- Ethereum’s decision alters Fusaka upgrade plans, affecting contract sizes.
- Current smart contract sizes remain unchanged.
- Consensus favors stability over rapid changes in Ethereum.

Ethereum developers opted to maintain current smart contract limits, preventing potential disruptions in functionality and costs.
The 216th Ethereum Execution Layer Core Developer Meeting witnessed the removal of EIP 7907 from the Fusaka upgrade. Tim Beiko confirmed that the smart contract code size limits remain unchanged, indicating a deferral to future upgrades. The decision impacts primarily Ethereum (ETH), as smart contract cost stability is ensured, retaining deployment conditions on the mainnet. No immediate market changes are expected as these adjustments are primarily technical.
Historical trends show Ethereum has postponed EIPs in upgrades when concerns arose about implementation readiness. Stable smart contract conditions reassured developers, with further discussions deferred to the Glamsterdam fork. Stakeholder decisions underscore Ethereum’s iterative, safety-first evolution strategy, supported by historical precedents of similar decisions delaying code changes without market disruption. The developer community maintains a cautious approach, ensuring Ethereum protocol’s evolving landscape aligns with stability and consensus-driven enhancements.
“The decision reflects Ethereum’s iterative, safety-first process in protocol evolution, with a focus on stability rather than rapid expansion of capabilities.” — Christine Kim, Ethereum Ecosystem Contributor
