Ethereum Dencun Upgrade Date Confirmed by Devs – U.Today
Almost all software clients are ready for Ethereum Dencun activation, says Galaxy researcher Christine Kim. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) developers agreed on the first EIPs of Electra, a hardfork expected in late 2024.
Dencun mainnet activation is scheduled for March 13; the timeline is confirmed by Ethereum All Core Developers Consensus Call #128 that happened yesterday, Feb. 22, 2024. All software clients except Lodestar are ready for mainnet Dencun release.
quick notes from the eth dev call this morning, acdc #128:
dencun š”
– all client teams, except lodestar, have released final software versions for the dencun upgrade
– these versions plus the dencun-ready candidate client for lodestar are currently being tested on one lastā¦
Updated software client versions together with Lodestar are currently being tested on one last testnet within the framewok of a so-called mainnet shadow fork. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) devs scheduled more testing on the shadow fork over the next few days.
Dencun-ready MEV-Boost software will be released by the Flashbots team next week, Kim says. Prior to March 13, all node operators should upgrade their clients and MEV protection software.
As covered by U.Today previously, Dencun or Cancun-Deneb upgrade reconsiders the way data is being processed in Ethereum (ETH) to make it more resource-efficient.
Dencun will introduce the Proto-Danksharding mechanism and “blob” data instrument to reduce the volume of data Ethereum (ETH) network needs to store.
Ethereans have started working on the Electra upgrade. The first version of the agenda includes three EIPs: EIP 6110 “Supply validator deposits on chain,” EIP 7002 “Execution layer triggerable exits” and EIP 7549 “Move committee index outside attestation.”
Ethereum Electra is the next major milestone in the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) roadmap.
