The Ethereum network is set to undergo a significant upgrade with the introduction of the Fusaka upgrade, which aims to enhance the scalability of blob data. According to the results published in the material, this upgrade will implement three essential Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that promise to optimize the network's performance and resilience.
EIP-7594: Enhanced Data Storage for Nodes
The first proposal, EIP-7594, will enable nodes to store only a portion of the blob data, effectively increasing the overall capacity of the network. This change is expected to alleviate some of the storage burdens currently faced by nodes, allowing for more efficient data management.
EIP-7892: Streamlining Scalability
EIP-7892 addresses the issue of scalability by removing the necessity for hard forks to increase the number of blobs. This will streamline the process of scaling the network and make it more adaptable to future demands.
EIP-7918: Revising Blob Pricing Structure
Lastly, EIP-7918 will revise the pricing structure for blobs, ensuring that costs are more realistic and manageable for users. Together, these enhancements are anticipated to bolster the infrastructure of Ethereum nodes and improve their resilience against potential Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.
In a related development, Kaspa has recently announced the upcoming DAGKnight upgrade, which aims to enhance its blockchain capabilities. This upgrade promises to improve speed, security, and scalability, offering a contrast to Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade. For more details, see DAGKnight upgrade.
