Checkpoint #3: June 2025

The latest update from Ethereum's core development highlights significant progress and upcoming plans. The Pectra upgrade was successfully deployed, introducing improvements such as staking quality-of-life upgrades, enhanced wallet UX, and increased blob capacity. Despite initial testnet issues, the upgrade proceeded smoothly, and the focus now shifts to the app layer to leverage these new features.

The next major upgrade, Fusaka, is underway with a primary focus on integrating PeerDAS, a key scaling solution. Testing for Fusaka is ongoing, with developers optimistic about a 2025 release.

Looking ahead, proposals for the Glamsterdam upgrade, slated for around 2026, are being solicited until June 20th. Potential headlining features for Glamsterdam include ePBS and FOCIL, with discussions ongoing. The timeline for Glamsterdam includes phases for headliner proposals, discussions, and finalization of non-headliner EIPs.
