According to CoinDesk, Ethereum core developers stated at the bi-weekly meeting held on Thursday (January 21) that their goal is to run Dencun on the Goerli testnet on January 17. This highly anticipated upgrade will activate proto-danksharding (EIP-4844), thereby reducing the cost of Layer 2 rollups and expanding Ethereum by increasing the space for “blob” data sets.
Tim Beiko, the protocol support lead at the Ethereum Foundation, stated during the meeting that Dencun will be the first significant Ethereum upgrade since the earlier Shapella upgrade this year. Originally scheduled for the last quarter of 2023, the developers postponed it to 2024 due to the complexity of the upgrade.
The developers also discussed the tentative schedule for testing the Dencun upgrade. They plan to run the Dencun upgrade on the Sepolia testnet on January 31, followed by the Holesky testnet on February 7. The changes are then expected to be deployed on the mainnet around late February. They cautioned that these timelines may change depending on the results of the testnet forks.
