Ethereum’s Fusaka Hard Fork Upgrade Set for Late 2025: Key Changes and Community Sentiment

COINOTAG News, April 29th. Notable developments emerged from Ethereum as core developer Tomasz Kajetan Stańczak announced that the **Fusaka hard fork** upgrade is poised for implementation in the **third or fourth quarter of 2025**. The final timeline remains unconfirmed due to technical uncertainties, as per insights from fellow developer Tim Beiko. The widely debated **Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) Object Format (EOF)** upgrade has been excluded from the Fusaka initiative, primarily due to concerns regarding its complexity and potential complications in synchronization with the development ecosystem. Initially, the EOF upgrade aimed to revitalize the **smart contract development** landscape through a series of **12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs)**, introducing groundbreaking instructions such as **RJUMP** to streamline operations. Despite its promise for enhanced **EVM efficiency**, a poll conducted on the **ETHPulse platform** indicated significant resistance, with 39 addresses collectively holding **17,745 ETH** voting against this controversial upgrade.
