Ethereum Developers Finalize Next Upgrade Timeline
Core devs converged on a target window for the next hard fork, prioritizing execution-layer improvements and blob capacity.
Ethereum core developers have coalesced around a target window for the next hard fork, code-named Fusaka, with a subsequent upgrade under the working name Glamsterdam already being scoped. The consensus was reached during recent All Core Devs calls streamed publicly by the Ethereum Foundation.
The Fusaka scope centres on execution-layer improvements, including PeerDAS work aimed at scaling data availability without inflating full-node requirements, alongside a set of smaller EIPs targeting quality-of-life fixes for wallets and rollups.
Rollup teams have broadly welcomed the direction, arguing that predictable blob capacity is now the single most important variable governing layer-2 transaction fees. A firm activation date is expected once the specification is frozen and client teams confirm implementation timelines.
