Cost Reduction and Network Efficiency

The Dencun upgrade introduced EIP4844, which implemented data blobs—a development aimed at addressing Ethereum’s high fees and slow processing times. Although the full impact on cost reduction is yet to be completely realized due to the technical integrations into roll ups, the initial effects on Layer 2 gas fees indicate substantial improvements:

1. Cost Reductions of Posting data

2. Significant Fee Reductions Across L2 Solutions

Future Outlook and Danksharding

Danksharding remains a pivotal element in Ethereum’s upgrade roadmap, promising further enhancements to network capacity and performance. Planned improvements include increasing the number of blobs per block and exploring advanced data availability (DA) solutions such as PeerDAS. Concurrently, research continues on MEV resistance, Verkle Trees, and network optimization efforts to make Ethereum a more efficient, user-friendly ecosystem.

Next Steps and HTX Ventures' Perspective

As stakeholders in Ethereum's growth, HTX Ventures is enthusiastic about the potential unlocked by these developments. The Dencun upgrade's focus on cost reduction, scalability, security, and usability not only facilitates a more inclusive ecosystem but also paves the way for innovative and complex applications in gaming, SocialFi, DeFi, cross-chain interoperability, and more.

Emerging Trends and Competitive Landscape

Heightened competition among L2 solutions highlights the critical role of community engagement, infrastructure enhancement, and a comprehensive growth strategy integrating business development, sales, and marketing efforts.

Rule of Eigenlayer on Ethereum

The introduction of Eigenlayer significantly broadens the Ethereum ecosystem by integrating numerous protocols, enhancing its flexibility and diversity for a more agile environment.

Conclusion
