One of the most anticipated technological advancements of December is taking place on Ethereum. According to analysts, the network’s Fusaka upgrade will go live on December 3rd. This upgrade includes technical improvements that will increase Ethereum’s efficiency and ensure that network performance is back on the agenda by the end of the year.
Furthermore, the mainnet launch of MegaETH, a high-throughput Layer-1 (L1) project, will take place in early December. The project’s token launch is expected in the first quarter of 2026. MegaETH stands out among Ethereum-compatible chains with its high speed and low latency objectives.
VeChain is also undergoing a critical update. The network’s Hayabusa upgrade will be released on December 2nd. This update aims to increase the network’s decentralization and strengthen its tokenomics.
The analyst noted that this week isn’t limited to technical developments, highlighting a critical macro-level topic as well. Fed Chair Jerome Powell will deliver a keynote speech on December 2nd.
