Episode notes
Sharding Goals
- Danksharding and Proto-Danksharding aim to increase Ethereum's data capacity.
- This will lower transaction fees, especially on layer-2 solutions.
EIP-4844 and Proto-Danksharding
- EIP-4844 is essentially Proto-Danksharding, a step towards full sharding.
- Proto-Danksharding offers some sharding benefits earlier in the implementation timeline.
EIP-4844's Impact
- EIP-4844, unlike the Merge or EIP-1559, targets layer-2 gas fees.
- It achieves some sharding benefits quickly due to its simpler implementation.
