Ethereum’s Dencun hard fork includes EIP-4844, an upgrade that reduces the costs of layer-2 rollups.
Layer-2 scaling protocol Starknet aims to double the impact of lowered costs for rollups after Ethereum’s latest hard fork, Dencun, takes effect on March 13.
The Starknet Foundation announced the rollout of additional fee-saving initiatives on its protocol that will coincide with the Dencun upgrade. The hard fork is arguably the most significant upgrade to Ethereum’s protocol since its shift to proof-of-stake consensus in October 2022.
Dencun includes Ethereum improvement proposal (EIP-4844), which changes how Ethereum rollups store data on mainnet. Several layer-2 rollups aggregate and process transactions off-chain and submit a summary proof of these transactions to the Ethereum blockchain.
