This upgrade is not talked about much, perhaps because everyone is either feeling down due to the market conditions or kissing their pants off in Dubai?
Fusaka is actually quite important, let me say something that everyone can understand:
Because the core competitiveness of Ethereum in the future lies in whether it can connect more ecosystems faster, better, and cheaper, making it easier for everyone to use. The larger the ecosystem, the more valuable Ethereum becomes:
So Ethereum must make itself: faster + cheaper + able to accommodate more people,
Fusaka is here to solve these problems, focusing on the following three aspects:
1️⃣ PeerDAS launched —— Rollups data throughput increased by 8 times
L2 can accommodate more users, more on-chain social interactions and games; more users mean more applications and more ways to play, high-frequency projects like Base / Blast / zkSync will benefit directly;
2️⃣ User experience significantly optimized (R1 curve & pre-confirmation)
Confirmation speed is faster, interaction waiting time is shorter → close to Web2 process experience
Web3 is most often criticized for being 'slow, laggy, and expensive'
The more data, the more transactions, the more ETH consumed
3️⃣ Preparing to increase Gas Limit: Gas limit from ~30 million → 60 million;
Higher Gas Limit means greater bandwidth, larger economic capacity, and the mainnet throughput doubles directly, allowing the mainnet to accommodate more L2 economic security settlements!
This means the prerequisites for enhancing ETH's economic scale are already ready!
Overall—
The Fusaka upgrade is the foundation and cornerstone of Ethereum's true major cycle upgrade, and it is a necessary path:
ETH's value capture model: L2 activity ↑ → L1 data availability consumption ↑ → ETH demand ↑ → long-term deflation ↑
PeerDAS + 8x throughput means that in the coming year: on-chain activity will increase exponentially, the inflation pressure on ETH will continue to decline, and institutions will be more willing to hold ETH;
So it feels like Ethereum is actually ready after the upgrade, just waiting for the market explosion!
L2 adoption → L1 value capture → ETH scarcity
This is how a true cycle begins.
Price will follow.
But technology always upgrades first.
If the value brought by the explosion of Ethereum L2 returns, and the narrative of the global settlement layer is solidified, a new high is just a matter of time; it will double within a year!
