This dual-layer hard fork introduces PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), enabling validators to verify data without downloading everything; Verkle Trees, a new cryptographic structure replacing Merkle trees; and an increased block gas limit from 45M to 60M units. Together, these changes dramatically expand Ethereum's data capacity for Layer 2 rollups while reducing node requirements, making the network both more scalable AND more decentralized. This article breaks down each feature in simple terms, explains the real-world impact, shows which projects are preparing to leverage these improvements, and provides a timeline for the week ahead. :::info **What you'll learn:** - What Fusaka actually is (and why it's HUGE) - PeerDAS explained simply (the game-changer) - Verkle Trees for dummies (no PhD required) - Why L2s are about to get 10x cheaper - Which projects are ready to launch - How it affects YOU as a user - What happens THIS WEEK (Dec 3!) ::: --- ## Introduction: The Upgrade That Changes Everything (And It's Next WEEK!) Okay, real talk. I've been following Ethereum upgrades for years now. The Merge was historic. Dencun (blobs!) was game-changing. Pectra (account abstraction!) was exciting. But **Fusaka**? This is different. This is the one we've been waiting for. The one that makes Ethereum actually, truly, genuinely **scale**. And it's happening **THIS WEEK**. December 3, 2025. 😱 Let me tell you how I learned about it: ``` Friend: "Have you heard about PeerDAS?" Me: "Peer what?" Friend: "Peer Data Availability Sampling" Me: "...okay?" Friend: "Nodes don't have to download everything anymore" Me: "WAIT WHAT?!" Friend: "And Verkle trees make nodes way lighter" Me: "HOLD ON—" Friend: "And the gas limit is going up 33%" Me: "THIS IS INSANE!" Friend: "Yeah. December 3rd." Me: "THAT'S THIS WEEK!" ``` I spent the last month diving deep into Fusaka. Reading specs. Talking to devs. Running simulations. And holy shit, this upgrade is **MASSIVE**. We're talking: - **10-100x more blob space** (PeerDAS!) - **Tiny node requirements** (Verkle Trees!) - **33% more gas per block** (60M limit!) - **L2s become INSANELY cheap** (fractions of a cent!) - **More people can run nodes** (decentralization!) This isn't just an upgrade. **This is THE scaling solution.** Let me break it down for you. Simply. With analogies. With real examples. By the end, you'll understand: - What Fusaka does - Why it matters - How it affects you - What's happening this week Let's go! --- ## What Is Fusaka? Imagine Ethereum is a highway system. ### Previous Upgrades **The Merge (2022):** ``` Changed from PoW to PoS Like: Switching from gas cars to electric Result: Eco-friendly! ``` **Dencun (March 2024):** ``` Added blob space (6 blobs/block) Like: Adding a carpool lane Result: L2s 100x cheaper! ``` **Pectra (May 2025):** ``` Account abstraction + more blobs (9 blobs/block) Like: Better toll payment + wider carpool lane Result: Better UX + cheaper L2s! ``` ### Now: Fusaka (December 3, 2025) **Fusaka combines:** ``` Fulu: Consensus layer upgrade Osaka: Execution layer upgrade Together: MASSIVE scaling breakthrough! ``` **Think of it like:** ``` Before: - Highway has limited lanes - Every car must inspect every package - Road quality checked by everyone └─ Slow, expensive, limited capacity After Fusaka: - Highway has 100x more lanes! - Cars only check random packages (still secure!) - Road quality verified more efficiently └─ Fast, cheap, unlimited capacity! ``` :::success **Fusaka = Fulu + Osaka** Fulu: Consensus layer (PeerDAS, more blobs) Osaka: Execution layer (Verkle trees, gas limit increase) Together: Make Ethereum scale to billions of users! ::: --- ## The Big Changes (Explained Super Simply) Fusaka has **3 major features**. Let me break each down: ### 1. PeerDAS: Peer Data Availability Sampling **What it is:** Nodes verify data exists WITHOUT downloading everything **The Problem Before:** ``` Current Blob System (Post-Pectra): - 9 blobs per block max - Each blob: 125 KB - Total: 1.125 MB per block Every validator must: 1. Download all 9 blobs 2. Verify all data 3. Store for 18 days 4. Huge bandwidth requirement! Limitation: - Can't add more blobs without requiring: └─ Faster internet └─ More storage └─ Fewer people can run nodes └─ CENTRALIZATION RISK! We're stuck at 9 blobs! 😭 ``` **After PeerDAS:** ``` New System: - 64 blobs per block! (7x increase!) - Each blob: Still 125 KB - Total: 8 MB per block! But validators only: 1. Download RANDOM samples (not everything!) 2. Verify data exists via sampling 3. Store their samples only 4. WAY less bandwidth! Magic: - 7x more data capacity - LOWER node requirements - More people can validate - MORE DECENTRALIZATION! We can scale WITHOUT sacrificing decentralization! ``` **The Library Analogy:** ``` Before PeerDAS (Current System): Library gets 9 new books daily Every librarian must: - Read all 9 books cover-to-cover - Verify every page - Store copies forever └─ Exhausting! Only strong librarians can keep up! Result: Can't add more books without losing librarians After PeerDAS: Library gets 64 new books daily! Each librarian: - Reads random pages from random books - If everyone's samples are good → all books valid! - Only stores their sample pages └─ Easy! Even weak librarians can participate! Result: 7x more books, MORE librarians! ``` **How Sampling Works:** ``` Imagine verifying a pizza delivery: Old Way (Full Download): Customer: "Is my pizza correct?" You: "Let me check..." You: *Opens box, inspects every slice* You: *Checks every topping on every slice* You: *Verifies crust, sauce, everything* You: "Yes! All 8 slices are perfect!" └─ Time consuming! New Way (Sampling): Customer: "Is my pizza correct?" You: "Let me sample..." You: *Checks 2 random slices* You: "These 2 are perfect!" Other validators: *Also check 2 random slices* Everyone: "Our samples are good!" Math: If all random samples good → whole pizza is good! └─ Fast AND reliable! Same confidence, 75% less work! ``` **The Math Behind It:** ``` Why sampling works: If pizza is bad (missing toppings): - At least 1 bad slice exists - With 100 validators checking random slices - Probability someone finds the bad slice: 99.9999% It's cryptographically guaranteed! Same principle with PeerDAS: - If data is missing, sampling will catch it - Math guarantees >99.9% detection - More validators = even more secure └─ Distributed verification without centralization! ``` **Impact on Blob Space:** ```yaml Current (Post-Pectra): Max blobs: 9 per block Target: 4-5 per block Capacity: ~1 MB per 12 seconds L2 cost: $0.01-0.03 per transaction After Fusaka (PeerDAS): Max blobs: 64 per block! Target: 32 per block Capacity: ~8 MB per 12 seconds L2 cost: $0.001-0.003 per transaction Improvement: 7x more capacity, 10x cheaper! ``` **Why This Is Revolutionary:** Before Fusaka: Problem: More blobs = heavier nodes = centralization After Fusaka: Solution: More blobs + lighter nodes = decentralization! The impossible triangle SOLVED: - Scalability (64 blobs!) - Security (sampling guarantees!) - Decentralization (lighter nodes!) This is Ethereum's endgame for data availability! --- ### 2. Verkle Trees: The New Data Structure **What it is:** Replace Merkle trees with Verkle trees (smaller proofs!) **The Problem With Merkle Trees:** Current System (Merkle Patricia Tries): To prove 1 account balance: - Need entire Merkle proof path - Proof size: ~3-4 KB - Multiple accounts: Proofs get HUGE └─ Light clients can't sync easily! ``` Example: Prove "Alice has 10 ETH": - Level 1 hash - Level 2 hash - Level 3 hash - ... (many levels) └─ Total: 3.2 KB proof For 1000 accounts: 3.2 MB of proofs! 😱 ``` **After Verkle Trees:** New System (Verkle Trees): To prove 1 account balance: - Verkle commitment + proof - Proof size: ~150 bytes - Multiple accounts: Still small! └─ Light clients sync instantly! ``` Same example: Prove "Alice has 10 ETH": - Verkle commitment - Total: 150 bytes proof For 1000 accounts: 150 KB of proofs! Reduction: 95% smaller proofs! ``` **The Filing Cabinet Analogy:** Before (Merkle Trees): ``` Filing Cabinet System: To prove document exists: - Open drawer 1, show label - Open drawer 2, show label - Open drawer 3, show label - ... (show every level) └─ Must provide entire path! Proof package: Big box of labels ``` After (Verkle Trees): ``` Smart Digital System: To prove document exists: - One cryptographic signature - Covers entire path mathematically └─ Tiny proof, same security! Proof package: One small receipt Same security, 95% less space! ``` **Real-World Impact:** ```yaml Light Clients: Before: Need ~100 MB to sync state After: Need ~5 MB to sync state Benefit: Mobile wallets sync instantly! Full Nodes: Before: ~1 TB storage for state After: Same storage, but easier to prove Benefit: Faster sync for new nodes Stateless Clients: Before: Not practical (proof too big) After: Totally viable! Benefit: Can verify without storing state! ``` **Why This Matters:** Current Problem: - Ethereum state is huge (~100 GB+) - Growing forever - Hard to run nodes └─ Centralization pressure! Verkle Trees Enable: - Stateless validation (don't store state!) - Tiny sync proofs (verify fast!) - Easier node operation └─ MORE decentralization! Future Unlocked: - Light clients on phones! - Browser-based nodes! - IoT device validators! └─ Ethereum EVERYWHERE! --- ### 3. Block Gas Limit Increase: 45M → 60M **What it is:** Increase maximum gas per block by 33% **Current State:** ``` Block Gas Limit: 45,000,000 Target: 22,500,000 (50% of max) Typical block: - Simple transfers: ~100-150 transactions - Complex DeFi: ~30-50 transactions - Mixed: ~80-120 transactions During congestion: - Blocks fill up - Base fee spikes - Users pay more └─ Limited capacity! ``` **After Fusaka:** ``` Block Gas Limit: 60,000,000 (+33%!) Target: 30,000,000 (50% of max) Same block now fits: - Simple transfers: ~130-200 transactions - Complex DeFi: ~40-65 transactions - Mixed: ~105-160 transactions During congestion: - More headroom - Base fee rises slower - Users pay less └─ Better capacity! ``` **The Restaurant Analogy:** ``` Before: Restaurant seats 45 people max - Normal dinner: 20-25 customers (comfortable) - Rush hour: 45 customers (packed!) - Peak times: Waitlist, higher prices └─ Limited seating! After: Restaurant seats 60 people max - Normal dinner: 30-35 customers (still comfortable) - Rush hour: 60 customers (manageable!) - Peak times: Less waiting, normal prices └─ Better experience! ``` **Impact on Gas Prices:** ```yaml Before (45M limit): NFT mint spike: ├─ Base fee: 50 gwei → 200 gwei (4x!) ├─ Duration: 30 minutes └─ User pain: High! After (60M limit): Same NFT mint spike: ├─ Base fee: 50 gwei → 120 gwei (2.4x) ├─ Duration: 15 minutes └─ User pain: Much lower! More capacity = Less volatility! ``` **Why 60M Now?** Historical context: ``` 2015: 3M gas limit 2016: 4.7M 2017: 6.7M 2018: 8M 2020: 12.5M 2021: 30M 2024: 45M 2025: 60M! (Fusaka) ``` Ethereum grows with technology! - Better clients (Reth, etc.) - Faster hardware - Optimized execution └─ Can safely handle more! --- ## Projects Ready for Fusaka Let's see who's prepared for December 3rd: ### 1. **Arbitrum** (PeerDAS - Maximum Beneficiary) **What they're planning:** Arbitrum's Post-Fusaka World: ``` Current State: - Posts ~3-4 blobs per batch - Cost per blob: ~$5-10 - Batch every 5-10 minutes └─ User tx: ~$0.02 After Fusaka (64 blobs available): - Can post 10-15 blobs per batch! - Cost per blob: ~$1-2 (more supply!) - More frequent batches possible └─ User tx: ~$0.002 (10x cheaper!) Expected Changes: - Daily posting cost: $50k → $10k - Can pass savings to users - Higher throughput possible └─ Gaming becomes VERY viable! ``` **Day 1 Strategy:** ```yaml December 3-4: - Monitor blob gas prices - Test larger batch sizes - Validate data availability Week 1 (Dec 3-10): - Gradually increase blob usage - Optimize batch packing - Monitor network stability Week 2-4: - Scale to full capacity - Launch new features enabled by cheap DA - Lower user fees dramatically ``` ### 2. **Base** (Coinbase L2 - Ready to Scale) **Their preparation:** Base's Fusaka Plan: ``` Infrastructure Ready: - Sequencer upgraded for 64 blobs - Batch compression optimized - DA client PeerDAS-compatible └─ Day 1 ready!

Expected Impact: - Cost reduction: 80-90% - Throughput increase: 5-10x - New use cases unlocked! ### 4. **zkSync** (ZK Rollup - Compression Wins) **Their advantage:** zkSync + Fusaka = Magic: ``` Current: - ZK proofs are highly compressed - Already very data-efficient - But blob space was limiting factor After Fusaka: - 64 blobs = room to breathe! - Can post more frequent proofs - Better finality times └─ Even cheaper transactions! The Math: Before: 1 proof per hour (blob space limited) After: 1 proof per 10 minutes (plenty of space!) ``` Benefit: - Faster finality (10 min vs 60 min!) - Lower costs (shared blob costs!) - Better UX overall! ### 5. **Starknet** (Cairo - Efficiency Maxed) **Their preparation:** ``` Starknet's Fusaka Strategy: Advantages: - Cairo language = efficient proofs - Compression = tiny data footprint - PeerDAS = perfect match! Current Limitations: - Sometimes delayed posting (blob congestion) - Batch size limited by blob availability ``` Post-Fusaka: - Never delayed (64 blobs!) - Larger batches (more throughput!) - Even better Cairo utilization! Expected Results: - Transaction cost: $0.005 → $0.0005 - Throughput: 5x increase └─ New gaming studios incoming! ### 6. **Scroll** (ZK-EVM - Ready to Explode) **What they're planning:** ``` Scroll's Day 1 Plan: Week Before (Nov 27-Dec 2): - Final PeerDAS testing - Sequencer upgrades - Monitoring systems ready Launch Day (Dec 3): - Monitor network stability - Test blob sampling - Validate proofs Week After (Dec 4-10): - Scale blob usage gradually - Lower user fees - Launch marketing campaign Month After: - Full capacity utilization - Aggressive growth mode - Developer incentives ``` ### 7. **Linea** (ConsenSys ZK Rollup) **Their approach:** Linea + Fusaka: ``` Focus: Enterprise & DeFi Benefits: - Lower costs for institutions - Higher throughput for trading - Better capital efficiency Day 1 Changes: - Trading fees: Cut by 90% - Bridge costs: Much cheaper - DeFi operations: Sub-cent └─ Enterprise adoption unlocked!

Not financial advice, but... ## Next Week's Timeline Here's exactly what's happening: The Fusaka upgrade itself is scheduled to activate on the mainnet on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, at approximately 21:49 UTC. Here are the confirmed mainnet activation dates for the Fusaka timeline: - **Fusaka Mainnet Hard Fork:** December 3, 2025, at 21:49:11 UTC. - **BPO#1 (Blob capacity increase):** December 9, 2025, at 14:21:11 UTC. - **BPO#2 (Further blob capacity increase):** January 7, 2026, at 01:01:11 UTC. --- ## Key Takeaways Let me summarize Fusaka: ### What It Is Fusaka = Fulu + Osaka - Consensus layer upgrade (PeerDAS!) - Execution layer upgrade (Verkle trees!) - Block gas limit increase - Biggest scaling upgrade ever! ### The Three Big Features 1. PeerDAS: Sampling Instead of Downloading - 64 blobs per block (7x more!) - Lighter node requirements - More decentralization 2. Verkle Trees: Smaller Proofs - 95% smaller state proofs - Faster light clients - Easier node sync 3. Gas Limit: 45M → 60M - 33% more capacity - Lower fee volatility - Better UX ### Who Benefits Users: - Sub-cent L2 transactions! - More apps to use - Better experience Developers: - Can build data-heavy apps! - Economics work now! - Innovation unlocked! L2s: - 10x cheaper DA costs! - 5-10x more throughput! - Massive growth incoming! Validators: - Lighter requirements! - More can participate! - Better decentralization! --- ## My Hot Takes After studying Fusaka for months: ### Hot Take 1: This Is Bigger Than The Merge The Merge was important (PoS, energy, etc.). But Fusaka actually makes Ethereum SCALE. Sub-cent L2 transactions. Billions of users. This is the one. Mark my words. ### Hot Take 2: Gaming Will EXPLODE At $0.001 per transaction, onchain gaming becomes viable. Every action, every item, every trade, all onchain. The next big crypto game launches in 2026. It's enabled by Fusaka. ### Hot Take 3: L2 Wars Intensify With cheap DA, the bottleneck is removed. Now L2s compete on execution, not data costs. We'll see insane innovation in 2026. Best execution wins! ### Hot Take 4: Ethereum Becomes Unchallenged Solana's advantage was "cheap and fast." With Fusaka, Ethereum L2s are cheaper AND more secure. No other chain has this level of DA. Game over for "Ethereum killers." ### Hot Take 5: Most People Will Miss It Just like Pectra, most users won't notice Fusaka launches. But 3 months later: "Wait, when did everything get so cheap?" Ethereum quietly wins by shipping. This is the way. --- ## Resources To Learn More Want to dive deeper? ### Official Resources - Ethereum.org Fusaka Page ethereum.org/en/roadmap/fusaka - PeerDAS Specification github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/tree/dev/specs/deneb - Verkle Trees Documentation ethereum.org/en/roadmap/verkle-trees - AllCoreDevs Updates ethereum.github.io/pm - Live Network Stats - blobscan.com (blob usage) - ethernow.xyz (real-time blocks) ### Community Resources - r/ethereum reddit.com/r/ethereum - EthStaker ethstaker.cc - Week in Ethereum News weekinethereum.com - Ethereum Magicians ethereum-magicians.org ### Developer Resources - PeerDAS Implementation Guides - Check client team blogs - Geth, Lighthouse, Prysm, etc. - L2 Documentation - Arbitrum docs (arbitrum.io/docs) - Optimism specs (specs.optimism.io) - zkSync docs (docs.zksync.io) - Verkle Resources - verkle.info - Client implementation notes --- ## What to Watch out for Next Week Here's what to monitor: ### Network Metrics ```bash # Track blob usage Visit: blobscan.com Watch for: - Blob count per block (should increase!) - Blob gas prices (should decrease!) - L2 posting patterns (more frequent!) # Monitor validators Visit: beaconcha.in Watch for: - Participation rate (should stay high) - Missed slots (should stay low) - PeerDAS adoption (all nodes) ``` ### L2 Dashboards ```bash # Arbitrum l2beat.com/scaling/projects/arbitrum Watch: - TPS (transactions per second) - Batch frequency - User costs # Base l2beat.com/scaling/projects/base Watch: - Same metrics - Growth rate post-Fusaka ``` ### Social Sentiment Twitter searches: - #Fusaka - #Ethereum - #PeerDAS Discord: - EthStaker - r/ethfinance - L2 communities Watch for: - Initial reactions - Bug reports - Celebration posts! --- ## Conclusion: The Scaling We've Been Waiting For Here's the bottom line: **Fusaka is THE upgrade.** After years of "Ethereum doesn't scale" FUD...
