Ethereum Developers Target March 13 for Milestone 'Dencun' Upgrade on Mainnet

Summary

Ethereum's Dencun upgrade is set for March 13, aiming to reduce transaction costs on layer-2 networks. The upgrade will introduce "proto-danksharding" to store data, potentially benefiting projects like Celestia and Avail. The upgrade will occur at slot 8626176, following successful testing on the Holesky testnet. This marks a delay from the original target date due to technical issues. The next planned hard fork, Prague/Electra, may include "Verkle Trees" to aid in storing large amounts of data.
