The upgrade, a fusion of the Cancun and Deneb improvements, aims to enhance both the execution and consensus layers of the Ethereum blockchain.
The Ethereum Dencun upgrade has seamlessly made its way onto the Holesky testnet, marking the conclusive phase of testing before its much-anticipated mainnet deployment scheduled for the coming month.
Ethereum core developers forked the Holesky testnet for the Dencun upgrade at exactly 6:35 AM ET, a move confirmed by Ethereum execution client Nethermind. As per reports, the process was swift and concluded shortly after initiation, showcasing the robustness of the upgrade implementation.
The Dencun upgrade followed a strategic and phased approach, commencing with deployments on the Goerli testnet on January 17 and the Sepolia testnet on January 30.
Now, with the successful implementation on Holesky, the Ethereum community eagerly awaits the final deployment on the mainnet, with a date expected to be announced during the Ethereum All Core Developers call tomorrow, hinting at an early to mid-March timeframe.
Dencun merges the Cancun and Deneb upgrades on Ethereum, addressing improvements in both the execution and consensus layers. This upgrade, as outlined in Galaxy researcher, Christine Kim's post, represents the last testnet launch before its grand entrance into the mainnet realm.
At the heart of the Dencun Upgrade lies the Proto-DankSharding innovation, designed to process data blobs and enhance the scalability of the Ethereum blockchain.
The restructuring of data models will also play a pivotal role in reducing transaction costs on the network. This fundamental value proposition positions Dencun as a catalyst for significant improvements in Ethereum's throughput and cost-effectiveness.
With Ethereum grappling with slow throughput and high transaction costs, the Dencun upgrade promises a transformative shift in the network's dynamics.
