Proto-Danksharding (EIP-4844) At the heart of the Dencun upgrade is Proto-Danksharding, introduced through EIP-4844. This feature aims to significantly reduce the costs for Layer 2 (L2) rollups by introducing blob-carrying transactions. Blobs, or binary large objects, enable the efficient handling of large data packets off-chain, thereby increasing the network’s data throughput and reducing storage burden.
