After months of postponement, Dencun finally arrives. According to the Ethereum team, this update will take place within three weeks. Details !
Soon the Dencun test
The Dencun upgrade has been subject to numerous postponements. Ethereum devnets have therefore taken the precaution of postponing its deployment for 2024.
Seeing the latest news, the date of the launch of the Dencun tests is known.
“ Testing for Ethereum’s upcoming ‘Dencun’ update will begin on the Goerli testnet on January 17 »
In the article associated with this tweetCoingelegraph emphasizes this date of January 17, where Ethereum’s “Canun-Deneb” (or Dencun) upgrade will begin to be tested. The crypto media also delivered a schedule stating that:
- Dencun will be tested on Goerli on this date;
- he will be welcomed on Sepolia on January 30 ;
- and will deploy on Holesky on February 7.
The date of integration of Dencun on the Ethereum mainnet is not yet known.
What is the Dencun fork made of? Among other things, we will cite suggestions for improvements such as:
- EIP-1153, which promises a “transient storage” system conducive to cost reduction;
- EIP-4788, guaranteeing increased transparency by storing the root of each Beacon Chain block in a smart contract associated with applications;
- etc.
Regarding EIP-4788, please note that ETH developers want to ensure that the data provided by this improvement is suitable for new features for bridges and staking pools.
In other words, Dencun includes several promising tools: on the one hand there are those capable of reducing Ethereum gas fees, the Achilles heel of this blockchain, and on the other hand those which allow the imposition of limits use of smart contract self-destruct operations.
