Ethereum Launches Final Fusaka Testnet Ahead of December Mainnet

The Ethereum development team has activated the final testing phase of the long-anticipated Fusaka hard fork. The test is now live on the Hoodi testnet, marking a significant milestone in Ethereum’s ongoing scalability and performance upgrades.

The Fusaka upgrade introduces key refinements to block validation and transaction efficiency, setting the stage for a smoother transition to mainnet in early December.

Mainnet Launch Scheduled for December 3

Developers have confirmed that the mainnet deployment of Fusaka is targeted for December 3, pending successful testnet results. The activation of Fusaka is expected to further improve Ethereum’s stability and resource optimization across the network.

This update will be followed by the next planned hard fork, Glamsterdam, which aims to introduce faster block times and a new Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) format designed to enhance execution speed and interoperability.

Ethereum’s Ongoing Evolution

The series of upgrades reflects Ethereum’s continued commitment to refining its core infrastructure. As demand for decentralized applications and blockchain scalability increases, upgrades like Fusaka and Glamsterdam play a critical role in maintaining Ethereum’s leadership in the Web3 ecosystem.
