Overview
- Stańczak issued an August 8 update calling for a temporary halt to Glamsterdam discussions in order to concentrate on the Fusaka upgrade.
- Fusaka is currently in its testnet phase but development bottlenecks have emerged, jeopardizing its integration timeline.
- The upgrade will deliver Peer Data Availability Sampling, adjustments to the transaction gas limit, and refinements to blob parameters through multiple EIPs.
- Glamsterdam remains slated for delivery before the third quarter of 2026 but has been de-emphasized in planning sessions.
- Ethereum Foundation leaders warn that meeting Fusaka’s deadline is crucial for preserving the network’s phased roadmap and competitive edge.
