Episode notes
INSIGHT

Sharding Goals

  • Danksharding and Proto-Danksharding aim to increase Ethereum's data capacity.
  • This will lower transaction fees, especially on layer-2 solutions.
INSIGHT

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.
INSIGHT

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.
