Ethereum’s PeerDAS will be key to L2 scaling: Vitalik Buterin

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin explained how Fusaka’s PeerDAS feature will address Ethereum layer 2 scaling bottlenecks.

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin said the upcoming Fusaka upgrade will allow nodes to verify data availability without downloading complete blockchain data, improving scalability.

The upcoming upgrade, set for December, will help to solve current data availability constraints through a core feature called PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling), Buterin explained on Thursday.

“PeerDAS is trying to do something pretty unprecedented: have a live blockchain that does not require any single node to download the full data,” he said, describing it as “the key to L2 scaling, and eventually L1 scaling.”
