PANews reported on October 31st that, according to The Block, Ethereum Foundation researchers have officially finalized the mainnet hard fork date two days after launching the final testnet deployment of Fusaka, Ethereum's next major upgrade. During a full-core developer call on Thursday, Ethereum Foundation researchers stated that Fusaka will officially launch on December 3rd. The backward-compatible Fusaka hard fork will implement approximately a dozen Ethereum improvement proposals aimed at enhancing the sustainability, security, and scalability of the base chain and its surrounding Layer 2 ecosystem. Notably, Fusaka will introduce PeerDAS technology, providing validators with a more efficient way to access data. PeerDAS was originally planned for inclusion in Ethereum's previous major upgrade, Pectra, in February of this year, but was delayed due to testing needs. Furthermore, Fusaka will increase Ethereum's block gas limit from 30 million units to 150 million units and is expected to quickly double the blob capacity.
