Many people think Ethereum’s development history is simple, but this is what really matters:
The Pectra upgrade went live on May 7, 2025, and the Fusaka upgrade went live on December 3, 2025. Fusaka introduced PeerDAS data sampling.
Ethereum upgrades are generally hard forks: node operators need to upgrade their clients in advance, and the new rules take effect simultaneously at the agreed-upon block or epoch.
Around major upgrades, some platforms may suspend deposits and withdrawals, so leave some leeway when planning transfers.
$ETH has been Ethereum’s native coin for paying gas since the mainnet launched in 2015. Current price: 2064.61.
