Overview

• Stańczak issued an August 8 update calling for a temporary halt to Glamsterdam discussions in order to concentrate on the Fusaka upgrade.
• Fusaka is currently in its testnet phase but development bottlenecks have emerged, jeopardizing its integration timeline.
• The upgrade will deliver Peer Data Availability Sampling, adjustments to the transaction gas limit, and refinements to blob parameters through multiple EIPs.
• Glamsterdam remains slated for delivery before the third quarter of 2026 but has been de-emphasized in planning sessions.
• Ethereum Foundation leaders warn that meeting Fusaka’s deadline is crucial for preserving the network’s phased roadmap and competitive edge.
