Fusaka Rollout: Ethereum's New Twice-a-Year Hard-Fork Schedule

What if Ethereum could evolve twice as fast? Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade accelerates development and is set to dramatically slash Layer 2 transaction costs. Its headlining feature, PeerDAS, allows data capacity to scale up to 8x by letting validators sample data instead of downloading entire blobs, making L2s significantly cheaper and more efficient. The upgrade also introduces more predictable fee pricing and boosts the gas limit cap, protecting against network-clogging attacks. Most importantly, this kicks off a new, aggressive twice-a-year hard-fork schedule, doubling the pace of innovation since the Merge. This means cheaper transactions on rollup networks and unlocks future features like using your phone's native passkeys to sign transactions.
