Ethereum developers deploy Dencun update to Sepolia testnet

Ethereum developers have successfully deployed the Dencun update to the Sepolia testnet.

The hard fork includes several tools that are designed to reduce fees on the Ethereum blockchain, while additionally providing new opportunities for bridges and stabilization funds.

This was not the first attempt to deploy the update to the test network, however, as developers did not provide launch details, but noted that Sepolia has been updated to Dencun.

Dencun is also implementing proposal EIP-4844, known as “proto-danksharding.” It is designed to scale the network by creating a new transaction type to store more data. The developers expect that the update will reduce transaction fees in second-level (L2) networks based on roll-up technology.

To further reduce fees and increase transparency, proposals EIP-1153 and EIP-4788 are provided, which are also included in the upcoming hard fork.

However, the previous launch attempt was unsuccessful. On Jan. 17, ETH developers launched the Dencun hard fork on the Goerli testnet. However, the update could not be completed due to the synchronization of validators, with approximately one fifth of operators not having updated software.

Initially, on Dec. 22, 2023 the Ethereum team announced that they were going to update Dencun on the Goerli testnet.

The update was initially launched on the Goerli test network, then deployed to Sepolia and Holesky within two weeks. If all stages are successful, Dencun will appear on the mainnet in February 2024.

Although the majority of assets in the cryptocurrency sector got off to a slow start this week, Bitcoin (BTC) could be looking at a massive advance toward and beyond the threshold of $47,000 soon, provided it manages to break the key resistance that currently stands in its way. As it happens, Bitcoin’s realized price distribution (URPD) or unspent transactions output (UTXO), or the amount remaining after every transaction, suggests that the maiden cryptocurrency is facing “stiff resistance at $38,500,” as noted by crypto market analyst Ali Martinez in an X post on November 26. Having said that, the crypto trading expert also observed that the flagship decentralized finance (DeFi) asset “slicing through this barrier could help BTC advance toward $47,360,” which is the next significant point in the chart Analysis that Martinez shared.

Gwadabe reportedly emphasized that Binance trading has increasingly established itself as a central point for both the Investor and Exporters window as well as the parallel market. Binance continues to experience an increase in regulatory heat as the Federal Government of Nigeria is being urged by the Association of Bureau De Change Operators of Nigeria (ABCON) to prohibit the activities of Binance within the nation.
