Ethereum Plans For Dencun Upgrade: Is This The End Of Roll-Ups?
Summary
Ye Zhang, co-founder of Scroll, is cautiously optimistic about the Dencun upgrade in Ethereum, highlighting its potential benefits such as low transaction fees but also the challenges it may pose for existing layer-2 scaling solutions. The upgrade, including the implementation of EIP-4844, introduces "blob-carrying transactions" allowing cheap attachment of large data, potentially competing with layer-2 solutions. However, roll-ups still offer superior scalability and security. Ethereum is trading above $3,800, with expectations of further gains after the upgrade. Interest in Ethereum layer-2 solutions is growing, with over $36 billion managed by alternatives like Arbitrum and Optimism.
