Ethereum’s Fusaka update has debuted on Hoodi, its final testnet, and is slated to bring several security and scalability improvements to the blockchain’s mainnet.
Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Fusaka, is now live on the blockchain’s final testnet, Hoodi, setting the stage for its Dec. 3 mainnet launch that is slated to add several scalability and security improvements to the network.
“Another smooth upgrade, another key milestone on the road to Fusaka,” Nethermind said in a post to X on Tuesday after its widely used validator client completed the fork.
Fusaka will add several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), such as Peer Data Availability Sampling, or PeerDAS, via EIP-7594, enabling validators to read smaller pieces of data on layer 2 networks as opposed to full blobs, boosting node efficiency.
