Ethereum’s Magical Makeover: Fusaka and Glamsterdam En Route! 🚀✨

Oh, my dear friends, gather ’round and let me tell you a tale of the wondrous world of Ethereum, where the wizards and witches of technology are concocting yet another potion of progress. Yes, you heard it right, the folks behind the scenes are brewing up a storm with a brand new upgrade!

From making transactions as smooth as silk to ensuring no one can meddle with your digital treasures, this is the second magical makeover of the year for our beloved decentralized blockchain. And let me tell you, it’s going to be a doozy!

Another Spellbinding Spell for the Network

The core coven of developers, guardians of the second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap, have cast their gaze upon the calendar and decreed that the Fusaka upgrade shall go live in early November. This enchantment is designed to make the network even more robust and scalable, ensuring that every spell cast (or transaction, if you prefer the mundane term) is quicker and more secure.

The next Devnet (Devnet-3) is set to launch in two days, and the council is already deliberating on the next wave of magic—Glamsterdam, which will follow Fusaka. But wait, there’s more! To ensure the potion brews at the perfect pace, one ingredient—EIP 7907—was deemed too risky and thus omitted from the recipe. It proposed changes to the size limits of code for smart contracts, but alas, it was not to be.

Should everything proceed according to the ancient scrolls, this upgrade will arrive a mere six moons after the release of Pectra, a testament to the rapid expansion and development of the network. For those keeping track, Dencun graced us with its presence in March 2024, enhancing the performance of Layer-2 solutions, and Pectra followed suit over a year later, bringing wallet improvements and increasing the validator limit.

But before we can witness the grand unveiling of Fusaka, two public test nets will be conjured in September and October to ensure all is well and true.

Protocol support member Nixo expressed his reservations about the tight deadlines, wishing for a smoother launch by the time Devconnect 2025 commences. Devconnect, a grand gathering of Ethereum app enthusiasts, will be held in the mystical land of Buenos Aires, Argentina, at the end of November, just as Fusaka is set to go live.

The Potions in the Cauldron

A veritable cornucopia of proposals is scheduled to be included in the upcoming Fusaka upgrade. Let’s take a peek at a few of the most intriguing:

  • EIP-7594: PeerDAS – Peer Data Availability Sampling: This potion allows for scaling data availability beyond the realms of EIP-4844, ensuring that not all nodes need to download all data, while still guaranteeing that the information is out there for all to see.
  • EIP-7825: Transaction Gas Limit Cap: As the name implies, this spell introduces a cap on the gas that can be used in each transaction, adding an extra layer of security to the network.
  • EIP-7934: RLP Execution Block Size Limit: This proposal suggests a maximum RLP-encoded block size and a margin for the beacon block size, reducing the chances of a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack and ensuring the network remains as safe as Fort Knox.

So, dear readers, mark your calendars and prepare for the grand spectacle of Fusaka and Glamsterdam. The future of Ethereum is looking brighter than ever, and we can’t wait to see what wonders lie ahead!
