🤔 Many people ask:
Why is the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade so "low-key"?
The answer is actually very simple:
👉 Because this is not a narrative upgrade,
👉 but rather an "engineering-level hardcore optimization."
But note:
A mature public chain is supposed to take this step.
——
✅ First move: L2 costs are directly halved
Blob expansion by 8x + PeerDAS sampling verification
👉 It's cheaper for L2s to post data
👉 High-frequency applications can finally "make the numbers work"
RWA, payments, DeFi, blockchain gaming,
It's not about "how much the fees have dropped,"
But: which type of application is truly activated
——
🔥 Second move: ETH Burn logic is reignited
After Dencun, blob fees were too low,
ETH briefly went from deflationary to mild inflation.
Fusaka introduces a minimum base fee for blobs:
👉 As long as L2s are still using them
👉 ETH must be burned
The deflationary narrative is back on track.
——
⚔️ Third move: Gas increased to 60M, L1 is truly speeding up
Don't underestimate a few dozen TPS as "unsexy,"
But this is the first time Ethereum
👉 is no longer passive
👉 is directly competing with Solana on performance
From "relying solely on L2,"
to L1 settlement + L2 execution in parallel
——
🧬 Fourth move: Validator threshold cut by 85% (most underrated)
PeerDAS means nodes no longer need to store all the data:
👉 More decentralized
👉 Easier compliance for institutions
Traditional giants like Fidelity, BlackRock,
Now truly have the means to participate deeply in the Ethereum network.
——
🧠 In a nutshell:
Fusaka doesn't generate hype,
But it's laying the foundation for Ethereum's next "institutional-grade expansion."
No hype now,
often means:
Big money is quietly figuring it out.
