By combining the Prague execution layer upgrade with the Osaka consensus layer update, Fusaka delivers meaningful enhancements that directly benefit institutional stakers.</p><p>At P2P.org, we've built our reputation on zero slashing incidents across 40+ networks and 99.9% uptime. As Ethereum continues its evolution, we're ensuring our infrastructure and clients are positioned to capture every advantage.</p><p>Below is a straightforward breakdown of what’s changing and how it reshapes the environment that P2P.org operates in.</p><h2 id="what-fusaka-delivers"><strong>What Fusaka Delivers</strong></h2><h3 id="validator-consolidation"><br><strong>Validator Consolidation</strong></h3><p>The central change in Fusaka is PeerDAS (EIP-7594), which raises the maximum effective balance for validators from 32 ETH to 2048 ETH. For institutional clients managing substantial ETH positions, this is transformative.</p><p>Instead of operating hundreds of individual validators — each requiring separate management and incurring distinct costs — institutions can consolidate operations significantly. A treasury holding 10,000 ETH that previously required 313 validators can now manage the same position with just 5.</p><p>The operational efficiency gains are substantial. Fewer validators mean reduced attestation overhead, lower bandwidth requirements, and streamlined validator management. For institutions running validators through P2P.org's infrastructure, this translates to improved cost efficiency while maintaining the same security guarantees.</p><h3 id="increased-network-capacity"><strong>Increased Network Capacity</strong></h3><p>Fusaka raises Ethereum's default gas limit to 60M, increasing network throughput and improving transaction processing capacity. For institutional clients executing complex DeFi strategies or managing treasury operations, this means more reliable transaction execution during periods of high network activity.</p><h3 id="more-predictable-blob-fees"><strong>More Predictable Blob Fees</strong></h3><p>The upgrade improves the blob fee market mechanism, making Layer 2 data costs more predictable and stable. For institutions utilizing L2 solutions or managing cross-layer strategies, this creates better cost visibility and planning capabilities.</p><h3 id="enhanced-protocol-stability"><strong>Enhanced Protocol Stability</strong></h3><p>Fusaka includes critical stability fixes across the protocol, strengthening Ethereum's infrastructure foundation. These improvements reduce edge-case vulnerabilities and enhance the reliability institutional clients require.</p><p>The operational efficiency gains are substantial. Fewer validators mean reduced attestation overhead, lower bandwidth requirements, and streamlined validator management. For institutions running validators through P2P.org's infrastructure, this translates to improved cost efficiency while maintaining the same security guarantees.</p><h2 id="better-economics-simpler-operations"><strong>Better Economics, Simpler Operations</strong></h2><p>Fusaka's validator consolidation creates immediate benefits for institutional staking strategies:</p><p><strong>Reduced Operational Complexity</strong>: Institutions managing large ETH positions through P2P.org will see dramatic simplification in validator operations, reporting, and compliance tracking.</p><p><strong>Improved Capital Efficiency</strong>: With higher maximum balances, institutional clients can optimize their staking infrastructure costs while maintaining or improving their rewards.</p><p><strong>Enhanced Network Reliability</strong>: The gas limit increase and protocol stability fixes ensure institutional transactions process smoothly, even during peak network usage.</p><p><strong>Better Cost Predictability</strong>: More stable blob fees improve planning for institutions utilizing Layer 2 solutions alongside their staking operations.</p><p><strong>Enhanced Flexibility</strong>: The upgrade enables more sophisticated staking strategies, particularly for treasuries and asset managers who need precise control over large positions.</p><p><strong>Lower Exit Times</strong>: Consolidating validators means fewer individual exits to process, improving liquidity management for institutional clients.</p><h2 id="p2porgs-ethereum-commitment"><strong>P2P.org's Ethereum Commitment</strong></h2><p>Ethereum has been central to P2P.org's mission since our founding. We've secured billions in ETH for institutional clients with zero slashing incidents — a track record that becomes even more valuable as validator stakes increase.</p><p>As Fusaka rolls out, P2P.org's infrastructure is already prepared. Our institutional clients will benefit from:</p><ul><li><strong>Seamless migration</strong> support for validator consolidation</li><li><strong>Zero downtime</strong> during the upgrade transition</li><li><strong>Optimized validator configurations</strong> that maximize Fusaka's benefits</li><li><strong>Continued SOC 2 Type II compliance</strong> throughout the upgrade process</li></ul><p>Our technical team is working directly with Ethereum client developers and has thoroughly tested Fusaka functionality across our infrastructure. When the upgrade activates, P2P.org clients will be positioned to immediately capture the operational and economic advantages.</p><h2 id="looking-ahead"><strong>Looking Ahead</strong></h2><p>Fusaka represents Ethereum's continued commitment to institutional-grade infrastructure. The upgrade demonstrates that Ethereum is building for the long term — prioritizing validator efficiency, network scalability, and institutional needs.</p><p>For P2P.org, this aligns perfectly with our mission: providing institutional clients with the most secure, efficient, and reliable staking infrastructure in the market. As Ethereum evolves, so do we — ensuring our clients maintain their competitive advantage</p><p>Want to learn more about how Fusaka will impact your staking strategy?</p><div class="kg-card kg-button-card kg-align-center"><a href="https://link.p2p.org/bdteam?ref=p2p.org" class="kg-btn kg-btn-accent">Contact our institutional team</a></div>
