Resolution criteria:

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the Fusaka upgrade includes the EVM Object Format (EOF) upon its activation on the Ethereum mainnet. If EOF is not included in the Fusaka upgrade at that time, the market will resolve to "No."

Background:

The Fusaka upgrade is the planned successor to Ethereum's Pectra upgrade, aiming to introduce significant enhancements to the network. Two major features proposed for inclusion in Fusaka are:

• PeerDAS (Peer Data Availability Sampling): A protocol designed to improve data availability by allowing nodes to store and verify only a subset of data, thereby increasing network scalability without additional bandwidth requirements.

• EVM Object Format (EOF): An overhaul of the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) to provide a clearer bytecode structure, improve efficiency, and enable deploy-time code validation. EOF aims to make smart contracts more efficient and easier to analyze by removing certain features like dynamic jumps and code/gas observability.

As of early 2025, there has been debate within the Ethereum developer community regarding the inclusion of EOF in the Fusaka upgrade. Some developers advocate for its inclusion due to potential benefits in contract efficiency and security, while others express concerns about its complexity and compatibility with emerging technologies like zero-knowledge rollups. Notably, the Geth team, responsible for a widely used Ethereum client, has expressed opposition to including EOF in Fusaka, suggesting it be excluded from the upgrade. (decrypt.co)

The final decision on whether EOF will be part of the Fusaka upgrade is pending, with discussions ongoing among Ethereum's core developers. The outcome of these discussions will determine the resolution of this market.
