The Fusaka fork within the Ethereum ecosystem introduces a new update focused on optimizing virtual machine performance and block data management.
New Features of the Fusaka Fork
The Fusaka fork aims to enhance Ethereum without introducing significant new features. One of the major updates is raising the gas limit to 45 million, which theoretically could increase transaction throughput by more than 11%. This decision has been validated by all clients; however, it remains subject to precise benchmarks to avoid exceeding acceptable latency thresholds during block propagation.
Discussions and Criticism of Changes
Despite the main improvements, some developers express criticism about the omission of fixes for Solidity errors. Georgios Konstantopoulos, CTO of Paradigm, noted that ignoring issues like 'stack too deep' and bytecode limitations is a misstep. This view has been contested by other developers who point to internal debates within the ecosystem.
Prospects for Further Updates
The Fusaka fork could represent a strategic turning point for Ethereum, showcasing its ability to adapt and optimize its platform without disrupting consensus. Devnet-2 is expected to launch on June 19, with attention also focused on a potentially more ambitious Devnet-3 in the future.
The focus on technical sobriety and anticipated updates reflects Ethereum's efforts to create a sustainable and efficient platform for the future.
