Ethereum Fusaka hard fork expected to take place by the end of 2025

According to a report by Golden Finance, officials from the Ethereum Foundation have stated that the Ethereum Fusaka hard fork is expected to take place in the third or fourth quarter of 2025, but the specific release schedule has not yet been determined. Ethereum core developer Tim Beiko confirmed that "EOF has been removed from the Fusaka network upgrade" because the developers believe there is "technical uncertainty that may cause a delay in the launch of Fusaka". EOF originally planned to introduce a scalable and version controlled smart contract bytecode container format through a series of Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs), but was opposed due to complexity and the risk of causing more vulnerabilities.
