After the successful implementation last week, Ethereum’s greatest update in more than a year, the main developers of the network are already changing the next update of the main chain: Fusaka.
Pin, the greatest change of code to Ethereum since the merger in 2022, introduced the key changes destined to facilitate institutions, improve wallet accessibility and increase transaction efficiency.
The developers have already begun to plan Fusaka, the next network update, and so far they have agreed to include a proposal to improve Ethereum (EIP) called “peerdas” that could help the network admit “Blobs” larger of the transaction data.
The Blobs, introduced during the Dencun update, are dedicated spaces for large fragments of transactions related to transactions. They are stored outside the chain, which reduces congestion in the Ethereum block chain and reduces gas rates. Blobs are crucial for the growth ecosystem 2 of growth built on Ethereum, such as the referee, optimism and coinbase base, which processes the most quickly already lower transactions than the main chain.
Peerdas, which means sampling of pairs data, would allow validators to download BLOBS partial data instead of complete Blobs to validate whether the data has been published on the network.
In theory, Peerdas could reduce the transaction costs of layer 2 and benefit benefit institutions that operate validators in the Ethereum block chain.
“Peerdas is very important since we want to help the CAPA-2 scale,” said Parithhosh Jayanti, a Devops engineer from the Ethereum Foundation, for Condeesk on Telegram. “Peerdas allows us to increase the BLOB limit significantly.”
Fusaka is scheduled to go live at the end of 2025 and will eventually include an additional update package beyond peerdas. However, Ethereum developers are known for delaying their updates.
Pin initially established for release at the end of 2024, but was postponed until the first quarter of 2025. After some defective tests, developers further delayed the update to May.
Ethereum developers have been criticized during the past year for not implementing changes in the protocol quick enough. As the network price of the network has been delayed in recent months and developers have migrated to competitors, the chain community has debated whether its unofficial leader, the non -profit Ethereum Foundation is guilty.
