Ethereum devs implement Dencun upgrade on Goerli testnet, activating 'proto-danksharding'
Quick Take: Ethereum core developers deployed the Dencun upgrade, incorporating proto-danksharding (EIP-4844) on the Goerli test network. This serves as a precursor to the anticipated release on the Ethereum mainnet, expected in the first quarter of 2024.
The Dencun upgrade was forked on the Goerli testnet around 1:35 a.m. ET, core developers confirmed in a livestream.
The central feature of this Dencun deployment (on Goerli) is the introduction of EIP-4844 — a novel transaction mechanism known as ephemeral blobs or proto-danksharding . This approach allows for the temporary storage and access of off-chain data by Ethereum nodes to reduce storage demands. It is expected to substantially lower transaction costs for Ethereum dApps, particularly benefiting Layer 2 rollup chains.
In preparation for this transition, the development team has opted for a phased approach — initially implementing the upgrade on various testnets.
Today it deployed on Goerli, the first testnet for the Dencun upgrade. The next implementation steps include Dencun's activation on the Sepolia testnet on Jan. 31, followed by the Holesky testnet on Feb. 7. The final mainnet release is expected by the end of the first quarter Q1 2024.
