2024-03-13 00:22:01 Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade will make DeFi a lot cheaper to use

Cancun-Deneb, or “Dencun” for short, contains nine different EIPs, or Ethereum Improvement Proposals. Among them, EIP-4844 is the most highly anticipated. It promises to dramatically cut the costs of interacting on layer 2 blockchains like Arbitrum and Optimism. Layer 2 fees will drop by a factor of 10 after the upgrade. That means swapping tokens on decentralised exchanges, which currently costs $1-2, should fall to around 20 cents, and could even go as low as a single cent on some layer 2 networks like Base.
