\"Dencun<\/figure>\n

The long-anticipated Dencun upgrade for Ethereum is set for a March 13 release<\/a>, promising to bring big changes to the world\u2019s second-largest blockchain protocol. Of course, the highlight of the upgrade is expected to be the implementation of EIP-4844, which is set to introduce blobs of data designed to make rollups even more efficient and cost effective. We\u2019ve already talked about EIP-4844 and its significance on these pages. But the upgrade will include several other improvements that are not that well known. <\/p>\n

In this article we\u2019ll be exploring that other side of the Dencun upgrade, formally known as Cancun-Deneb. In fact, the name seems like a perfect starting point for this piece.<\/p>\n

What exactly is the Dencun upgrade?<\/h2>\n

So before we delve into the technical details, let\u2019s have a brief high level overview of the Dencun upgrade. First, let\u2019s unpack the name of the upgrade.<\/p>\n

As mentioned above, the official name of the upgrade is Cancun-Deneb, so Dencun is simply a somewhat clunky portmanteau of the two parts of that name. So, why Cancun-Deneb, then?<\/p>\n

Well, because these are actually two separate upgrades that will launch simultaneously. Cancun is an upgrade for Ethereum\u2019s execution layer, while Deneb is its counterpart targeting the consensus layer. Because they\u2019re launching at the same time we can think of them as two parts of a larger upgrade. So Dencun it is!<\/p>\n

The standout feature of the upgrade is undoubtedly proto-danksharding, which will be introduced with the implementation of EIP-4844. You can check out our detailed piece<\/a> on the matter, but here\u2019s a quick refresher. Proto-danksharding will introduce data \u2018blobs\u2019 that will store rollup transaction data for a set period of time. This is a form of temporary storage for rollup transaction data that is expected to make rollups even more efficient at scaling Ethereum.<\/p>\n

Beyond EIP-4844, Dencun is set to bring several other improvements, including some aimed at tidying up things at the opcode side, as well as improvements to staking and validating and communication between the two layers. In the following paragraph we\u2019ll be taking a closer look at some of those less talked about features of Dencun.<\/p>\n
