+
+### Gas limit increase
+
+* [Blockers](https://github.com/NethermindEth/eth-perf-research/blob/main/README.md#60-mgas) are being worked through to increase the gas limit to 60M (up from 45M).
+
+### [Fusaka upgrade](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/fusaka) (target Q4 2025)
+
+* Headliner: L2 scaling via [EIP7594 PeerDAS](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/fusaka#eip-7594) and [EIP7892 Blob parameter only upgrades](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/fusaka#eip-7892).
+* Upgrade timeline: mainnet will potentially be in early December (if testing goes well) but the timeline is tight.  Holešky testnet will be upgraded first, followed by Sepolia and finally Hoodi.  
+* The current [upgrade process](https://github.com/ethereum/pm/blob/master/processes/protocol-upgrade.md) specifies 30 days between client releases being available & upgrading the first testnet and 30 days between upgrading the last testnet & mainnet.  Timing requirements are being checked with Layer 2s and infrastructure teams.

+* Fusaka-devnet-5 ([specs](https://notes.ethereum.org/@ethpandaops/fusaka-devnet-5)): short lived devnet planned for early September.  It will launch once syncing issues discovered during non-finality testing are fixed & retested and consensus layer client teams have [merged to trunk branches](https://github.com/ethpandaops/fusaka-devnets/blob/master/ansible/inventories/devnet-3/group_vars/all/images.yaml#L1-L9).
+* [Fusaka audit contest](https://x.com/sherlockdefi/status/1961019516512780624) with up to $2M in rewards starts September 15.
+
+### Holešky testnet
+
+* Holešky will be deprecated after upgrading to Fusaka.

+  * Execution layer: [EIP7928 Block-level Access Lists](https://forkcast.org/upgrade/glamsterdam#eip-7928).
