EIP-4844, also known as “Proto-Danksharding,” is a proposed Ethereum Improvement Proposal designed to substantially decrease transaction fees for layer-2 scaling solutions. It introduces a novel transaction format that incorporates “blobs” of data, which are more cost-effective for rollups to post to the Ethereum mainnet than existing methods. This mechanism aims to lower the operational costs associated with using decentralized applications by reducing data availability expenses.
Context
EIP-4844 represents a pivotal upgrade within Ethereum’s scalability roadmap, specifically addressing the cost of data availability for rollup solutions. Its successful integration is anticipated to yield significant reductions in layer-2 transaction fees, thereby improving user experience and promoting wider adoption of decentralized applications built upon the Ethereum network.
The Dencun upgrade's EIP-4844 fundamentally rearchitects data availability, enabling a dramatic reduction in Layer 2 operational overhead and enhancing network scalability.
EIP-4844 fundamentally re-architects Ethereum's data availability layer, unlocking exponential Layer-2 throughput and enabling a new era of decentralized application scalability.
