Ethereum’s next set of hard forks is anticipated to benefit layer-2 scaling protocols significantly by reducing storage costs.
Layer-2 protocols scaling the Ethereum blockchain are set to benefit from significantly reduced rollup costs when the Dencun hard fork hits mainnet. Still, end-users might not reap the full benefit immediately.
Polygon Labs VP of Product David Silverman tells Cointelegraph that Ethereum’s latest hard fork, which features several improvement proposals (EIPS), will take a few weeks to fully implement by rollup protocols:
