Ethereum Upgrade: Cheaper Gas Fees and Scaling Progress

Thu 14th Mar 2024
ZKSync, an Ethereum Layer 2 scaling solution, has successfully implemented the Dencun upgrade, which supports EIP-4844 (proto-danksharding) and utilizes blob-carrying transactions to reduce gas fees. OpenZeppelin audited the upgrade for security. While the full impact on transaction fees across Layer 2 solutions may take time to stabilize, ZKSync is starting with one blob per batch to ensure a smooth transition. This upgrade marks a significant milestone in scaling Ethereum and bringing it closer to mainstream adoption, with further work ongoing on validiums, data availability layers, optimized zero-knowledge proofs, and future protocol upgrades.

zkSync Update on EIP-4844 and Future Developments

Thu 14th Mar 2024
The zkSync community is anticipating the effects of EIP-4844 on L2 transaction fees in the Ethereum ecosystem. They are slowly rolling out updates, starting with 1 blob per L2 batch to improve fee markets. The team has been preparing for this transition to ensure security and stability. Further advancements include validiums, DA layers, optimized ZK-proofs, and future protocol upgrades as Ethereum continues its path towards mainstream adoption.

Introduction of EIP-4844 by zkSync

Thu 14th Mar 2024
zkSync was the first L2 to implement EIP-4844, also known as Protodanksharding, on Ethereum. This update introduces 'blobs' to reduce L2 fees, bringing cheaper transactions and advancing Ethereum's scalability. The EIP is a collaborative effort involving ETH core devs, researchers, and L2 teams to enhance Ethereum's rollup-centric roadmap.
