Ethereum\u2019s<\/a> next major upgrade, Dencun, will likely see a delayed launch according to statements from developers during a meeting on Sept. 21<\/a>.<\/p>\n Though Dencun is largely complete, it is still under development and in need of testing. Tim Beiko, a member of the Ethereum Foundation, said that Dencun still must be deployed to a testnet. He added that the timing of this step could delay Cancun\u2019s launch on the Ethereum mainnet \u2014 where real transactions occur \u2014 into the new year.<\/p>\n Beiko said during the meeting:<\/p>\n \u201cI think the implication is, if we don\u2019t do a test net before Devconnect [Nov. 13-18] \u2026 it\u2019s probably unlikely we can do mainnet before the \u2026 Christmas holidays \u2026 and people being gone so that\u2019s probably not the best time for committment.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Developers previously did not give Dencun a definite date, but most previous estimates suggested that the upgrade would go live before the end of 2023.<\/p>\n News of a possible Dencun delay comes shortly after Ethereum\u2019s Holesky testnet experienced launch issues<\/a>. Holesky continues to wait for a relaunch.<\/p>\n During the current meeting, Developers addressed whether the Holesky testnet will be available for Dencun testing prior to Devconnect in November. Ethereum Foundation member Parithosh Jayanthi said that Holesky\u2019s relaunch is set to take place on Sept. 28 and will be ready for Dencun testing before the upcoming conference.<\/p>\n Jayanthi nevertheless suggested testing Dencun\u2019s first fork on an older testnet, Goerli, which will soon be discontinued. He noted that the end of Goerli\u2019s lifespan means that any issues related to Dencun will be isolated to that testnet.<\/p>\n Jayanthi additionally suggested that Dencun\u2019s second and third forks could be tested on the new Holesky testnet at a later date. \u201cIf [Dencun] goes badly on Holesky, then we have to figure out how to save it,\u201d Jayanthi concluded.<\/p>\n Dencun will combine two upgrades, Deneb and Cancun, and will bring various new features. The most notable of those features is proto-danksharding<\/a>, which will improve Ethereum\u2019s scalability when finally arrives on mainnet.<\/p>\n The post Ethereum\u2019s \u2018Dencun\u2019 upgrade likely delayed into 2024<\/a> appeared first on CryptoSlate<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ethereum\u2019s next major upgrade, Dencun, will likely see a delayed launch according to statements from developers during a meeting on Sept. 21.
