Countdown to Dencun Upgrade

The Dencun Upgrade is now live!

Ethereum’s next update

What is Dencun?

With the upcoming Dencun upgrade, Ethereum will adopt EIP-4844, commonly called proto-danksharding. This upgrade introduces type-3 transactions (blobs), bringing new opportunities and new complexity for Layer 2 networks to optimize how they settle to the base layer.

View blobs enter the mempool and land on-chain with the Ethernow Transaction Explorer.
Estimate blob gas fee
Blocknative will be adding blob gas fee estimation to the existing gas APIs. 
Research blob history

The Mempool Data Archive will store blob data for L2s and researchers to use. 

How will Ethereum's Dencun Upgrade Affect Me?

There is nothing you need to do to prepare for the Dencun upgrade, it will happen seamlessly and users will not have to change anyway in which they interact with either Ethereum or any of its layer 2 networks.

One positive impact is that you should see lower gas prices once the update is complete. Layer 2's should gradually shift to using proto-danksharding which will result in gas prices settling at lower levels.

Exploring the Gas Network Community Dashboard
The Gas Network Community Dashboard A Cross Chain Fee Analysis Tool The blockchain ecosystem has grown increasingly complex, with multiple networks operating in parallel. But one thing that ties every blockchain together are fee markets - which represent actual demand for blockspace. For users, developers, and researchers looking to understand the crypto fee landscape, the Gas Network Community Dashboard offers a comprehensive look into the often unclear world of blockchain transaction costs.

Optimizing Uniswap V4 Swap Fees With Gas Network
Optimizing Uniswap V4 Swap Fees With Gas Network This was originally published on the Gas Network blog - https://paragraph.xyz/@gas/optimizing-uniswap-v4-swap-fees-with-gas-network Gas Network is a decentralized ecosystem designed to unify multi-chain gas data and simplify fee management across every blockchain. Our core vision is to empower end users, wallets, and protocols with near-instant, accurate gas price data—bringing transparent, cost-effective “gas-aware” functionality to the entire Web3 world.

Introducing Gas Network
We’re thrilled to introduce Gas Network, a new decentralized oracle protocol from Blocknative designed to bring Web3 gas markets fully onchain. If you’ve ever felt the pain of unpredictable fees, endless guesswork around gas prices on different chains, or sudden spikes that leave you paying way too much, then you understand the challenge we’re here to solve.
