ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum co-executive director Tomasz Kajetan Stańczak revealed that the Fusaka hard fork upgrade is planned to be implemented in the third or fourth quarter of 2025, with the exact timing yet to be finalized. Core developer Tim Beiko stated that the controversial EVM Object Format (EOF) upgrade has been removed from Fusaka due to technical uncertainties that may affect the upgrade schedule.The EOF was originally planned to comprehensively reform the way smart contracts are developed through 12 EIP proposals, including the introduction of the RJUMP instruction to replace the traditional JUMP and the adoption of structured bytecode containers as optimization solutions. Supporters believe this will enhance EVM efficiency, but opponents argue that it complicates the system excessively and requires synchronized updates to the development toolchain. A poll on the Ethereum voting platform ETHPulse shows that 39 addresses holding 17,745 ETH oppose the upgrade.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum core developers are considering raising the Gas limit to 150 million in the Fusaka hard fork, which is four times the current limit. This proposal has been put forward through EIP-9678, and developers believe it will significantly expand the execution capacity of Ethereum Layer 1.
