Ethereum (ETH) developers have officially set the long-awaited Fusaka update for December 3rd. The decision was made during the network's biweekly coordination meeting. The move marks the start of the countdown to Ethereum's second major hard fork in 2025. The most notable innovation in the Fusaka upgrade is a system called PeerDAS.
