Ethereum’s next upgrade, Fusaka gets bigger: 4 new EIPs added during ACDE #214.

Let’s break down what’s coming 👇

EIP-7907: Raises the contract code size limit from 24KB ➡️ 256KB, and introduces gas metering for code loading, charging 2 gas per 32-byte word beyond the 24KB mark.

This allows for the deployment of much larger contracts, fully supported.

EIP-7934: Sets a protocol-level cap on RLP-encoded execution block size at 10 MiB, plus a 2 MiB buffer for beacon blocks.

This will help to improve network stability and security by limiting oversized blocks that could pose DoS risks.

EIP-7951: Introduces a new precompiled contract for verifying ECDSA signatures using the secp256r1 curve also known as P-256.

In short, this EIP makes Ethereum more compatible with existing Web2 cryptography, paving the way for easier integration with mainstream systems.

EIP-7939: Adds a new opcode called CLZ(X) – Count Leading Zeros, that counts how many zeros are at the start of a 256-bit number.

If the number is zero, it returns 256. it's very useful for cryptography, compression, and other bit-level operations.
