Ethereum’s developers expect to schedule Dencun\u2019s mainnet launch date during the Feb. 8 All Core Devs call.<\/p>\n
The final dress-rehearsal for Ethereum\u2019s highly-anticipated Dencun upgrade was successful, with Dencun going live on the Holesky testnet on Feb. 7.<\/p>\n
Prominent Ethereum developers and community members celebrated the fork’s smooth deployment, with EthPandaOps\u00a0describing<\/a>\u00a0the Holesky launch as \u201cuneventful.\u201d The fork followed two other testnet deployment on\u00a0Sepolia<\/a>\u00a0one week ago and\u00a0Goerli<\/a>\u00a0three weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cHolesky is finalized,\u201d\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0Paritosh, a devops engineer at the Ethereum Foundation. \u201cChurn limit looks good so far and blobs are flowing smoothly! Next stop, mainnet!\u201d<\/p>\n The mainnet deployment for Dencun is not currently scheduled, but Ethereum developers are\u00a0expected<\/a>\u00a0to determine the date for its launch during the Feb. 8 All Core Devs Execution call.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cBased on historical hard forks, the mainnet hard fork should happen in around four weeks,\u201d\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0Beachonchain.eth, an Ethereum data provider.<\/p>\n Dencun will significantly reduce the costs associated with transacting on Ethereum, especially on Layer 2, by replacing gas-intensive calldata with lightweight Binary Large Objects (blobs) via\u00a0EIP-4844<\/a> \u2014 also known as proto-danksharding. Unlike calldata, blobs do not compete with Ethereum transactions for gas and are not permanently stored on the blockchain, improving data availability.<\/p>\n \u201cDencun means more block space and lower costs,\u201d Phillippe Schommers, the infrastructure director at Gnosis, told The Defiant. \u201cData that was previously stored indefinitely will be discarded after two weeks.\u201d<\/p>\n Andy Bromberg, the CEO of the noncustodial wallet, Beam, told The Defiant that transaction fees could fall by between 66% and 80% once Dencun is live, Bromberg added that the upgrade benefits Ethereum by \u201cenhancing user-friendliness and reducing barriers to entry and adoption.”<\/p>\n Scroll, a prominent Ethereum Layer 2 rollup,\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cvirtually all rollup teams are actively working to integrate support for 4844 data blobs.\u201d Starknet, a rival Layer 2,\u00a0tweeted<\/a>\u00a0that it is readying to ship an upgrade introducing support for EIP-4844, describing the introduction of blobs as driving \u201cmajor cost reductions\u201d for Starknet transactions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ethereum’s developers expect to schedule Dencun\u2019s mainnet launch date during the Feb. 8 All Core Devs call.
