Ethereum’s Fusaka upgrade completed the final hoodi test ahead of the Mainnet launch
The final dress rehearsal for Ethereum’s upcoming Fusaka the upgrade took place on Tuesdayas the blockchain prepares for mainnet hard-fork activation.
The test, which went down around 18:53 UTC on the Hoodi testnet, involved passing a series of code changes intended to make Ethereum more scalable and more efficient.
Testnets are replicas of a blockchain’s main network, giving developers a safe environment to test major upgrades and fix any issues before they go live on the Mainnet.
Hoodi was the last of three testnets to run in a Fusaka simulation, with two others successful Holesky trial upgrades and Sepolia Networks.
Coming nearly six months after Ethereum’s pectra upgrade, Fusaka introduced changes designed to cut costs for developers, users and institutions running the network. Its center, Peerdas, Lets validators check only segments of data instead of entire “blobs,” easing bandwidth demands and lowering costs for both validators and layer-2 networks.
With all three tests done, the developers will finalize the date that Fusaka will go live on the Mainnet. According to the Ethereum Foundation, at least 30 days after today’s test, it is placed Tentatively at its earliest on November 28even key developers on a bi-weekly call last week discussed the potential Its availability goes live on Mainnet on December 3rd.
Ethereum developers are moving full steam ahead with the following hard fork, known as Glamsterdam. While nothing is set in stone, the developers plan to include proposals that work on separating the builder from the builder.
