Ethereum\u2019s next major network upgrade, Fusaka<\/a>, could reshape how users experience the blockchain by lowering costs and boosting efficiency, according to asset manager VanEck.<\/p>\n

In its September crypto market recap<\/a>, VanEck\u2019s research team said Fusaka, expected to go live in December<\/a>, is designed to tackle one of Ethereum\u2019s biggest hurdles: data availability for rollups, the scaling solutions that bundle many transactions together before settling them on Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Why Fusaka matters<\/h3>\n

The centerpiece of the upgrade is a technique called Peer Data Availability Sampling<\/a> (PeerDAS). Instead of requiring every Ethereum validator to download all transaction data, PeerDAS allows them to verify blocks by sampling smaller pieces. <\/p>\n

VanEck explained that this reduces bandwidth and storage demands, making it possible to safely raise Ethereum\u2019s \u201cblob\u201d capacity \u2014 the data slots used by rollups \u2014 without putting strain on the network.<\/p>\n

This matters because Ethereum developers have already doubled blob limits once this year, and demand continues to rise. <\/p>\n

Coinbase\u2019s Base and Worldcoin\u2019s World Chain now account for about 60% of all rollup data submitted, VanEck noted, showing how central L2s have become to the network\u2019s growth. By expanding capacity further, Fusaka is expected to cut costs for rollups, which should translate into cheaper transactions for end users.<\/p>\n

Implications for ETH<\/h3>\n

VanEck argued that the upgrade underscores Ethereum\u2019s shift away from being driven by base layer fees. <\/p>\n

As more activity moves to rollups, mainnet fee revenue has declined, but the firm stressed this does not diminish ETH\u2019s importance. Instead, Ethereum\u2019s security role in settling rollup transactions increases, reinforcing ETH\u2019s position as a monetary asset rather than just a fee-yielding one.<\/p>\n

VanEck analysts also warned that unstaked ETH holders face dilution risk as institutional actors \u2014 from exchange-traded products to crypto treasury firms \u2014 continue accumulating ETH positions to stake for yield. <\/p>\n

In that context, they believe, Fusaka strengthens Ethereum\u2019s appeal by lowering L2 costs and reinforcing its centrality in a scaling ecosystem that is expected to attract more institutional adoption.<\/p>\n

VanEck concluded that while technical challenges remain, Fusaka marks a pivotal step in Ethereum\u2019s rollup-centric roadmap, with \u201csignificant implications\u201d for both users and long-term holders.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
