According to documentation on the Ethereum network, Fusaka is a new upgrade that will increase transaction processing while maintaining decentralization and security standards.
Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of ETH, tipped his hat at the developers who are behind this initiative.
You can read more about it here:
- Ethereum releases Fusaka, an upgrade that will boost the transactional processing speed while maintaining security and centralization.
- EIP 7594 (PeerDAS) is the key innovation. This allows for nodes verifying block data to be verified without downloading all of it, thus improving efficiency.
- The upgrade supports scaling, DeFi and growth to help Ethereum maintain its leadership in smart contracts and handle millions of transactions per day.
“Big congrats to the Ethereum researchers and core devs who worked hard for years to make this happen,” The 31-year old entrepreneur spoke on X in the late evening of Wednesday.
Expanding the network while preserving security
Fusaka was upgraded on the final testnet of the network. Hoodi, in October.
This project is focused on EIP-7594, PeerDAS, a protocol which enables Ethereum nodes (nodes) to check the data completion of a block without downloading all data. This implementation is designed to increase network capacity, while maintaining existing security and centralization parameters.
Ethereum is the most popular smart contract blockchain in terms of total locked value. It has over $73 Billion worth of decentralized finance applications (DeFi). According to Etherscan’s blockchain analytics platform, the network processes between 1 million and 18 million transactions per day.
Fusaka is part of Ethereum’s roadmap for scaling solutions. This scaling technique splits the blockchain network into smaller parts, which allows nodes to handle a fraction of transactions, while still maintaining security. It dramatically increases throughput.
The network developers have described the upgrade as an advancement of technology in Ethereum’s ability to deal with increased volumes of transactions without impacting the distributed nature the validator blockchain.
“Sharding has been a dream for Ethereum since 2015… and data availability sampling since 2017,” Buterin wrote citing a GitHub post. “And now we have it.”
Prices are reduced
Ethereum has surpassed $3,000 in value after the upgrade went live. Last check it was trading around $3162, up about 5%.
