Sepolia Testnet Successfully Implements "Cancun Upgrade" with Final Testing before Mainnet Deployment

The next major network upgrade for Ethereum, called “Dencun Upgrade,” was successfully launched on the Ethereum testnet Sepolia last night. This means that only one more testnet is left before the “proto-danksharding” feature is implemented on the Ethereum mainnet.

Proto-danksharding aims to reduce the cost of transactions and data availability in the two-layer network on Ethereum by introducing a new data structure called “blob.” As the number of two-layer networks on Ethereum is growing rapidly, this upgrade is seen as an important component of the ecosystem roadmap. After the upgrade is completed, the new data structure named “Blob” has been flowing in the Sepolia network.

Vitalik Buterin, co-founder of Ethereum, explained:
Earlier this month, Ethereum core developers deployed the first testnet upgrade on the Goerli testnet. After the Sepolia upgrade is completed, Ethereum core developers will perform the final test on the Holesky testnet on February 7. Afterward, developers will sign the date to activate the Dencun Upgrade on the main blockchain.
