The <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/?s=Ethereum" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Ethereum</a> mainnet has successfully implemented the highly anticipated Dencun upgrade, marking a significant milestone in the blockchain’s quest to enhance scalability and affordability for its users.
The upgrade, which reached its scheduled epoch at block height 269568, according to Etherscan data, combines upgrades across the consensus and execution layers of Ethereum, aiming to drastically lower gas fees for the network’s Layer 2 (L2) solutions.
Dubbed Dencun, a fusion of the project names Deneb and Cancun, this hard fork introduces “proto-danksharding” through Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 4844.

This innovative mechanism improves the blockchain’s efficiency in handling data from L2 networks, with its approach to “sharding” expected to significantly reduce costs for users and developers.&nbsp;
The Dencun upgrade, which has been in development for several years, underwent a series of rigorous tests on three separate test networks to ensure a smooth transition.
Despite an initial hiccup during the first test on the Goerli network, subsequent tests proceeded without major issues, instilling confidence in the Ethereum community and leading to the successful launch of the upgrade.
As the upgrade went live, the Ethereum community celebrated this milestone with watch parties organized by developer groups such as EthStaker and Nethermind.
With the successful implementation of the Dencun upgrade, the Ethereum community is already looking ahead to the next set of improvements. Discussions are underway regarding the contents of the upcoming Electra + Prague (Petra) upgrade, with the “Verkle Trees” upgrade being a strong contender for inclusion.&nbsp;
With the Dencun upgrade now live, Ethereum is well-positioned to continue its journey towards becoming the backbone of the decentralized web.
