The Fusaka upgrade, scheduled for November 2025 for the Ethereum network, may face delays due to coordination issues among development teams. This was reported by Tomasz Stańczak, co-executive director of the Ethereum Foundation.
Coordination Issues
The Fusaka upgrade is designed to speed up Ethereum and improve its scalability. It is intended to ensure more efficient transaction processing and to lay the groundwork for future upgrades. However, for this to happen, developers, client teams, and infrastructure providers must be ready, which is currently not the case.
Ethereum Community Response
The Ethereum community is divided on the Fusaka upgrade issue. Some participants emphasize the importance of waiting for a seamless launch, while others fear missing the November deadline. So far, no new release date has been announced.
Prospects of the Fusaka Upgrade
Stańczak mentioned that postponement would be unfortunate but likely prevent greater issues down the line. Rushing the process could create bugs or technical problems that may damage the network's integrity. "I know that some extremely talented people are now working on resolving the issues that caused teams to suggest moving the dates," Stańczak emphasized.
While the Fusaka upgrade may represent a significant leap forward for Ethereum’s expansion, the priority remains to execute the upgrade correctly, even if it means waiting a little longer.
