<p>At the heart of the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/ethereum-dencun-the-planned-upgrade-for-march-2024/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Dencun upgrade</a> is <strong>the “proto-danksharding.”</strong> This is a technical innovation aimed at significantly reducing transaction costs for layer 2 blockchains.</p>
<div class="my-4">

<p>This major advance could resolve the scalability issues currently hampering Ethereum. It would indeed allow the crypto network to potentially process <strong>up to 100,000 transactions per second</strong>. Such capacity would propel Ethereum to the status of an ideal cryptographic platform.</p>
<h2 id="h-what-are-the-implications-for-crypto-investors-and-developers">What are the implications for crypto investors and developers?</h2>
<p>The increase in transaction processing capacity and the reduction in costs generated by the Dencun upgrade could attract a wave of new developers and users towards the Ethereum ecosystem.</p>

<p>This increased adoption <strong>would stimulate demand for ETH</strong>, positively influencing its price. Moreover, the upgrade could promote more diversification of the Optimism (OP) ecosystem and better availability of ZK-Rollups applications.</p>
<h2 id="h-ethereum-price-contrasting-prospects">Ethereum Price: Contrasting Prospects</h2>
<p>Analysts like <a href="https://coinedition.com/ether-price-might-fall-as-dencun-upgrade-nears-qcp-capital/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">QCP Capital</a> are predicting a correction in the ETH price as the upgrade approaches. They highlight <strong>the increase in short positions</strong> on Ethereum options. This indicates some investor apprehension about a possible price drop. This trend could be explained by a desire to hedge against risks associated with altcoin investments.</p>
<p>Market indicator analysis also reveals <strong>mixed signals</strong>.</p>
<ul>
 <li>On one hand, the risk reversal for ETH has become negative. This suggests concern about a price drop.</li>
 <li>On the other hand, the spot-forward spreads for Ethereum have slightly decreased. This denotes some confidence in the price stability.</li>
</ul>
<p>At the time of writing, the <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/crypto-markets/ethereum-eth-en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">price</a> of Ethereum (ETH) <strong>stands at $4,047.</strong></p>
