Overview
- The Hoodi testnet activation completed successfully on Oct. 28, capping a three‑stage dress rehearsal after Holesky and Sepolia.
- The Ethereum Foundation set a minimum 30‑day wait from the Hoodi run, making Nov. 28 the earliest possible window, with Dec. 3 discussed by core developers.
- PeerDAS allows validators to verify sampled segments of blob data instead of full blobs, easing bandwidth and storage requirements.
- Core developers say the changes could lift per‑block blob space by more than 400%, paving the way for cheaper, higher‑throughput rollups.
- Client teams and ecosystem contributors signaled readiness for Fusaka, while work proceeds on the follow‑on Glamsterdam fork that is expected to address proposer‑builder separation.
