[Ethereum Fusaka Hard Fork Completes Final Testnet Activation, Mainnet Expected to Launch in December] Ethereum's upcoming hard fork, Fusaka, was successfully activated on the Hoodi testnet on Tuesday, marking the final testing phase before mainnet deployment. Previously, Fusaka had completed deployments on the Holesky and Sepolia testnets earlier this month. The Ethereum Foundation stated that the mainnet activation will occur at least 30 days after the completion of testing on Hoodi, with the core development team tentatively scheduling the hard fork for December 3. Fusaka aims to enhance the scalability, efficiency, and security of the Ethereum blockchain through backend optimizations. Key improvements include increasing the block gas limit, expanding "blob" capacity, and introducing new node security features. This upgrade encompasses more than ten Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), with EIP-7594 being particularly significant. This proposal optimizes Layer 2 data availability through Peer-to-Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS).
