- Checkpoint #7 - Nov 2025
Ethereum’s core‑development cycle continues with the imminent Fusaka upgrade, slated for December 3 UTC. Testnet runs on all three major networks have finished with minimal, non‑consensus issues, and node operators are urged to update before the mainnet cut‑over. Meanwhile, Glamsterdam is in the final implementation phase; its major features are largely set, but minor features-including the anti‑censorship transaction (FOCIL)-remain undecided. Discussions on the upcoming Heka/Bogotá upgrade will begin early 2026, inviting proposals for large‑scale features. The Devconnect week may slow progress, though in‑person talks could accelerate decisions. Forkcast now publishes call summaries within hours of each All‑Core‑Devs meeting.
