<p>Almost all software clients are ready for Ethereum Dencun activation, says Galaxy researcher Christine Kim. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) developers agreed on the first EIPs of Electra, a hardfork expected in late 2024.</p>
<h2 id="ethereum-dencun-activation-on-march-13-confirmed">Ethereum Dencun activation on March 13 confirmed</h2>
<p>Dencun mainnet activation is scheduled for March 13; the timeline is confirmed by Ethereum All Core Developers Consensus Call #128 that happened yesterday, Feb. 22, 2024. All software clients except Lodestar are ready for mainnet Dencun release.</p>
<blockquote>
 <p lang="en" dir="ltr">quick notes from the eth dev call this morning, acdc #128: dencun 🐡- all client teams, except lodestar, have released final software versions for the dencun upgrade- these versions plus the dencun-ready candidate client for lodestar are currently being tested on one last…</p>— Christine Kim (@christine_dkim) <a href="https://twitter.com/christine_dkim/status/1760780489151881677?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">February 22, 2024</a>
</blockquote>
<p>Updated software client versions together with Lodestar are currently being tested on one last testnet within the framewok of a so-called mainnet shadow fork. Meanwhile, Ethereum (ETH) devs scheduled more testing on the shadow fork over the next few days.</p>
<p>Dencun-ready MEV-Boost software will be released by the Flashbots team next week, Kim says. Prior to March 13, all node operators should upgrade their clients and MEV protection software.</p>
<p>As covered by U.Today previously, Dencun or Cancun-Deneb upgrade reconsiders the way data is being processed in Ethereum (ETH) to make it more resource-efficient.</p>
<h2 id="devs-started-working-on-electra-next-major-ethereum-hard-fork">Devs started working on Electra, next major Ethereum hard fork</h2>
<p>Dencun will introduce the Proto-Danksharding mechanism and "blob" data instrument to reduce the volume of data Ethereum (ETH) network needs to store.</p>
<p>Ethereans have started working on the Electra upgrade. The first version of the agenda includes three EIPs: EIP 6110 "Supply validator deposits on chain," EIP 7002 "Execution layer triggerable exits" and EIP 7549 "Move committee index outside attestation."</p>
<p>Ethereum Electra is the next major milestone in the Ethereum proof-of-stake (PoS) roadmap.</p>
