Ether (ETH) is up 13% in the last 24 hours.
The update hits the Ethereum mainnet today, December 3rd.
Ether (ETH), native cryptocurrency of the Ethereum network, has risen strongly, gaining a 13% increase in the last 24 hours, on the eve of the implementation of the new update called Fusaka, which will arrive on the main network today, December 3.
The rise of the cryptoactive occurs from a price of 2,712 dollars recorded yesterday, December 2, to trading at 3,099 dollars, during the current day, as can be seen in the graph.
This update is the successor to Pectra, activated in May 2025, and aims to merge the improvements of the Osaka execution layer with the optimizations of the Fulu consensus layer.
Fusaka’s design is focused on making the network significantly faster, more efficient and more accessible for users across the entire decentralized application ecosystem.
Bartek Kiepuszewski, co-founder of the L2BEAT analysis platform, explained to CriptoNoticias last week that the “main brake on L2 (layers 2) is the availability of data” and the Fusaka update “will multiply that capacity” of Ethereum.
The central technical feature of the update is the introduction of PeerDAS, one of the most significant technological implementations for Ethereum. Kiepuszewski explains that incorporating PeerDAS seeks to achieve the ‘trustless scaling‘, which would allow a node to verify up to ten times more transactions with the same resources, a fundamental advance for the scalability and efficiency of the network.
