Fusaka is the codename for Ethereum's next hard fork, a significant network-wide update. It combines two major upgrades: Fulu (for the Consensus Layer) and Osaka (for the Execution Layer). This upgrade follows the Pectra hard fork and is a crucial step in Ethereum's roadmap to enhance scalability, state management, and developer experience. Scheduled for late 2025, Fusaka is a key component of the "Surge" phase, designed to help Ethereum achieve its goal of processing over 100,000 transactions per second (TPS) on Layer 2 networks. It is a complex set of improvements aimed at making the network more efficient and decentralized.
