🔥 Ethereum upgrade, do you really understand how powerful it is?
Fusaka is a typical engineering brute-force optimization: no storytelling, just efficiency, cost, experience.
But this kind of silent upgrade often has the potential to change the future of Ethereum.
1. L2 costs are directly halved, high-frequency applications are about to take off
With "Blob capacity increased by 8 times + PeerDAS random sampling"
→ L2 on-chain costs plummet.
If you regard it merely as a "cost reduction", then you really missed the point.
The key is: which high-frequency applications have been completely liberated due to lower costs?
For example:
• Arbitrum: RWA infrastructure activity directly increases
• Base: x402 payment and other high-frequency scenarios are easier to realize
• MegaETH: high-frequency DeFi / games have greater breakthrough potential
👉 This time it's not about making L2 cheap, it's about making the entire L2 ecosystem usable.
2. Blob fee "floor price" established, ETH deflation expectations have returned
After Dencun, Blob became too cheap, and Ethereum was instead "drained" by L2, leading to a decrease in the burn amount.
Fusaka's EIP-7918 directly adds a minimum base fee for Blob.
What this means:
Even if L2 has no volume today, ETH still has to pay tax.
ETH: it still needs to burn.
Once the burn returns to levels before Dencun,
ETH will once again head towards micro-deflation, and the global settlement layer narrative will return to the main stage.
3. Gas Limit raised to 60M, L1 TPS truly improved
In the past, everyone laughed at Ethereum for being slow, but now it is really speeding up
And it's no longer laid-back.
Gas Limit → 60M
L1 throughput → significantly improved
Ethereum's strategy has shifted from the past of "Rollup Centric unipedal walking"
To L1 settlement + L2 execution working in parallel.
👉 Ethereum is truly competing head-on with Solana in terms of performance for the first time.
4. PeerDAS: reduces validator threshold by 85%, decentralized qualitative change
The most easily overlooked but crucial change in Fusaka is this.
PeerDAS reduces the burden on nodes through sampled validation data,
→ Node burden significantly reduced
→ Ethereum becomes more decentralized
→ Institutional participation thresholds are officially dismantled
This step represents:
Fidelity, BlackRock, and other institutions can directly run nodes in the future
Staking, infrastructure, and compliance services can deeply engage
Ethereum's economic activity has the opportunity to usher in an "institutional-level" explosion
To some extent, this is the realization of a "lightweight sharding".
