Ethereum is preparing for a major upgrade called Fusaka that will take the network’s scaling to a new level. Unlike previous, lengthy overhauls, Fusaka shows that Ethereum is capable of delivering targeted and impactful improvements in a shorter period of time. At the heart of this upgrade is Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP)-17594, known as Peer Data Availability Sampling (PeerDAS), which changes the way Ethereum processes data from rollups without requiring node operators to purchase expensive hardware or compromise decentralization.
PeerDAS allows nodes to verify only smaller pieces of data distributed across the network, rather than downloading entire blocks of data. This reduces data redundancy and bandwidth consumption and makes room for more data. This innovation is part of a strategic plan that the Ethereum Foundation has drawn up for the coming months. According to industry experts, this targeted improvement will not only make Ethereum more efficient, but also more cost-effective for users.
Another important aspect of the Fusaka upgrade is the adjustment of the fee structure between Layer 1 and Layer 2. Ethereum follows a rollup-centric roadmap based on a healthy symbiosis between these two layers. Layer 2 requires cheap and reliable storage on Layer 1, while Layer 1 needs to be fairly compensated for providing that storage. The upgrade aims to readjust this balance to ensure that Layer 2 data is priced fairly, especially when utilization is low.
For users, this primarily means cheaper gas prices and fewer network conflicts. Early indications suggest that the pool of pending transactions has already reduced, reflecting the changes activated before the upgrade. The developers emphasize that the upgrade is designed to stay within the limits of what is possible with off-the-shelf hardware to ensure that smaller operators are not left out.
The success of the Fusaka upgrade will be measured not only by the smooth implementation, but also by how the network uses the new capacities. The developers expect more data blocks to reach their targets and more gas to be used per block in the coming months. This shows that not only is the network capable of expanding capacity, but also that the ecosystem is capable of growing into that capacity.
