Ethereum’s 2025 Fusaka Upgrade: Why Leaders Are Pushing for Focus Now Over Distant Roadmaps
Ethereum's core devs are sounding the alarm—stop dreaming about post-2025 fantasies and start shipping Fusaka. The network's next major upgrade isn't just another hard fork; it's a make-or-break moment for scalability as L2 solutions hit their limits.

With base layer fees creeping back toward 2021 levels, Fusaka's proto-danksharding can't land soon enough. Vitalik's crew knows the clock is ticking before users defect to 'good enough' alternatives—no matter how much purists sneer at SOL's validator centralization.
The Institutional Angle
Wall Street's blockchain tourists won't wait forever. BlackRock's tokenized fund on Ethereum was a win, but their patience wears thin watching crypto's 'legacy chain' struggle with grocery-store transaction volumes. Fusaka either delivers or becomes another 'Ethereum killer' gravestone.
Devs Drop the Hammer
