Ethereum’s Fusaka Upgrade: Enhancing Scalability with PeerDAS for Optimized Layer 2 Solutions

COINOTAG News reported on May 12th that following the successful implementation of the Pectra upgrade, Ethereum core developers are now directing their attention toward the highly anticipated Fusaka upgrade, set to launch by the end of 2025. The notable inclusion of PeerDAS—a Peer-to-Peer Data Availability Sampling mechanism—has been confirmed. This innovation aims to significantly lower the operational expenses for both Layer 2 scaling solutions and validators. By allowing nodes to verify data availability without the necessity of downloading the entire dataset, PeerDAS is poised to enhance network efficiency while minimizing resource usage. This development is expected to bolster Ethereum’s overall scalability and promote increased decentralization. While discussions regarding the finer details of the Fusaka upgrade continue, there is broad agreement among developers on the essential role of PeerDAS in optimizing the network.
