Ethereum developers officially set the target date for the Fusaka upgrade as December 3.

ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Ethereum Foundation researchers have officially finalized the mainnet hard fork date for Ethereum's next major upgrade, Fusaka, just two days after the final testnet deployment. During Thursday's All Core Developers call, Ethereum Foundation researchers stated that Fusaka will officially go live on December 3.

The backward-compatible Fusaka hard fork will implement around a dozen Ethereum Improvement Proposals, aiming to enhance the sustainability, security, and scalability of the base chain and surrounding Layer 2 ecosystem. Notably, Fusaka will introduce PeerDAS technology, providing validators with a more efficient way to access data. PeerDAS was originally planned to be included in Ethereum's previous major upgrade, Pectra, in February this year, but was postponed due to testing requirements. In addition, Fusaka will increase Ethereum's block gas limit from 30 million units to 150 million units, and is expected to quickly double blob capacity.
