ETH welcomes the official launch of the Fusaka upgrade today!

To be honest, many people don’t understand the significance of this upgrade. After the last Pectra upgrade, ETH surged 50% within a week, and the technical content of Fusaka is even more impressive than Pectra.

What’s the biggest headache for Ethereum right now? The Layer2 data congestion problem. When Rollups like Base, Arbitrum, OP, and zkSync transmit data to the mainnet, each node has to download the entire blob file for verification. This overwhelms bandwidth, slows everything down, and naturally keeps L2 fees high.

How does Fusaka solve this? Three ways.

First, a direct and bold move: block capacity jumps from 45M gas to 150M gas. That’s nearly 3 times more space, allowing for more transactions, contract calls, and Rollup data. With more space, on-chain activity increases, and ETH burn rate rises accordingly.

Second, PeerDAS. Nodes no longer need to stupidly download the full blob; they just need to randomly sample some data fragments for verification. With this, node pressure drops, Rollup costs decrease, Ethereum’s throughput goes up, and speed doesn’t slow down.

Third, Verkle Trees. These compress Ethereum’s state tree, making verification faster and storage lighter. Node sync speed takes off, and the barrier for long-term operation is lowered.

What does this mean for regular users?

Faster transaction confirmations. Smaller gas fee fluctuations. Cheaper L2 transfers. No more extreme congestion during peak periods.

You don’t need to do anything—your experience will naturally improve.

Fusaka scales up, cuts costs, optimizes data flow, and boosts burn efficiency. This is a truly profound upgrade. Starting today, Ethereum will be faster, cheaper, lighter, and more powerful.

But it seems the market hasn’t realized just how crucial this is for ETH.

ETH-1.55%

ARB-2.87%

OP-1.88%

ZK-2.8%

Alright, you really can't judge this upgrade by its surface; the PeerDAS part is the real core.

Damn, 150M gas? This time is really different. I missed out on the Pectra wave, kind of afraid to miss this one.

150M gas? Now that's real vascular dilation, I'm buying! --- With PeerDAS coming out, nodes can finally slack off a bit, haha. As costs go down, fees should drop as well. --- Pectra pumped 50% and no one reacted, but Fusaka is so aggressive and still no response? Maybe it's that old saying again: when all the good news is out, it's actually bearish. --- To put it simply, you can burn tokens, nodes don’t get overloaded, and transaction fees are cheap—this combo is just unbeatable. --- Wait, can Verkle Trees really make node syncing that much faster? Last I heard it was still in the testing phase. --- User experience might be up, but the problem is, your so-called "user experience optimization" in crypto has nothing to do with price pumps. --- With these three moves, the Base and Arb guys are gonna cry. The mainnet is back in action. --- I never understood why blob verification was so tough until I read your explanation. The technical details are the real game-changer.

Damn, PeerDAS is really impressive—nodes don’t have to do all the heavy lifting anymore. If Fusaka doesn’t pump this time, that would be really weird. Pectra could go up 50%, and this time the tech is even deeper, so why does it feel like no one’s talking about it? Wait, what does gas tripling actually mean? Will there really be no congestion during peak times now? Let me see when L2 costs will finally come down. If this round truly optimizes mainnet data flow, the burn mechanism will definitely be in demand. Honestly, I’m tempted to buy the dip. The market’s reacting so slowly—it shows not many people are doing their homework. PeerDAS + Verkle Trees combo is something special. Is Ethereum finally about to take off? Feels like some people still don’t get it.
