The developers of Ethereum Core have confirmed a provisional roadmap for the next major network upgrade, Fusaka, during the consensus of developers of all the main on Thursday (ACDC) call.
The upgrade, designed to evolve the blockchain more, is now scheduled for early December, with follow -up changes aimed at more than doubled Blob’s capacity in the weeks that followed.
Before Fusaka upgrade reaches the main maintenance of Ethereum, the developers will push the code through three public test networks in October.
If these tests take place smoothly, the main activation is targeted for December 3. The developers noted that the exact vintage numbers and the calendar will be confirmed in the coming days.
Extension of the blob capacity via bpo forks
While Fusaka itself will not immediately change the Blub parameters, the call described a progressive approach for the scale of the availability of the blob via the so-called blob parameter only (Bpo) Fourks.
A week after Fusaka BPO-1 will increase the target of the blog/max from 6/9 to 10/15, then a week later, BPO-2 will increase the limit to 14/21.
These incremental changes are based on the performance observed on the Fusaka Devnet-5 and aim to widen the capacity in complete safety without requiring software on the customer.
Blubs, introduced into the Mars Dencun upgrade, allow Ethereum to more effectively store large quantities of Rolup transaction data, which reduces costs for users of layer 2.
Ahead
Ethereum researcher, Christine Kim, who reported the strengths on the call on X, noted that additional BPOs remain on the roadmap for Fusaka, although only the first two were planned during this week’s call.
A detailed calendar of Fusaka and BPO activations is available via public notes from Ethereum.
The deployment of Fusaka follows the upgrade of Pectra de May, which introduced the changes in the implementation of the validator and new characteristics of abstraction of the accounts, stressing the continuous thrust of Ethereum to optimize the scalability and efficiency of the network.
