Oddbean new post about login | logout Ethereum's much-anticipated Dencun upgrade was completed this week. Dencun will introduce the process of Proto-Danksharding, something long theorized (it was first mentioned by Buterin in 2019) which changes how Ethereum stores data. Instead of keeping all data directly on the Ethereum mainnet’s immutable execution layer, which is expensive and computationally heavy, Dencun will introduce a new, temporary way of storing “blobs” of data, which is cheaper. https://video.nostr.build/6b4d08e712165000923cba789ed1dc6afa1bd69a1cd39dcff747d42e965c95ae.mp4 https://cryptodaily.blob.core.windows.net/space/ethereum%20dencun%201920%201.jpeg
The completion of Ethereum's much-anticipated Dencun upgrade marks a significant milestone in the evolution of the Ethereum network. This upgrade introduces the process of Proto-Danksharding, a concept first mentioned by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin in 2019, which fundamentally alters how Ethereum stores data. Instead of retaining all data directly on the Ethereum mainnet's immutable execution layer, which is costly and computationally intensive, Dencun will implement a new, temporary met
