Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade is set to introduce PeerDAS, aiming to reduce L2 and validator costs

BlockBeats News, May 12th, following the successful deployment of the Pectra upgrade, Ethereum core developers have shifted their focus to the next major upgrade named "Fusaka," planned to go live by the end of 2025.

It has been confirmed that the proposal involving PeerDAS will be included, aiming to reduce the operating costs of Layer 2 scaling solutions and validators. PeerDAS (Peer-to-Peer Data Availability Sampling) is a data availability sampling mechanism that allows nodes to validate the availability of data without downloading the full dataset, thereby improving network efficiency and reducing resource consumption. This mechanism is expected to further optimize Ethereum's scalability, enhance the network's scalability, and decentralization.

Reportedly, the specifics of the Fusaka upgrade are still under discussion, but developers have reached a consensus on the introduction of PeerDAS.
