#美联储重启降息步伐 On December 4th, the $ETH mainnet completed the Fusaka hard fork. This isn’t just some hype over a new concept—this is a real, tangible cut in Layer 2 transaction fees, slashing them in half—from several dollars down to just a few cents.

To put it plainly: previously, transferring funds on L2 might have cost $1-2, but now it could be as low as $0.05. This change is a huge win for regular users, because who wants to pay a 20% fee just to transfer $10?

Even more impressive is the Passkey technology brought by EIP-7951. You no longer have to write down those damn 12 seed words; you can complete transfers with just a fingerprint or facial recognition. Wallets like MetaMask and Rainbow have already adopted this, and the user experience has gotten way smoother.

Interestingly, before the upgrade, the Ethereum team even went to Peking University for a technical exchange. This move signals their intention to push these innovations to a broader developer community, not just a toy for a few hardcore geeks.

From a technical perspective, the real value of Fusaka isn’t about pumping the price—it’s about moving Ethereum from “usable but expensive” to “good and cheap.” Lower costs mean more experimental projects are willing to run on-chain, and a smoother experience can help the next wave of millions of users overcome the entry barriers.

In the short term, we’ll likely see an increase in active on-chain addresses and transaction counts. In the long run? This upgrade addresses Ethereum’s weakness in “user experience” in the public chain wars. When making a transfer becomes as natural as sending a WeChat message, the possibilities for the ecosystem truly open up.
