Gnosis Chain, an Ethereum-compatible network, has successfully implemented the Dencun upgrade, enabling the use of blobs (EIP-4844 Proto-Danksharding) ahead of Ethereum's mainnet upgrade scheduled for March 15th, 2024.​ The upgrade will allow Layer 2 chains to scale and provide cheaper data layers.​ Gnosis Chain's early adoption serves as a preview for Ethereum's transition and highlights the network's commitment to decentralization, with over 200,000 validator instances live.​ The upgrade is expected to bring new applications and further growth to the Gnosis ecosystem.​

For the first time, Ethereum is not the first L1 to apply the next hard fork (Dencun). Gnosis Chain will do it first, providing a preview of what will happen to Ethereum in 2 days. Incredibly proud of the teams involved @nethermind @ErigonEth led by @filoozom and @dapplion.

What’s better than Dencun? Double Dencun! @gnosischain in ~8h and Ethereum in 2 days. This move makes sure that on Gnosis you will continually find cheap block space (in form of gnosis L2s) that are closest to the Ethereum tech stack even when the gnosis main chain fills up!

The Dencun Upgrade is live on @GnosisChain! This will make Gnosis the only chain besides Ethereum with 4844 blob space. With the new Gnosis 3.0 focus on payments, Dencun will enable several L2s to launch with lower fees. There are already L2s in the works for: -Gnosis Pay

A huge achievement of hitting 200,000 validators for @gnosischain 🤝 Gnosis is leveraging the decentralisation of Gnosis Chain to launch and grow Gnosis Pay, a self custodied electronic cash system that is built on the core values of early crypto. Excited for the future 🦉

Wonder why $GNO is thriving? a) 200k validator instances live and b) dencun coming 2 days prior on @gnosischain than on #ethereum mainnet. Gnosis chain is on the way to become the canary network for Ethereum 👏👏

Congrats to @gnosischain on the successful Dencun upgrade! 🐡 Gnosis can adopt Ethereum hard forks because it runs the same dual-layer stack with a “Beacon chain” consensus layer that supports all the major Ethereum clients Next stop: Dencun on Ethereum Mainnet this Wednesday!
