Ethereum's Dencun Upgrade With Proto-Danksharding Goes Live on Sepolia Testnet
- Ethereum's "Dencun" upgrade went live on the Sepolia testnet, the second of three testnets
- Dencun introduces "proto-danksharding" to reduce transaction costs for layer-2 chains and data availability
- Layer-2 chains on Ethereum are expanding quickly, so Dencun is seen as essential to support growth
- Dencun will go live on the final Holesky testnet next week on Feb. 7
- Dencun is the biggest Ethereum upgrade since Shapella enabled staked ETH withdrawals in March 2023
