Ethereum's Fusaka upgrade is nearing deployment on the main blockchain after a successful test on the Holesky network.
Fusaka follows the recent Pectra upgrade and aims to reduce costs for institutional users of Ethereum.
The key feature, PeerDAS, allows validators to check partial data, reducing expenses for layer-2 networks and validators.
Holesky, launched in 2023 as a test environment for Ethereum, will be discontinued two weeks post-Fusaka launch due to aging and reliability issues.
Upcoming test runs are scheduled for October 14 and 28, after which the mainnet launch date for Fusaka will be confirmed.
Ethereum Foundation DevOps engineer Parithosh Jayanthi highlighted the successful test as a significant step towards implementing Fusaka on the mainnet.
