Fusaka follows this year’s Pectra upgrade, representing a major step forward in Ethereum’s scaling roadmap by introducing PeerDAS and key improvements that enhance blob throughput, L1 performance, and user experience.

tl;dr: Over the last couple of days, some L2s noticed that their deployments on Sepolia didn’t work properly anymore. This is due to EIP-7594 which changes the format for proofs. In anticipation of Fusaka, we urge all blob originators to update their software to create Cell Proofs instead of blob proofs. Background One underdiscussed aspect
