Following the successful launch of the Ethereum Dencun upgrade, which transferred 15,000 ETH and caused excitement among community members, developers are already in the middle of discussions on whether to include MaxEB in Electra and have already begun work on what's next. I am.
The development team is currently evaluating additional features to include in the upgrade and expects to make final decisions within the next 1-4 weeks.
Cryptocurrency researcher Christine Kim highlighted the importance of parallel efforts alongside the Electra upgrade in a series of posts on Page X. Two important initiatives were highlighted.
Yesterday, Ethereum developers agreed to include MaxEB in Electra. They continue to research the list of potential upgrades, and he expects to make a final decision on whether to add it to Electra in 1-4 weeks. https://t.co/9jhrWG0kXy — Christine Kim (@christine_dkim) March 22, 2024
PeerDAS and light client development
The first is PeerDAS, an initiative aimed at enhancing Ethereum's data availability capacity, commonly referred to as “BLOBs”, in a secure manner. This is necessary because high data availability is important for scalability and network performance.
Second, light client development focuses on developing lightweight client solutions that minimize hardware requirements, reduce dependence on third-party services, and allow more users to access Ethereum independently. Place.
This overall goal of the developer initiative aims to improve accessibility and decentralization within the Ethereum network for users. While MaxEB remains the primary focus for developers due to its immediate impact on the network, PeerDAS and light client development are both considered high priorities.
However, given the complexity of the Electra upgrade, some of the bandwidth may be diverted from these parallel tasks. Therefore, Kim encourages his Ethereum community to hold developers accountable for advancing these parallel efforts alongside the Electra upgrade.
Aligning efforts for long-term growth
Despite their importance, she admits that they may not initially receive the same level of attention as MaxEB, but acknowledges their importance to the long-term growth and development of the Ethereum network. I'm emphasizing.
Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin will be a keynote speaker at the ETHTaipei 2024 Annual Ethereum Developer Conference and Hackathon, which is currently underway and scheduled to end on March 24th. At the conference, Buterin will participate in a panel discussion with Ethereum leaders. Layer 2 network to evaluate Ethereum's scaling progress.
Analysts are concerned about ETH’s recent decline and the possibility of it falling below $1,850 as developers strategize for the future. This sentiment has triggered further downward momentum and paints a potentially bleak outlook for the asset's near future.
