What to Expect From Ethereum’s Latest Massive Upgrade: Dencun

Etymology: Proto-Danksharding is named after two Ethereum researchers, Dankrad Feist and Proto Lambda, who proposed the change. It’s fitting because Proto Danksharding is necessary for the full rollout of Danksharding — which is several years away and takes the idea of simplifying data storage further. Also, although the term “sharding” is in the name, neither Danksharding nor Proto-Danksharding is a traditional way to “shard” — or split — a database into smaller parts as known in computer science, which was the original plan for getting Ethereum to scale. In a…

Blobs Launch on Gnosis Chain before Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade

CoinspeakerBlobs Launch on Gnosis Chain before Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade In advance of Ethereum’s eagerly anticipated Dencun upgrade, Gnosis Chain has taken a pioneering step by introducing blobs – a novel approach to enhancing the blockchain’s data handling capabilities. Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade: A Closer Look At the heart of the Dencun upgrade lies Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) 4844, also known as proto-dank sharding. This proposal introduces blob transactions as a solution to the high costs and inefficiencies associated with current data storage methods on the blockchain. Currently, Ethereum and its Layer…

Vitalik Buterin outlines Ethereum’s countermeasures for quantum attacks

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has recently addressed concerns over the potential impact of quantum computing on the Ethereum (ETH) network. In a post dated March 9 to Ethereum Research, Buterin presented a scenario where quantum computers become accessible and could be used by malicious actors to compromise user funds. He suggested that Ethereum is already prepared to counter such threats with a recovery plan that would involve minimal user impact. Buterin’s proposition includes the possibility of a “quantum emergency,” where quantum computing capabilities could lead to large-scale theft of Ethereum…

Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade set to launch March 13 

Ethereum announced that its Dencun upgrade has been successfully activated on all testnets and will be deployed on the Ethereum mainnet on Mar. 13th. The Dencun upgrade introduces several enhancements to improve the network’s efficiency and scalability, the most notable being the implementation of EIP-4844, colloquially known as protodanksharding. EIP-4844 represents a groundbreaking advancement in Ethereum’s ongoing scalability efforts, introducing ephemeral data blobs poised to reduce Layer 2 (L2) transaction fees significantly.  In simple terms, EIP-4844 is like adding extra lanes to a busy highway. Ethereum can get crowded, making…
