Ethereum Fusaka Hard Fork Could Launch in November with Key Scalability Upgrades Under Consideration

Key Points

1. The Fusaka hard fork includes 11 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), with EIP-7825 focusing on increasing transaction throughput and a proposed gas limit increase to 150 million.

2. EIP-7907, which would have doubled contract code size and introduced gas metering, has been deferred, and the EVM Object Format upgrade will not be included in Fusaka.

3. The Fusaka hard fork is on a tight schedule to meet a November launch window ahead of the Devconnect event in Buenos Aires.

4. The Glamsterdam hard fork, following Fusaka, is expected to confirm feature upgrades on August 1, potentially reducing block times from 12 to 6 seconds to improve DeFi application performance.

5. Ethereum's accelerated upgrade cadence, with Fusaka coming six months after Pectra, reflects a strategic focus on maintaining leadership in scalability, security, and decentralization.
