Sasha why NOT

Hey! I get that the market is all red right now and the mood isn't the most cheerful. But while many are sighing, something important happened behind the scenes. I'm talking about Chainlink (LINK).
This week saw an event that might be underappreciated: Grayscale launched GLNK—the first US exchange-traded product entirely focused on Chainlink. And this isn't just a formality.
Instead of a quiet start typical for niche products, GLNK blew expectations out of the water. On just the first day, the fund attracted $41 million, and by the end of the day, its assets grew to $64 million. Analysts like James Seyffart from Bloomberg call these numbers anomalous for a debut, especially considering the overall bearish trend in the crypto market.
Why is this important? Let's break it down:
Strength Despite Weakness. The new product launched with a record at a time when prices are falling and investors are nervous. This is a powerful signal: demand for structured access to Web3 infrastructure (which Chainlink is) exists, and it is not dependent on the momentary price of Bitcoin or Ethereum. Investors are deliberately buying not just "crypto," but a key technology.Not Your Typical ETF. GLNK trades on NYSE Arca, but it's not a classic stock ETF (under the 40-Act). It's a product that directly holds LINK tokens. That means it offers a more direct exposure to Chainlink's assets, albeit with different risks. Institutions can now easily invest in the "guts" of blockchain ecosystems—the oracles and tokenization infrastructure.A Shift in Narrative. The market is beginning to understand that crypto investments aren't just about "digital gold" ($BTC ) or "world computers" ($ETH ). They're also about the infrastructure layers that make all this magic possible. Chainlink, by supplying real-world data to smart contracts, is such a foundation. And now you can bet on that foundation through regulated exchanges.The Domino Effect. Notice a trend? Grayscale's GLNK isn't the only sign. Last month, Bitwise registered its own Chainlink product (CLNK) with the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), which is preparation for a potential launch. Institutional rails are being laid in several places at once.
In a nutshell: The success of GLNK isn't about speculating on the price of LINK. It's a dollar vote for a future where blockchains need reliable external data. It's recognition that value in the crypto space is created not only on the first layer (L1), but also in critical "middleware" layers like oracles.
Food for thought: Do you think the success of infrastructure products like GLNK is a temporary cautionary move by investors during uncertainty, or the start of a long-term trend of investing in the "building blocks" of Web3, rather than just the end products?

Hey! Imagine this: you lost your phone or it got stolen. You think, "Scary, but not critical. I have a PIN, Face ID, and I didn’t save my MetaMask seed phrase anywhere." It seems like your accounts are safe.
Well, not quite. Researchers from Ledger have just proven that physical access to your Android smartphone = access to all your hot wallets on it. This isn’t about hacking software—it’s a direct hardware-level attack on the phone’s processor itself.
What did they do?
They took a popular MediaTek chip (found in many mid-range smartphones) and used electromagnetic pulses to "break" it at the most fundamental level—during boot-up. It’s like not picking the lock but remotely reprogramming it to open on command.
The technical gist (in short):
A special device directs electromagnetic pulses into the chip.This triggers a glitch in the most protected part—the boot ROM.Using this glitch, attackers can gain full control over the processor (the highest privilege level, EL3).That’s it. After that, they can easily extract private keys from any installed wallet (Trust Wallet, MetaMask, etc.).
The whole process takes a few minutes, and the success rate, according to their data, is up to 1%. For an attacker who has your device, that’s more than enough.
Why does this matter for you and me?
Phones get stolen and lost. This isn’t some mythical internet threat—it’s an everyday reality.Hot wallets on phones are at risk. Ledger clearly states that their hardware wallets (and similar devices) are unaffected because they have a secure chip designed specifically to counter such attacks.The chipmaker (MediaTek) essentially confirmed: this chip was made for mass-market consumers, not for storing critically important data. Financial operations require specialized protection.
The key takeaway from the researchers:
A modern smartphone is a convenient "wallet" for daily spending, but not a "safe" for long-term holdings.
Keeping significant amounts in hot wallets on your phone after this study is a huge risk.
Question for you: How do you distribute your assets between hot and hardware wallets after news like this? Do you trust your smartphone to store significant sums?

Ethereum is on the brink of a new evolutionary phase. Co-founder Vitalik Buterin has just outlined his vision for the future of scaling, and it’s not simply about "increasing throughput." This is about a smart, targeted upgrade that could change the game for developers and users.
This strategic insight comes at a critical time: Ethereum is recovering from a recent correction, while institutional capital, drawn by real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, is flowing back into the ecosystem.
📈 What Buterin Proposes: "Targeted Growth" Over Uniform Scaling
In his post, Vitalik stated he expects "further growth, but more targeted/less uniform growth" from the network. In practice, this means not just raising the gas limit (which is already planned) but reshaping its economics.
The Core Idea: Increase the total gas limit per block (e.g., by 5x), but simultaneously make certain operations that create the heaviest load on the execution layer more expensive. Efficient operations stay cheap; resource-intensive ones become costlier.
What Could Become More Expensive?
SSTORE operations: Especially when creating new storage slots in a contract.Complex computations: Certain arithmetic opcodes.Calls to "bloated" contracts: With large code size.Some precompiles (excluding essential elliptic curve functions).
This incentivizes developers to write optimized smart contracts, making the network as a whole more efficient and spam-resistant.
🔍 Context: Why This Matters Now
Gas demand is high. The block gas limit has already doubled from 30 million to 60 million in the past year, and the community is discussing further increases.Tokenized assets are the new foundation. Stablecoins and RWAs have become a "value anchor" for Ethereum. Their sustainable growth requires a predictable and efficient network.The market is looking for catalysts. ETH, fueled by macro expectations and whale accumulation (+$22 million during the dip), has rebounded toward key levels. A decisive break above the $3800–$4200 zone could pave the way to $5000.
💡 What This Means for the Ecosystem
Buterin's approach marks a shift from extensive to intensive scaling. The network won't just get "faster"; it will get "smarter." This could:
Stimulate innovation in code optimization.Improve stability under high load.Enhance economics for stakers and validators through higher fee revenue, without overburdening nodes.
Food for thought:
Vitalik proposes making the network more efficient through "differentiated" pricing for operations. Do you think this will accelerate DeFi and RWA development, or could it create unnecessary barriers for new developers?

Hey everyone! It seems like traditional industry giants are increasingly embracing Web3. I just looked into the latest news about Sony – and this isn't just another NFT experiment, but a full-scale strategic shift. The company has announced plans to launch its own "tablet" (think: universal) Web3 network with a new internet interface. Sounds abstract? Let's break it down.
What`s Happening?
Sony Bank (the online bank within Sony Financial Group) is preparing to launch a stablecoin, likely pegged to the US dollar, by 2026. But the key point is that this stablecoin won't exist in a vacuum. It will become the core of a new ecosystem that connects:
Purchases on the PlayStation Store (games, subscriptions, content)Digital assets and NFTsPayments between users within the Sony networkPotentially, partner services
This payment tool will work alongside familiar methods (like cards), not as a replacement.
Why is Sony Doing This?
User Retention: About 30% of Sony Group's revenue already comes from its gaming division. A Web3 network will create a closed-loop economy, keeping users within the Sony ecosystem longer and increasing spending.Entry into New Financial Services: Sony Bank applied for a US banking license in October 2023 and partnered with Bastion (known for its work with a16z) to ensure the stability of its stablecoin. This is a direct move into the US digital payments market.Structural Changes: In September 2023, Sony Financial Group was spun off from Sony Group and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. This gave the bank more freedom for risky long-term projects – like this one.
The Technical Foundation: BlockBloom
In early 2023, Sony Bank announced the creation of a Web3 division called BlockBloom. Its goal is to link digital and physical experiences through NFTs, fiat, and digital currencies. The stablecoin is set to become a key payment instrument within this ecosystem.
What`s in it for Users?
Imagine this: you buy an in-game item in God of War, earn an NFT achievement for it, then sell it to another player for Sony's stablecoin, and immediately use those funds to pay for a Crunchyroll (Sony's anime service) subscription or a movie ticket for a new Sony Pictures film. All without conversions, hidden fees, or leaving your Sony account.
Why This Matters for the Crypto Industry
Legitimization: When corporations like Sony enter the space, it changes the stance of regulators and mass consumers.Mass Adoption: Sony has hundreds of millions of active PlayStation users, service subscribers, and device owners. For many, this will be their first experience using cryptocurrency (yes, a stablecoin is crypto too).Focus on Utility: Unlike many "NFT for the sake of it" projects, Sony is building a system with real utility from the start: payments, content, cross-platform functionality.
Unanswered Questions
Which blockchain will Sony choose? No info yet. Possibly a private fork or a partnership with an existing network.Will the stablecoin be available on external exchanges? Or will it remain an exclusively internal asset?How will regulators react? The US license application is already submitted – the process is underway.
And the Key Discussion Point:
Do you think Sony's success in building such an ecosystem will force other tech giants (Microsoft, Apple, Google) to accelerate their own Web3 strategies? Or, on the contrary, if the project fails, will it freeze the industry for several more years? And would you use a stablecoin from Sony if it offered real advantages in games and content?

Hey there! Look, ADA really surprised everyone today — the coin literally shot up 14%, breaking through the $0.45 level and hitting a new weekly high. While the broader market was up just ~7%, Cardano showed double the momentum, making it worth a closer look.
Here’s what’s happening under the hood:
1. Technical signals have shifted tone
The price didn't just jump — ADA confidently broke through key resistance at $0.44 and is holding above it.Trading volume surged by almost 50% — to $969 million. This isn't just a speculative spike, but a serious influx of attention.RSI (Relative Strength Index) is around 41 — meaning the coin has left oversold territory but is still far from overbought. There's room to grow.
2. December could heat up
Coincidence? I don't think so. Cardano has two major events coming up in the next few days:
December 5: Coinbase launches 24/7 trading for ADA.December 8: Midnight launches — a new privacy-focused blockchain built on Cardano, with its token distribution and listing starting.
Plus, the Cardano Foundation has already voted to increase ADA listings on other exchanges. All of this means more catalysts for interest and liquidity.
3. Targets and risks
The next major target is $0.55. But to get there, ADA needs to hold above $0.44 and maintain its current momentum. If volume doesn't dry up and the market doesn't tumble again, ADA has every chance to continue rising.
Still, competition can’t be ignored: Zcash (ZEC) is breathing down Cardano’s neck in terms of market cap ranking. To keep its spot in the top 10, ADA needs to show strength — not just in spikes, but in sustainability.
Discussion question:
What do you think — is this the start of a real reversal for Cardano, or just a local correction before new lows are tested? And can December’s news flow push ADA toward $0.60?

It seems like Chainlink's moment has arrived: Grayscale is preparing to launch the first spot ETF for LINK this very week, following SEC approval. This is a historic step, opening up access to the leading oracle project for institutional investors. Logically, we can expect hype, increased liquidity, and a price surge. However, the data paints an alarming picture that could negate all these optimistic expectations.
Why isn't the ETF a cure-all right now?
Network activity is declining. The Total Value Secured (TVS) in Chainlink protocols has fallen from $103 billion to $80.5 billion in just three months. This signals a reduction in oracle usage within DeFi—a fundamental metric that an ETF cannot directly fix.Historical statistics are against LINK. Since 2017, LINK has closed December in the red more than 60% of the time. Only three Decembers have been green in its entire history. Even more tellingly: when November closed in the red (as it did this year), the following month almost always followed suit. The trend since September has been downward.Price is already breaking trends. LINK recently crashed by 10%, broke through an ascending trendline, and according to analysts like Ali Charts, could be testing the lower boundary of an ascending channel that has been in place since July 2024. There are forecasts of a drop towards $8 in December.
ETF vs. Reality: Which Will Prevail?
The ETF launch is undoubtedly positive news for long-term recognition and institutional inflow. However, in the short term, the market could face a classic "sell the news" scenario against the backdrop of:
overall crypto market weakness,declining on-chain activity,negative seasonal statistics.
The liquidity inflow from the ETF may cushion the fall, but it is unlikely to instantly reverse into a powerful bullish trend if the network's fundamental metrics remain under pressure.
Key Question for Discussion:
Do you believe the launch of the Chainlink ETF will be a turning point that ignores seasonal trends and on-chain statistics, or are the bearish factors too strong, and will December indeed turn out red for LINK despite the institutional breakthrough?

Hey everyone, Let's break down a recent bold prediction from Arthur Hayes, the co-founder of BitMEX. His message is stark: he believes the vast majority of those trendy Layer 1 (L1) blockchains (besides Ethereum and Solana) are headed for a collapse.
Let's dive into why he thinks this and what it means for our portfolios.
So, What's Hayes' Main Argument?
Hayes argues that the market is flooded with new networks that have loud launches but little substance beyond hype. Their valuations are inflated, and their fundamentals—real users, sustainable applications—are weak.
Here are his key points:
Hype ≠ Success. There's initial excitement about "the next Ethereum," the price pumps, and then, when the noise dies down, the crash begins. It's the classic "pump and dump."Inflated Valuations. Many projects debut with a huge market cap from day one, backed by little more than an idea and big-name venture capital.VC Backing Isn't a Safety Net. Sure, support from funds like Coinbase Ventures helps a project get started, but it doesn't guarantee long-term survival. Those investors can easily take profits and exit, crashing the price.
A Case Study: Monad in the Crosshairs
Hayes specifically called out Monad. Its token pumped 45% post-ICO—sounds great, right? But its Fully Diluted Valuation (FDV) is already around $398 million with almost no real economic activity. Hayes sees this as a perfect candidate for a sharp correction. It's the typical pattern: a rapid rise on hype, followed by a painful crash.
So, Who Actually Survives? Hayes' List of Survivors
This is where it gets more interesting. Hayes isn't just a doomsayer; he's a realist and names the projects he believes will endure.
Ethereum (ETH): This is the foundation. Major banks and institutions are now choosing public networks like Ethereum over private ones for security and utility. With Layer 2 solutions (like Arbitrum and Optimism) solving scalability, Ethereum is positioned for sustained growth.Solana (SOL): It has firmly cemented itself as the #2 L1. Sure, the meme-coin frenzy has cooled, and it needs a new catalyst for growth, but its position is secure. Hayes doubts it will flip Ethereum but is confident it will remain a key player.
What to Hold? Arthur Hayes' "Magnificent Five"
Beyond the two L1 leaders, Hayes has a personal list of crypto picks that combine real utility, security, and adoption:
Bitcoin ($BTC )Ethereum ($ETH )Solana ($SOL )Zcash (ZEC) (focus on privacy)Ethena (ENA) (synthetic dollar)
He believes these projects have the unique use cases needed for long-term success.
What Does This Mean For Us?
Hayes' prediction isn't a death sentence for all alts, but a harsh reminder to be highly selective.
Do you agree with him? Are we headed for a massive "shake-out" of weak L1 projects?Are we missing opportunities by only focusing on the giants? Could there be a hidden "diamond" among the hundreds of new networks?Is your portfolio ready? Is it too exposed to risky altcoins that might not survive the next market winter?

Hey! You see what's happening in the market right now, right? All the charts are red, the news feed is pure negativity, and it feels like the only right move is to sell and run. That feeling is familiar, isn't it? Panic is contagious.
But here's the interesting part. Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, looks at this same situation and sees not a reason for fear, but a real opportunity. While most traders are panicking, he calmly reminds us of one simple but very powerful rule.
What's CZ's Main Point?
He says: markets always reward those who go against the crowd. Remember this axiom:
When everyone is euphoric and your taxi driver is advising you to buy Bitcoin—the asset is likely already at its peak.When everyone is gripped by pessimism and even the staunchest "holders" want to sell—that's when the most advantageous entry points begin to form.
CZ believes we are currently experiencing one of these emotional extremes. The price is just a number. The real story is unfolding in the minds of investors.
Proof? Look at the Fear Gauge
These aren't just words. There's a concrete indicator—the Crypto Fear & Greed Index.
Right now, it's around ~20. That's the "Extreme Fear" zone.Just a week ago, it hit 10! That's one of the lowest readings in recent years—near panic.For comparison: Back in November 2024, during the hype, the index was at 84 ("Greed").
Feel the contrast? Sentiment has crashed much harder than the price. This is exactly what CZ means: emotions have run far ahead and created a distortion.
What About the Price? A Bounce Isn't Enough for Confidence
Yes, Bitcoin has reclaimed some ground, rising from lows around $81,000 to current levels near $91,000. But! This hasn't fixed the mood. Caution still prevails, bordering on paranoia. Capital is only trickling back into altcoins; everyone is waiting for a trap.
And this, according to CZ, is the crux of the matter. The market is designed specifically to make you make the wrong decisions at the most critical moments: to sell at the bottom and buy at the top.
So, What's the Lesson?
CZ isn't giving trading advice or predicting where the price will go tomorrow. His message is deeper: fear is a piece of market data.
Ignoring it and succumbing to the herd mentality means missing opportunities. But understanding its nature and acting against it often proves to be a profitable strategy.
Right now, fear is everywhere. And that, paradoxically, might be the loudest signal to act.
What do you think? Do you agree there's more fear than there should be, or do you believe the downturn isn't over yet?

Hey, buddy, you know that China is strict with the crypt, right? But while everyone was monitoring the trade ban, the authorities made a new, much more important move. They declared a full-scale war on stablecoins.
It's not just about speculation or mining — this battle has already been won. Now the main front is payments.
Imagine this: Chinese regulators see that USDT and other stablecoins are not being used to bet on the growth of BTC, but for real things:
To transfer money across borders quickly and cheaply.To circumvent government capital controls.To maintain anonymity where the authorities want total transparency.
For Beijing, this is not just a violation of the rules — it is a direct threat to their financial sovereignty. Their main fear is not volatility, but the free movement of money, which they cannot control.
Anxiety has reached a peak
Here's what the scale of the panic really shows: the People's Bank of China held an emergency meeting with the participation of the courts, cyber police and special services. It was not a discussion, but an instruction. They were made clear that any use of cryptocurrencies as money (for payment or investment) is an illegal financial activity. Point.
The authorities admit that the 2021 clean-up worked, but now the crypto ecosystem is recovering "underground." And they intend to nip it in the bud with wallet monitoring and interagency investigations.
But here comes the fun part: hypocrisy?
This is a paradox that many people miss. While private stablecoins are being outlawed, state-owned companies like PetroChina are quietly testing them for international settlements! And Hong Kong, China's financial arm, is exploring how to launch its own yuan-pegged stablecoin.
It turns out that China's position is this: decentralized crypto assets that they cannot control are evil. But digital finance under government management is a bright future.
While China is building a wall, the United States is building an open area
And against the background of all this, there is a complete reversal in the United States. Trump openly declares his goal of making America the crypto capital of the world. The two superpowers are now moving in completely opposite directions, and this is shaping the future of the entire industry.
One camp is building a regulated but competitive market. The other one, with the same aggression, tries to prevent its formation at home.
So what is it really?
It's not just about "fighting fraud." This is a fundamental debate about the future of money. The battle between a decentralized, global financial system and a model of complete government control.
Which of these models do you think will be stronger in the end?

Hey, while everyone is discussing meme tokens and Bitcoin ETFs, something much more significant is happening with Ethereum. Something most people are completely missing. For the past 6 years, ETH's price has been forming a massive pattern on its chart—a 'bullish pennant.' This isn't just any pattern; it's potentially the longest consolidation in its history.
While retail traders were losing patience and switching to other assets, "smart money" has been quietly accumulating ETH all this time. They've been building an incredibly strong foundation for the next major move.
What is this pattern and why is it so important?
Imagine a triangle that is slowly narrowing. The top boundary is a descending resistance (lower highs), and the bottom is a rising support (higher lows). This structure, stretching back to 2019, is a classic 'bullish pennant.' And it's approaching its climax.
The Final Trap Before the Jump
The most interesting part happened recently. ETH briefly broke below this key support. Analyst Merlijn calls this a "massive fake-out." Why? It's the final shakeout that forces weak hands out of the market, making them sell their coins at low prices just before the real move begins. It's like pulling a bowstring back even further before the shot.
What happens if the breakout occurs?
Analysts studying this model believe we could witness not just growth, but a powerful, aggressive surge. When a spring that's been compressed for 6 years is released, the effect is impressive. In the event of a successful breakout, the next major targets lie in the $7,000 - $8,000 zone.
All the pieces are in place: the pattern is nearly complete, the final trap for inexperienced traders appears to have been sprung, and fundamental factors (network upgrades, institutional interest) only add to the potential.
So, what do you think? Is Ethereum finally ready to make that historic leap?

Hey! Big news from Cardano that could seriously speed up the entire ecosystem. Imagine the leading forces behind Cardano—the Foundation, Input Output Global, EMURGO, Intersect MBO and Midnight—assembling like the Avengers for one common goal. And this plan isn't an attack, but a massive funding push for what the network is missing to make a real breakthrough.
So, what's the deal? Cardano's governance has received a super-coordinated proposal for a "Critical Integration Budget." If the delegates (DReps) approve it, funding will be unlocked for the most needed things we've been waiting for:
Real Stablecoins (not the bridged ones, but native, first-class assets).Institutional-Grade Storage – for big money and serious players.Cross-Chain Bridges – to move assets easily.Oracles & Advanced Analytics – to make DeFi smarter and more reliable.
Essentially, this isn't just a wish list. It's a strategic strike on the main weak points. The team wants to build a long-term economic foundation for the entire network. The goal is to make Cardano more liquid, accessible, and connected to the real world.
This is one of the most collaborative moves in Cardano's governance history. All the major players in the ecosystem have united to push the network forward with focused, high-impact integrations.
So, here's a question for you: Which of these integrations—stablecoins, bridges, or oracles—do you think has the biggest potential to "blast" the value and adoption of ADA in the next year?

Hey! Are you following the market right now? The situation with XRP is getting too interesting to ignore. A few key factors are aligning, and it's starting to look like a potential perfect storm. Let me break down for you why everyone is suddenly watching XRP.
The Foundation: XRP is Going Institutional
So, the biggest news is the explosive growth of XRP ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds). Just think about it: five of these funds have launched in the US in a very short time! Following giants like Grayscale and Franklin Templeton, several more are on the way, including products from 21Shares and WisdomTree.
What does this mean in simple terms? XRP is no longer just a "trader's altcoin." It's becoming a legitimate financial product that big institutional money can invest in. The CEO of Ripple even called it a "pre-birthday success" for XRP. This is a powerful signal of confidence from the world of high finance.
The Driver: XRP is Drying Up on Exchanges
Now, check out the juiciest part. Data from CryptoQuant shows that the reserves of XRP on major exchanges, especially on Binance, are plummeting.
The numbers are staggering: since October, over 300 million XRP have been withdrawn from Binance alone. The total exchange reserves have dropped to 2.7 billion—one of the lowest levels ever recorded!
What does this tell us? When coins are massively moved off exchanges, it usually means one thing: investors aren't looking to sell. They're moving them to private wallets for long-term holding (aka HODLing). Fewer coins available for sale + growing demand = a classic recipe for a price increase.
The Technique: The Chart is Painting a Bullish Picture
And for the cherry on top—the technical analysis. The XRP chart is forming what's known as a "bull flag" pattern. This is a formation that typically signals the continuation of an uptrend after a brief pause. If it confirms, it could provide a powerful momentum boost.
The Bottom Line: What's the Takeaway?
We have a perfect storm brewing:
Institutional Demand: The ETF wave is making XRP accessible to big players.Exchange Supply Crunch: The available supply on trading platforms is shrinking, while long-term holders are accumulating.Technical Signal: The chart is showing potential for an upward move.
All of this creates more than just hype; it creates a potentially powerful launchpad for a significant move.
What do you think? Is XRP's star season finally here, or is this just a temporary pump? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Hey everyone! Big news for Ethereum is just around the corner. Next week, on December 3rd, the network is getting a significant upgrade called Fusaka. If you've ever complained about Ethereum's high fees during peak times, this is the step that's supposed to start changing that. Let's break it down in simple terms.
So, What Was the Big Problem?
Think of Ethereum as a delivery truck that carries data for all its L2 networks (like Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, etc.). Right now, this truck has a very small cargo bed—it can only carry 6 "packages" (technically called blobs) per trip.
When L2 networks need to send a lot of data, there isn't enough space for everyone. An auction starts: whoever pays the most gets their data shipped. We feel this through rising transaction fees. Scalability was hitting a wall because of this "small cargo bed."
How Does Fusaka and That Mysterious PeerDAS Fix This?
The Fusaka upgrade isn't about instantly making the cargo bed bigger. Instead, it's about installing a "smart cargo management system" called PeerDAS.
In simple terms: Before, every participant in the network (a node) had to store a full copy of all the "packages" to verify their integrity. This was secure but very bulky and inefficient.
PeerDAS changes the game. Now, nodes don't need to store everything. They can selectively check a few random pieces of each "package" and be 100% confident that the entire load is present and undamaged. It's like spot-checking a few items on a pallet instead of counting every single box.
This drastically reduces the load on the network and paves the way for a real increase in capacity.
What Does This Mean for Us, the Users?
Here's the exciting part that you will actually feel:
The Start: December 3rd (Fusaka). The PeerDAS mechanism goes live. The network learns to operate the new way, preparing for a heavier load.The First Big Leap: January 7th, 2025. A follow-up mini-upgrade will happen, increasing the number of "packages" (blobs) from 6 to 14. That's a capacity increase of more than 133%!The Future Roadmap. Further increases are planned for 2026, which could bring the total capacity boost to up to +200%.
What will this lead to?
Cheaper transactions on L2 networks. This is the main benefit for regular users of DeFi, games, and NFTs.Greater network stability. The network will be less prone to congestion during hype periods.An accelerated ecosystem. It will become easier and cheaper for developers to build awesome products on Ethereum.
Fusaka isn't a magic pill, but it's a confident start on the long road to a "turbo-charged Eth." It lays the foundation for future mega-updates that will finally solve the scalability problem.
What do you think? After these upgrades, will Ethereum solidify its crown as the ultimate DeFi hub, or will competitors like Solana and other new L1s still hold a significant market share?
