$ETH Ethereum really pulled off something big this time—the upgrade pace just doubled, and the price surged to 3200 as well.

Last night, Ethereum mainnet completed its 17th major upgrade, "Fusaka," only 7 months after the Pectra upgrade in May. You should know, ever since the Merge in 2022, Ethereum has basically kept a steady rhythm of one upgrade per year—from Shapella in 2023 to Pectra this year. But this time, Consensys officially announced: going forward, two upgrades per year will become the norm, and the development iteration speed has clearly ramped up.

The scale of Fusaka is indeed impressive, packing 9 core EIPs and 4 supplementary proposals all at once—making it one of the most heavyweight upgrades ever. The newly introduced PeerDAS technology takes data availability and pricing efficiency to a whole new level, greatly enhancing network scalability and smoothing out the user experience. With such hardcore technical improvements, it’s no wonder the price is reacting, currently steady around $3200.

Switching from annual to semiannual upgrades reflects Ethereum’s determination to accelerate performance optimization and security enhancements. If this pace holds, the Layer 2 ecosystem and various decentralized applications can expect a new wave of explosive growth. With the price stuck at this level, do you think it will continue to break out, or will it consolidate after this bullish news?
