Fusaka – a blend of the names Fulu + Osaka – consists of two upgrades happening on Ethereum’s consensus and execution layers at the same time.

The goal of the upgrade is to enable Ethereum to handle the large transaction throughput from the layer-2 chains that use the blockchain as their base layer. Fusaka consists of 12 code changes, also known as “Ethereum Improvement Proposals” (EIPs) that will make the layer-2 experience faster and cheaper.

The biggest change in Fusaka is known as PeerDAS, which allows validators to check only segments of data instead of full “blobs,” easing bandwidth demands and lowering expenses for both validators and layer-2 networks. Layer 2s currently submit thousands of transactions to Ethereum via “blobs,” where validators currently on the Ethereum blockchain have to download all of the transaction data from the blob to verify it is accurate, creating bottlenecks. With this improvement, those validators will only need to verify a fraction of a blob, speeding up the process and lowering the transaction fees that come with it.

Fusaka doesn’t only improve the layer-2 experience, but has improvements that also affect Ethereum itself, though they are much more minor. Changes include the maximum size of a single transaction, aimed to enhance security, as well as some new code aimed at making smart contracts more efficient.

Institutions are also increasingly paying attention to this upgrade. Earlier this month, Fidelity Digital Assets released a report saying that Fusaka is a decisive shift toward a more strategically aligned and economically coherent roadmap.

China’s mineral moves shake global tech and defense

The post China’s mineral moves shake global tech and defense appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. China’s overseas sales of rare-earth products hit a record in August, just days before an expected phone call between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump that could touch on the sensitive materials at the heart of high-tech manufacturing and defense. Shipments of rare-earth products, including high-performance magnets used in consumer electronics and fighter aircraft reached 7,338 tons last month, according to Bloomberg calculations based on government data. It marks the highest monthly level since early 2012 in the available records. The surge follows a steep drop earlier this year after Beijing curbed some rare-earth exports amid a growing trade dispute with the US. A pause in tensions followed. Following talks in Madrid this week, President Trump said he intends to hold a phone call with President Xi on Friday. Beijing’s rare earth rules tightened in April, cutting trade. Cryptopolitan earlier reported when China set export controls in response to higher U.S. tariffs and limits on technology transfer by Western nations. China supplies over 70% of rare earths and handles about 90% of processing. The Ministry of Commerce said the measures protect national security. New licenses slowed approvals, slashing shipments in April and May. The delays disrupted supply chains and forced auto makers outside Beijing to pause output for shortages. In July, the European Parliament urged the EU to bolster key strengths and warned China’s licensing rules seek sensitive data. Germanium demand overwhelms supply chains Pressure is also building in another corner of the strategic metals market. Chinese limits on exports of germanium, a metal vital for military thermal-imaging systems found in fighter jets and other equipment, have created a sharp supply squeeze and driven prices to their highest level in at least 14 years, traders say. Beijing announced in 2023 that it would halt exports of germanium, gallium and antimony after the…
