The Ethereum (ETH) blockchain is gearing up for one of its most significant upgrades to date, the Fusaka Upgrade, which is scheduled to take place on December 3rd. This enhancement is aimed at addressing one of networking’s most pressing challenges: scalability.
Promise of future Fusaka upgrades
According to recent information, analysis According to bull theory experts at social media platform X (formerly Twitter), Fusaka is designed to fundamentally improve the performance of Ethereum.
The main features of the Fusaka upgrade are significantly increasing network capacity and increasing the block limit from 45 million gas to 150 million gas. This increase is complemented by the introduction of two systems, PeerDAS and Verkle Trees, that collectively transform data management on the blockchain.
PeerDAS enables processing of Ethereum Layer 2 transactions Verkle Trees reduce storage requirements and make blockchain validation more efficient.
The impact on users is significant. Layer 2 solutions such as Arbitrum (ARB), Coinbase’s Base, and Optimism (OP) rely heavily on Ethereum for transaction settlement. The current protocol requires every Ethereum node to download extensive data sets in order to confirm transactions.
However, the Fusaka upgrade alleviates this issue. With PeerDAS, nodes only need to validate samples rather than complete chunks of data, potentially significantly reducing costs and reducing transaction times.
This efficiency means lower rollup costs and a better overall user experience in decentralized finance (DeFi) and decentralized finance. non-fungible token (NFT).
From an economic perspective, cheaper rollups are expected to stimulate activity across Layer 2 networks, resulting in an influx of users and applications. As a result, this surge could result in more fees being burned, thereby increasing the demand for ETH.
Could Ethereum reach a new price record?
For The Bull Theory’s analysts, the Fusaka upgrade not only strengthens ETH’s role as a leading payment platform; crypto economywhich covers everything from DeFi to tokenized assets, but also strengthens its position in the broader market environment.
Fusaka traces a series of important milestones that reshaped the foundations of the Ethereum network. The 2022 merge improved the energy efficiency of the network, and the 2023 Shanghai/Shappera update introduced staked ETH withdrawal functionality.
The Dencun upgrade in 2024 incorporated protodunk sharding and blobs, and the Pectra in 2025 brought validator flexibility and layer 2 interoperability.
Previous upgrades (including) pectra upgradedemonstrating the market’s responsiveness to improved network efficiency, leading to an astounding 50% rise in ETH earlier this year.
ETH is trading just above $3,500, but a similar reaction and demand level for the next upgrade could propel ETH to a new high of $5,250. This is supported by analysts’ predictions for a bullish fourth quarter for the broader digital asset market.
