Fusaka: Ethereum’s Grand Ballet of Blobs and Bandwidth 🎭

Ethereum Roadmap

Rollups, those workhorses of Ethereum’s transaction burden, groan under the weight of their own success. Constrained by data limits and costs, they cry out for relief.

Nasdaq International Securities Exchange (ISE) LLC, with a bold stroke, proposed to shatter the chains of the 250,000-contract ceiling, replacing it with a staggering 1,000,000 contracts. Why?
