In the first week after the Ethereum Fusaka upgrade went live, several key metrics are worth noting.
The number of block blobs has remained stable at 6. According to the roadmap, this will be gradually increased to 14 by January 7 next year, so the scaling progress is proceeding as planned. With the implementation of PeerDAS technology, node storage pressure has been reduced by 80%, and the gas limit per transaction is locked at 16,777,216, effectively closing the door to DoS attacks.
More importantly, the EIP-7918 base fee mechanism has started to take effect—previously, blob fees once dropped to an awkward 1 wei, but now they are gradually aligning with L2 execution costs. Starting from December, we can see the ETH deflation logic being restored, which means the underlying architecture is solid for large-scale ecosystem expansion in the future.
The implementation of technical indicators is just the first step; the real test lies in whether the Layer 2 ecosystem can take advantage of this wave of scaling benefits.

Finally no need to worry about Blob costs dropping to the absurd level of 1 wei. This upgrade has some real substance.
Wait, can Layer2 really handle the load? I'm a bit concerned.
PeerDAS reduces storage pressure by 80%. Node operators can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Scaling up steadily is good, but I'm just worried they might cause more problems down the line.
Only when the deflation logic is fixed can we truly rest easy; otherwise, it's all just theoretical talk.

Blob stable at 6? Feels a bit conservative, just waiting for the January update.
PeerDAS cutting 80% storage pressure is really impressive, but the key is whether the L2 ecosystem can actually be used.
The previous 1 wei Blob fee was really insane, now it's finally back to normal.

Buying the dip on this round of Blob scaling feels really solid. Now just waiting on the L2 ecosystem not to drop the ball.

just like mile 20 in a marathon, fusaka's first week results are exactly what we needed to see. blob stabilization + that 80% storage reduction? ecosystem fundamentals getting real solid here.

It’s stable for now, but I’m worried the L2 ecosystem will come up with new tricks, and then the scaling dividends will just get siphoned off by certain projects.

Taking charge of the Blob scaling this time, finally no more worries about being annoyed by DoS attacks.

To be honest, the part where Blob fees dropped to 1 wei really cracked me up. Now it finally makes a bit more sense.

Blobs are stable at 6, aiming for 14 next year... Let's take it slow, there's no use rushing. The key is that PeerDAS cuts storage pressure by 80%—that's real progress.
EIP-7918 finally came to the rescue. Before, blob fees dropped to 1 wei, which was honestly hilarious, but now at least they're linked to L2 costs. The ETH deflation logic is fixed, so the underlying layer is looking solid.
But to be honest, no matter how good the tech is, it still needs L2 ecosystem support, otherwise it's pointless.
