Ethereum Fusaka Upgrade Implemented: A Decade-Long Sharding Dream Becomes Reality, L2 Fees Plummet by 60%

2025-12-04 09:26:19

[Bitpush] Vitalik just published an article celebrating the successful Fusaka upgrade. With this upgrade, PeerDAS finally solves sharding and data availability sampling—honestly, this is something Ethereum has wanted to do since the very beginning.

Now, by expanding blob capacity, transaction volume on Layer 2 has achieved a secondary growth. Recent analysis shows that L2 fees can drop directly by 40%-60%, which is a significant reduction. However, Layer 1 still has bottlenecks; we’ll have to wait for ZK-EVM to truly mature, and then combine it with distributed block building and sharded mempools.

This upgrade is a milestone for blockchain scalability. From the introduction of sharding in 2015 until now, a key piece of the decade-long roadmap has finally been filled in. The focus for the next two years should be stabilizing PeerDAS, then gradually expanding L1 gas limits to truly boost overall throughput.

It’s finally done after ten years. This feeling is like holding my breath and then suddenly letting it out. I really didn’t expect L2 fees to drop so sharply.

Haha, it finally landed. Ten years of hard work all for this moment. --- L2 fees cut in half directly? Sure, I'll believe it when the gas in my wallet actually goes down. --- People have been hyping up PeerDAS for so long, finally today it's more than just a PPT. --- A 40-60% drop sounds great, but we still have to wait for L1. This pace is honestly a bit frustrating. --- The dream of sharding has finally seen the light after so many years. Vitalik's obsession is truly unmatched. --- Real scaling is still far off, don’t celebrate too early. ZK-EVM isn’t ready yet. --- Ten years, everyone. After ten years we finally made it to this moment. I’m so moved I could cry. --- The "secondary growth" in blob capacity sounds awesome, but the real question is whether users will actually feel the difference. --- Is Ethereum stable now? That's wishful thinking. We'll have to see if it can really hold steady in the future. --- Damn, it's finally here. The doomsayers from before must be feeling pretty embarrassed now.

It’s been ten years, finally got this done, not easy. L2 fees are slashed by more than half, now it finally looks decent. But L1 is still stuck there, when will it truly take off?

A ten-year dream has finally become reality, and a 60% reduction in costs is no small matter.
