Ethereum Fusaka Hard Fork to Launch by the End of 2025

PANews reported on April 29 that according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum co-executive director Tomasz Kajetan Stańczak revealed on social platforms that the Fusaka hard fork upgrade is planned to be implemented in the third or fourth quarter of 2025, and the specific time has not been finalized. Core developer Tim Beiko announced on the same day that the controversial EVM object format (EOF) upgrade has been removed from Fusaka due to technical uncertainty that may affect the upgrade progress.

EOF originally planned to comprehensively reform the smart contract development method through 12 EIP proposals, including the introduction of RJUMP instructions to replace traditional JUMP and the adoption of structured bytecode containers and other optimization solutions. Supporters believe this will improve EVM efficiency, but opponents point out that it is overcomplicating the system and requires synchronous update of the development toolchain. A special poll on Ethereum voting platform ETHPulse shows that 39 addresses holding 17,745 ETHs opposed the upgrade.
