughput via 12 EIPs, notably PeerDAS.Summary
Ethereum developers are preparing for the Fusaka upgrade, the second of 2025, which merges consensus and execution layer changes to boost transaction throughput for layer-2 chains. Fusaka comprises 12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) aimed at making the layer-2 experience faster and cheaper. The most significant change is PeerDAS, which reduces validator bandwidth demands by allowing them to verify only segments, or "blobs," of data instead of the entire transaction data, thereby easing bottlenecks and lowering fees.
The article also covers other key developments: Anthropic research suggests advanced AI models like GPT-5 can already synthesize full exploit scripts for DeFi attacks, demonstrating technical feasibility for profitable autonomous exploitation. Additionally, Ethereum developers are advancing a zero-knowledge protocol, starting with a "Secret Santa" matching system, to introduce stronger privacy guarantees to on-chain interactions. Finally, Bitnomial is set to launch the first CFTC-regulated spot cryptocurrency trading platform in the U.S.
