According to BlockBeats news, on March 13, according to Etherscan data, the Ethereum Dencun upgrade is expected to be activated on the Ethereum mainnet in one and a half hours, and the current epoch is 269553. The "Dencun" upgrade name is a combination of the Cancun upgrade of the Ethereum execution client and the Deneb upgrade of the consensus client. The main goal of the upgrade is to improve the scalability and modularity of the Layer 2 network, enhance the security functions of the Ethereum network, and improve Overall usability. The proposal that has received the most attention is EIP-4844 (Proto-Danksharding), which is the pre-plan for the full version of sharding expansion Danksharding. The entire set of sharding solutions revolves around Rollup for on-chain expansion, aiming to expand Layer 2 Rollup and help Layer 2 reduce fees and increase throughput, and pave the way for full sharding. According to data previously released by the Ethereum Foundation, Dencun is expected to be activated on the Ethereum mainnet at 21:55 on March 13, Beijing time, with epoch 269568.
