🛠️ The "Fusaka" update of Ethereum goes live in 9 hours! Will fees drop by 60%? 📉
The countdown has begun.
At 21:49 UTC today, Ethereum executes its second major hard fork of 2025: the Fusaka update.
While price action is erratic, the mechanisms on-chain are about to change forever.
⚙️ 1. The engine upgrade: gas limit of 60 million
The biggest bottleneck for Ethereum has been block space. Fusaka breaks the limit.
The change: The block gas limit is increasing to 60 million (from approximately 30M-45M).
The impact: This effectively doubles the amount of "work" (transactions, exchanges, smart contracts) that can fit in a single block.
Why it matters: More space = less congestion. This is the direct solution for those $50 gas spikes we see during NFT minting.
📉 2. The "L2 Stimulus Package" (PeerDAS & BPO)
This is the most critical part for users of Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base.
PeerDAS: Instead of nodes downloading all data, they now only "show" small pieces. This creates massive bandwidth savings (up to 85%).
BPO forks: A new mechanism called blob-only parameter forks (BPO) allows Ethereum to increase data capacity without a full hard fork in the future.
The outcome: Analysts project that Layer 2 fees will decrease by 40% to 60% immediately after this update.
🏦 3. Institutional signal
[Instruction: Attach a screenshot of the ETH price chart showing the $3,000 support level.]
Institutions love efficiency.
BitMine just bought another 96,798 ETH before this update.
The thesis: They are betting that cheaper L2s will drive the next wave of adoption of "Real World Assets," which requires high throughput and low fees.#BTC86kJPShock
