Updated: Jan 08 2026- Successful Upgrade: The Ethereum network has successfully completed the BPO-2 stage of the Fusaka upgrade, significantly optimizing data handling capabilities and expected to lower fees for Layer 2 solutions, thereby enhancing user experience and network utilization.
- Data Space Expansion: The BPO-2 phase increases the target number of blobs per block from 24 to 68, directly alleviating data congestion issues and reducing operational costs for rollups, which enhances the network's scalability.
- User Benefits: This upgrade is set to significantly lower transaction fees for DeFi trades, NFT minting, and blockchain gaming, which is expected to attract more users and further solidify Ethereum's leadership in the decentralized application space.
- Strategic Implications: The Fusaka upgrade not only represents a technical enhancement for the Ethereum network but also demonstrates its ongoing evolution under community-driven governance, laying a foundation for sustainable future growth.
