Ethereum’s scheduled Fusaka upgrade, due to come out in November 2025, may not happen on schedule. According to Tomasz Stańczak, the co-executive director at the Ethereum Foundation, coordination issues between teams might lead to a delay.
The Fusaka upgrade is designed to speed up Ethereum and make it more scalable. It is intended to process transactions more efficiently and lay the groundwork for future upgrades. But before the upgrade gets underway, developers, client teams, and infrastructure providers must all be ready, and currently, that’s not happening.
The Fusaka hard fork was initially planned within the “Glamsterdam,” an upgrade penciled in for early 2026, but now it seems that the developers are in other plans.
Stańczak said that the postponement would be unfortunate but would probably prevent greater issues down the line. Hurrying the process would create bugs or technical problems that could damage the network’s integrity.
Ethereum Community Stays Divided
The Ethereum community is divided on the Fusaka upgrade discussion. Some believe in waiting until there is a seamless launch, while others fear not meeting the November deadline. Up to now, no new release date has been announced.
If it works, Fusaka would be a giant leap forward for Ethereum’s expansion. But for the moment, the priority is ensuring the upgrade is executed correctly, even if it means waiting a little longer.
“I know that some extremely talented people are now working on resolving the issues that caused teams to suggest moving the dates,” Stańczak emphasized. “I would love to see a broad agreement that the timelines matter a lot.”
