The mainnet launch date for the Ethereum Dencun upgrade will be confirmed next Thursday

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, Ethereum developers plan to determine the mainnet launch date for the Dencun upgrade next Thursday (February 8), which will introduce several EIPs, including the proto-dank sharding that is expected to reduce Layer 2 transaction costs.

In addition, Galaxy Digital's Vice President of Research, Christine Kim, stated that the likelihood of the Dencun mainnet being activated by the end of March is 80%, and there is also a possibility of it going live by the end of February, but she indicated that this possibility is low, close to 40%.
