Overview
- Ethereum activated Fusaka on Dec. 3 at 21:49 UTC with finalization minutes later and no drop in validator participation reported.
- PeerDAS lets validators sample small slices of blob data instead of downloading full blobs, cutting resource costs and paving the way for higher rollup throughput.
- Fusaka implements key EIPs including a 60 million block gas target (EIP-7935), a ~16.8 million gas cap per transaction (EIP-7825), a minimum blob base fee tied to execution fees (EIP-7918), and native passkey support via secp256r1 (EIP-7951).
- Client teams plan Blob-Parameter-Only updates on Dec. 9 and Jan. 7 to raise blob capacity gradually while monitoring network load.
- ETH traded roughly $3,150–$3,200 with volume rising from about $28.2 billion to $32 billion, as Vitalik Buterin called PeerDAS sharding in practice yet noted remaining work on execution scaling, block building, and the mempool.
