Fusaka Upgrade: ETH as 'Digital Landlord'
The Fusaka upgrade means Layer 2s will now pay higher 'rent' to Ethereum L1, directly benefiting ETH holders, strengthening ETH's value accrual as L2 adoption grows.
The increased cost for Layer 2s comes from needing to store more data on Ethereum L1. This additional data ensures the validity and availability of L2 transactions, enhancing security. Fusaka pushes L2s to optimize their data storage methods, potentially spurring innovation in data compression and rollup technologies. This could lead to more efficient and cost-effective scaling solutions in the long run. ETH staking rewards could see a boost as L2 activity grows and more ETH is locked up to secure the network. This increased demand for ETH could drive up its price, benefiting ETH holders.
