The Ethereum Fusaka upgrade has entered the final Testnet phase, introducing a single transaction Gas limit of approximately 16.78 million units.

According to BlockBeats news on October 22, Cointelegraph reported that Ethereum is entering the final Testnet phase ahead of the Fusaka upgrade scheduled for December 3. This upgrade introduces a single transaction Gas limit of approximately 16.78 million units to improve Block efficiency and prepare for parallel execution of the network, and it has now been activated on the Holesky and Sepolia Testnets. The Gas limit restricts the processing power available for a single transaction, ensuring that no single transaction can monopolize an entire Block, thereby allowing the network to handle activities more evenly. The next phase of the Fusaka upgrade is planned to be deployed on the Hoodi Testnet on October 28, with the Mainnet expected to go live in December 2025. The Fusaka upgrade (EIP-7825) is an important part of the Ethereum roadmap, following the Dencun upgrade in March 2024 and the Pectra upgrade on May 6, 2025. This upgrade introduces several changes: raising Ethereum's default Block Gas limit to 60 million, setting a single transaction Gas limit of 16.77 million (EIP-7825), and launching PeerDAS—the core feature of this upgrade. PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling) allows Ethereum Nodes to only store a small random part of the second layer “data blocks” instead of the entire dataset. This method reduces hardware requirements while maintaining network security and enables cheaper and higher throughput scaling for second layer networks.
