Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, introducing “proto-danksharding,” has successfully completed its final stage of testing via the Holesky testnet and is now awaiting a date for its mainnet deployment.
Data shows the Dencun upgrade was forked on Holesky at about 11:35 am UTC on Feb. 7, with Nethermind sharing the news on X shortly after. The upgrade is widely expected to drive down transaction costs on Ethereum layer-2s.
Prior to Holesky, Dencun was deployed on the Goerli and Sepolia testnets on Jan. 17 and Jan. 30, respectively.
