Reaching New Scale: Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade

In this issue of Coin Metrics State of the Network, we outline the key changes in Fusaka and the expected impact on Ethereum mainnet, Layer-2 rollups, transaction costs, and user experience ahead of tomorrow’s activation.

Key Takeaways

  • Fusaka expands Ethereum’s scalability with higher blob capacity and a more efficient data-availability system through PeerDAS.
  • L1 throughput increases meaningfully with the higher 60M gas limit and execution-layer optimizations.
  • Improved fee mechanics and UX upgrades lay the groundwork for a more unified and cost-efficient L1–L2 ecosystem.
