Ether (ETH), the native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, rose significantly today, on the eve of the implementation of a new update called Fusaka, which will arrive on the main network on December 3, rising by 13% in the past 24 hours.
As seen in the graph, Cryptoactive’s rise occurred from a price of $2,712 recorded yesterday, December 2nd, to trading at $3,099 on the day.
This update replaces Pectra, which was enabled in May 2025, and aims to integrate improvements to the Osaka execution layer and optimizations to the Fulu consensus layer.
Fusaka’s design focuses on making networks significantly faster, more efficient, and more accessible. To users across the decentralized application ecosystem.
Bartek Kiepuszewski, co-founder of the L2BEAT analytics platform, explained to CriptoNoticias last week that “the main brake on L2 (Layer 2) is data availability,” and said the Fusaka update “doubles its capacity” for Ethereum.
The core technical features of this update are: PeerDAS, one of the most important technology implementations to Ethereum. Kiepuszewski explains that by incorporating PeerDAS, they are trying to accomplish the following:trustless scalingThis allows nodes to verify up to 10 times more transactions using the same resources, a fundamental advance in network scalability and efficiency.
