The next major update of the Ethereum protocol, Fusaka, is scheduled for early November. Developers aim to improve scalability and network resilience while deleting unnecessary functionality.
In short
- Ethereum's Fusaka update aims to improve scalability and security by November 2025.
- Glamsterdam could reduce block times to 6 seconds, improving the DEFI and DAPP performance.
- Vitalik indicates that almost 50 % of validators support the increase in the Gas limit to 45 million.
Beginning of fusaka tests before the tight deadline in November
The update is part of Ethereum's continuous desire for faster and frequent improvements. Fusaka should arrive six months after Hard Fork Pectra, who introduced the abstraction of the accounts and improved the operations of the validators.
The next update includes 11 Ethereum improvement proposals (EIPS), including safety, scalability and optimization of the GAS. At the same time, the planning of the Hard Fork following, Glamsterdam, is already underway with new proposals under study.
Launch of the Devnet Fusaka while the testing phase is approaching
Core De Ethereum developers, including Tim Beiko, have confirmed that the Fusaka Devnet will be posted online this week. This development marks a crucial step in tests before public tests.
Two public testnets are scheduled for September and October. If the tests take place as planned, the deployment on the Mainnet will coincide with DevConnect in Buenos Aires between November 17 and 22.
However, the calendar remains tight. Nixo, a member of the Ethereum protocol support, warned that developers must deliver customer versions within six weeks to stay on time. To simplify the tests, the team removed the EIP-7907.
This proposal aimed to double the size of the code of contracts and to introduce a measure of the Gas. In addition, the developers have confirmed that the EVM object format, initially expected for Fusaka, will no longer be included.
A major feature of Fusaka is the EIP-7825, which aims to strengthen network security against malware while improving scalability. The developers also discussed the possible increase in the Ethereum Gas limit at 150 million. This change would allow a greater capacity for transactions by block, although the final approval is pending.
The Glamsterdam update is gaining ground with a focus on speed
After Fusaka, the developers of Ethereum turned their attention to the Glamsterdam update, temporarily planned for 2026. The main characteristics of Glamsterdam will be finalized during the AllCoredevs execution meeting on August 1.
A proposal from the developer Core Barnabé Monnot suggests reducing Ethereum's block time from 12 to 6 seconds. This change would considerably improve the effectiveness of DAPPS and reactivity for users.
In addition, Vitalik Buterin, co -founder of Ethereum, noted growing support from validators for the increase in the limit of Gas to 45 million. He revealed that almost 50 % of the shares are in favor of this adjustment. If it is approved, it could still lighten the congestion of the network and reduce transaction costs.
