The Fusaka upgrade successfully activated on the Hoodi testnet, marking the third and final testnet to complete the upgrade. The milestone sets the stage for Fusaka on Ethereum mainnet, currently scheduled to occur on December 3, 2025, at 21:49:11 UTC. The Fusaka upgrade introduces 12 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs) that improve scalability, performance, and UX.  The upgrade’s headline feature is PeerDAS (EIP-7594), a standard that brings higher blob throughput, significantly reducing L2 transaction costs and enhancing scalability. After Fusaka, two Blob Parameter Only (BPO) forks are scheduled to gradually and automatically raise blob limits. Fusaka-ready client releases for mainnet will be available from all client teams by November 3rd.

ZisK, a high-performance zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) stack designed for low-latency proof generation, reached a major milestone: real-time proving of Ethereum L1 blocks. The achievement comes with the release of ZisK v0.13, which enables continuous zk-proof generation with an average proof time of about 7.5 seconds, using a cluster of 24 NVIDIA RTX 5090 GPUs. ZisK leverages a distributed proof generation mechanism, where multiple workers cooperate as a unified system to construct each zk-proof. The system minimizes proof latency and maximizes throughput. ZisK is independently led by Jordi Baylina and remains fully open source under MIT/Apache-2.0 licences.

Ethereum Name Service (ENS), the leading protocol for converting complex blockchain addresses into human-readable names, introduced two new web apps: the ENS App and the ENS Explorer. The ENS App is a revamp of its domain register and manager. The ENS Explorer, built for developers, provides advanced ownership management, custom resolvers, data transparency, and detailed historical records. Both tools will launch alongside ENSv2, a major protocol upgrade that introduces a new registry, updated smart contracts, and the Namechain Layer 2 network focused on identity. Users can sign up for to participate in upcoming user testing during Devconnect in Buenos Aires.

Base announced plans to double the block gas limit on Base Chain from 75 to 150 Mgas/s by the end of 2025, as part of its broader scaling roadmap targeting 400–500 Mgas/s by early 2026. The L2 network is shifting focus from scaling the gas target to scaling the gas limit to safely increase capacity while maintaining sub-cent transaction fees. Base highlighted client execution speed as its main current bottleneck and has migrated from Geth to the Reth client. The network already achieved its first block sequenced by Reth.
