Fusaka follows this year’s Pectra upgrade, representing a major step forward in Ethereum’s scaling roadmap that improves L1 performance, increases blob throughput, and enhances user experience. The Fusaka network upgrade is scheduled to activate on the Ethereum mainnet at slot 13,164,544 (December 3, 2025, 21:49:11 UTC). Fusaka also introduces Blob Parameter Only (BPO) forks to safely scale blob throughput after PeerDAS activation. These are minimal, config-only upgrades that adjust the blob target/max and fee update fraction. See the activation table below for further details. The Fusaka mainnet client releases are listed below. Fusaka Overview Fusaka’s headlining feature is PeerDAS (Peer…
Ethereum’s weekly All Core Developer calls are a lot to keep up with, so this “Checkpoint” series aims for high-level updates roughly every 4-6 weeks, depending on what’s happening in core development. See the previous update here. If you enjoy reading core development updates, you may also be keen to learn that Forkcast now publishes call summaries, chats and transcripts for each All Core Devs call, usually available within a couple hours of the call. tl;dr: The Fusaka upgrade is nearly out the door, Glamsterdam is ramping up, with its major features in implementation and minor features being decided on.…
Disclaimer: The following blog is a proposal from the Account Abstraction team. Content may not imply consensus views, and the EF is a broad organization that includes a healthy diversity of opinion across Protocol and beyond that together strengthen Ethereum. Since the early days of Ethereum, the promise has always been bold: a global, permissionless, censorship-resistant computing platform. Today, that promise is more alive than ever. Ethereum has scaled through rollups, where blockspace is abundant and transactions are cheap. The challenge now is not just throughput, but seamless user experience across that multichain horizon. What if all the L2s felt…
Ethereum’s All Core Developer calls are a lot to keep up with, so this “Checkpoint” series aims for high-level updates roughly every 4-8 weeks, depending on what’s happening in core development. See the previous update here. If you enjoy reading core development updates, you may also be keen to learn that Forkcast now publishes call summaries, chats and transcripts for each All Core Dev (ACD) call and some breakout calls, usually available within a couple hours of the call. tl;dr: The Fusaka upgrade shipped alongside the ability to adjust blob parameters independently from fork cycles. The next upgrade, Glamsterdam, is…
Swap wETH to Mantle’s mETH from major chains in under 60 seconds. No traditional bridges, slippage, or complex onboarding steps required. Netting + rebalancing cuts liquidity fragmentation and operational costs. The blockchain industry’s liquidity fragmentation problem has a new solution. Everclear, the interoperability protocol formerly known as Connext, has launched cross-chain asset settlement on Mantle Network. The partnership will allow users to convert wrapped Ethereum (wETH) from major chains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, and Polygon directly into Mantle’s mETH token in under 60 seconds. The integration bypasses traditional bridging entirely, marking a significant infrastructure breakthrough for decentralized finance adoption. The…
It’s been a fairly busy for the last couple of months for the Ethereum javascripters. To start with, there was a really great hackathon with IPFS. You can read Dan Finlay’s excellent write up here. Also, during this time Aaron Davis (Kumavis) made some excellent progress towards a JS light client by utilizing IPFS’s libp2p to build a in-browser mesh network and IPLD to provide the merklization layer. This will be important work in the future for building pure in-browser clients. Also Casey Detrio worked on a standard json RPC test suite, which you can see the results of here. After the Seattle Meetup,…
The last one and a half months have seen great progress for Ethereum research, and we are excited that the protocol is moving closer and closer to the point where it is ready for mainstream adoption. Progress on consensus algorithms, privacy, zero knowledge proofs and formal verification is happening at… Source link
Funds were split between two wallets holding $3.3 million and $880,000. The exploit involved MEV-linked addresses and preemptive transaction timing. MakinaFi has not released a technical statement or mitigation plan. A major crypto breach has struck MakinaFi, draining millions in Ethereum from the decentralised finance platform. The incident resulted in the loss of 1,299 ETH, valued at roughly $4.13 million at the time of the attack. PeckShieldAlert flagged the theft on X, where it traced the movement of the stolen assets across Ethereum wallets. The breach quickly gained traction online as blockchain analysts and on-chain trackers pieced together the flow…

Cramming in a lot more goodies than originally anticipated, the Go Ethereum team is proud to finally deliver the first incarnation of the 1.6 Geth release series! Glimpsing through the commit list, this is going to be a monster post! Toml configuration files For a very long time now, people were requesting that we support configuration files to aid in switching between different public and pirate chains. We didn’t focus much on private networks, so we’ve always pointed people towards using shell scripts in those cases. Although they are suitable for many scenarios, shell scripts aren’t portable across different operating…
