[Prices as of 12:30 PM ET. Click here for our Fear & Greed Index]( ETHEREUMâS BIG UPGRADE IS TOMORROW! ð Weâre T-24 hours away from Ethereumâs next big upgradeâ¦. Dencun. You might have questions. You might be scared. You mightâve just peed yourself. Donât worry though. Repeat after me⦠âMilk Road always has my back.â We donât want you to look as lost as Will Ferrell when he finally got back to civilization in Elf. So today weâre gonna cover everything you need to know. Letâs dive in. 1/ First of all⦠Whatâs up with the name? Why âDencunâ? I know. It sounds like a 3-year-old trying to say âDunkinâ Donutsâ for the first time. But itâs actually a mix between two upgrades happening simultaneously⦠- Deneb: The upgrade on Ethereumâs consensus layer. - Cancun: The upgrade on Ethereumâs execution layer. Deneb + Cancun = Dencun. P.S. - If you get confused between the two names, just remember⦠Potato. Potahto. Itâs the same thing! 2/ OK, so what is it? Whatâs it supposed to do? Dencun is the first major Ethereum upgrade since [The Merge](. The goal is to improve the blockchain's scalability, efficiency, and security. 3/ How? Through something called Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Think of them as small tweaks to the network. In total, 9 different EIPs will go into effect during the Dencun upgrade. The most important one is EIP-4844: - It introduces something called âproto-danksharding.â - This allows Ethereum Layer 2 networks ([L2s]() to use a new transaction type called âblobsâ - which temporarily store large amounts of data more cost-effectively. - The upgrade will significantly reduce transaction fees on L2s - like [Optimism](, [Arbitrum](, [Polygon](, [Base](, etc. For all my visual people out there, hereâs a quick âBefore vs. Afterâ:
[Source: @IntoTheBlock]( P.S. - We wonât bore you with the details of the other 8 EIPs (EIP-4844 is the big one you need to know about). But if you want to nerd out some more, check out this [blog](. If you want a dumbed-down version, check out this great Twitter [thread](. 4/ So what? Whatâs the big deal? - For users: It significantly reduces the fees to use Ethereum L2s. - For crypto projects: It makes Ethereum more attractive to build on. It can all be boiled down to this⦠less fees paid = more money to be made. 5/ Whatâs next? If youâre an Ethereum user or [ETH]( investor⦠you donât need to do anything! Just sit back, relax, and wait for the magic to happen. WARNING: Beware of Stranger Danger. If someone messages you saying you need to do something (i.e. bridge your ETH, download a file, etc.)⦠itâs likely a scam!
