The Ethereum ecosystem is expected to lower gas fees and faster transaction speeds for layer 2 rollups as the Dencun upgrade hits the network’s three testnets in early 2024, stated Cointelegraph.
“The network could not sync with nodes because of a bug in Prysm, Ethereum’s proof-of-stake client. It’s one of the reasons why there are multiple clients, and why testnets exist,” Nebojsa Urosevic, co-founder, Tenderly, an Ethereum development platform, explained.
The Dencun network upgrade is believed to be activated on the Goerli testnet on January 17, 2024, introducing several Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). It is believed that EIP-4844, enables proto-danksharding, a anticipated improvement that is touted to reduce about L2 transaction fees.
Furthermore,“Proto-danksharding is a major step toward improved Ethereum scalability, thanks to the use of blob-carrying transactions instead of call data,” Cointelegraph concluded.
