BLOG Ethereum Dencun Upgrade EIP-4844: Everything You Need to Know About Proto-Danksharding Unleash the Power of Dencun Behold the new Ethereum Dencun Upgrade has arrived! As a community of blockchain enthusiasts, we are always excited about the latest upgrades in Ethereum. One such groundbreaking upgrade is the Ethereum Dencun. In this comprehensive guide, we will delve deep into the intricacies of the Ethereum Dencun Upgrade, explore its features and benefits, and understand the revolutionary concepts of EIP-4844 and Proto-Danksharding. So, let’s embark on this journey to unravel the future of Ethereum. Table of Contents What is Ethereum Dencun Upgrade? Before we dive into the details, let’s familiarize ourselves with the basics of Ethereum Dencun Upgrade. So, the Dencun is an upgrade that aims to enhance the scalability and efficiency of the Ethereum network. It introduces innovative solutions to address the challenges faced by the existing Ethereum infrastructure, such as high transaction fees and slow transaction processing speed. It’s not only aimed at making changes to the Ethereum itself but it will also affect all the Layer 2 networks, by offering a brand new way of storing and sharing data. What does it consist of? Ethereum Dencun upgrade consists of two major components: Deneb (for the Consensus layer) and Cancun (for the Execution layer). This dream team of updates brings significant changes to Ethereum’s inner infrastructure, by changing the way both beacon nodes and execution nodes operate between each other, sharing and storing data. Deneb: Targets the Consensus Layer, aiming to boost network security and validator efficiency. Cancun: Focuses on the Execution Layer, introducing enhancements that improve transaction processing and smart contract capabilities. EIPs included in Dencun Upgrade So, the Dencun Upgrade involves 9 Ethereum Improvement Proposals (EIPs). Here is the breakdown of all the EIPs included in Deneb and Cancun upgrades that are combined together forming the Dencun: Deneb EIPs: EIP-7044: Simplifies the process of validators exiting and withdrawing the stacker funds. EIP-7044 adds perpetually valid signed voluntary exits allowing simpler staking operation designs. EIP-7045: Increases the maximum inclusion slot for attestations following the learned security proof and confirmation rule needs. In simple words, it enhances the period during which an attestation can be included in a consensus Beacon Chain block. EIP-7514: Updates the maximum validator growth rate from an exponential to a linear increase by limiting the epoch churn limit. The Beacon chain spec can handle this without issues. Cancun EIPs: EIP-1153: Introduces transient storage opcodes, which manipulate state that behaves identically to storage, except that transient storage is discarded after every transaction. Transient storage is accessible to smart contracts via 2 new opcodes, TLOAD and TSTORE, where “T” stands for “transient:” EIP-7516: Adds a BLOBBASEFEE (0x4a) instruction that returns the value of the blob base-fee of the current block it is executing in. It is identical to EIP-3198 (BASEFEE opcode) except that it returns the blob base fee as per EIP-4844. EIP-5656: Proposes a new EVM instruction called MCOPY for efficiently copying memory areas within the EVM. It’s designed to reduce the overhead involved in memory copying operations . EIP-6780: Changes the functionality of the SELFDESTRUCT opcode. The new functionality will be only to send all Ether in the account to the target, except that the current behavior is preserved when SELFDESTRUCT is called in the same transaction a contract was created. Dencun EIPs There are several Ethereum Improvement Proposals that are both changing Consensus and Execution layers together. They are also the most important and game-changing improvements. EIP-4844: The most awaited improvement proposal is the EIP 4844. It introduces “shard blob transactions,” which are a new type of transaction designed to handle larger and more complex data structures. This enables Ethereum to support a broader range of applications and use cases by allowing transactions with 128KB ephemeral data blobs to drop after 3 weeks, resulting in no long-term storage usage . EIP-4788: Includes the storage of cryptographic accumulators, known as roots, of the blocks in the beacon chain within the EVM. Exposing these roots inside the EVM allows for trust-minimized access to the consensus layer. This functionality supports various use cases that improve trust assumptions of staking pools, restacking constructions, smart contract bridges, MEV mitigations, and more. Now, as we unveiled and structured all the EIPs included in Dencun Upgrade, let’s dive deeper into the most important and exciting one – EIP-4844. What is EIP-4844? EIP-4844 is “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind” in the context of Ethereum scalability and data sharding. This Ethereum Improvement Proposal greatly closes the day when full data sharding becomes a reality. EIP-4844 is crucial for Ethereum as it continues to seek scalable solutions to accommodate its growing user base and reduce transaction costs, which are still prohibitively high for many users. Some of the components of EIP-4844 such as Proto-Danksharding allow to significantly decrease the cost of data storage for Ethereum’s layer 2 rollups. This is achieved through the introduction of data “blobs” which enable rollups to post data to Mainnet for a short time. This results in significantly lower transaction fees for users of layer 2 rollups. Although high gas prices are still a big concern for the Web3 world, there are lots of scaling solutions that can already significantly decrease fees for many Ethereum users. For example, optimistic rollups such as Optimism, Base, and Arbitrum can offer ~3-10x lower fees than Ethereum itself. As well as ZK rollups, such as zkSync, Starknet, Linea, and many others, which have better data compression and can stay away from including signatures, have fees ~50-100+ times lower than the base layer. However, even these reduced fees are too costly for many users. The ideal answer to this issue has always been data sharding, which would provide approximately 16 MB per block of exclusive data space that rollups could use. However, many improvements must be made until full data sharding is achieved. To deal with these issues EIP-4844 proposes a temporary solution by introducing a transaction format intended for sharding, without actually sharding transaction data. Instead, the data from this transaction format is just a piece of the beacon chain and is completely downloaded by all consensus nodes. Moreover, this data can be deleted after only a fairly short delay. Unlike full data sharding, this EIP sets a cap on the volume of such transactions per block, aiming for around 0.375 MB and capping at approximately 0.75 MB. Proto-Danksharding: What are Data Blobs? As it is said, the core feature of the EIP-4844 is the Proto-Danksharding which is the introduction of data “blobs“. This exciting improvement enables rollups to post data to Mainnet for a short period. This results in significantly lower transaction fees for users of layer 2 rollups. So, what are exactly data blobs? Data blobs, as introduced in Ethereum’s EIP-4844, are essentially large chunks of data that can be attached to transactions. These blobs are designed to enhance Ethereum’s scalability by allowing more data to be included in each block without significantly increasing transaction costs. Blobs are data packets in which full information about the L2 transaction block is written. In this case, the blob is stored outside the execution layer, i.e. the EVM has no direct access to the data in the blob. Developers use the concept of a sidecar to describe the concept because a blob is “attached” to a block like a sidecar to a motorcycle. The data within these blobs is not required to be retained by consensus nodes, although a form of cryptographic proof of their previous existence remains. Previously, rollups used calldata to write transaction bundle data. Although calldata stored smaller data volumes and was cheaper, this information was about to stay on nodes practically forever, leading to data accumulation and increased node requirements. Since the EIP-4844 came to the network, rollups don’t have any choice but to use data blobs because sharded data will be much cheaper. Blobs are meant to be transient and unlike the calldata only available for a limited period of time (about 18 days) after which the data within is no longer retrievable by consensus clients. However, a cryptographic “fingerprint” of the blob, known as a KZG commitment, remains on the mainnet. KZG commitments ensure that despite the short-lived nature of blob data, its integrity can still be verified, which is crucial for maintaining trust in the network’s operations.

A Complete Guide Get Access to Kava EVM Being EVM-compatible while born on the combination of Cosmos SDK and Tendermint Consensus, the Kava network has emerged as a significant player in the blockchain market, offering unique opportunities for developers and users alike. As the blockchain industry continues to evolve, the demand for interoperability and scalability solutions will grow rapidly. It opens great opportunities for Solidity developers who choose Kava as the platform to build dApps on, as they can benefit from the scalability and security of the Kava Network while sticking to the familiar development process. In this guide, we’ll delve into the Kava network, introduce the Kava EVM, and provide a comprehensive walkthrough on the process of accessing and utilizing Kava EVM RPC methods with the help of NOWNodes. Keep reading to unlock the full potential of the Kava blockchain. Table of Contents What is Kava Network? Kava is a decentralized blockchain that combines the speed and interoperability of Cosmos with the developer power of Ethereum. The Kava network is a groundbreaking blockchain platform designed to power a wide array of DeFi applications and services. Built on the Cosmos SDK, it leverages the interoperability and scalability of the Cosmos ecosystem, known as the “Internet of Blockchains.” Moreover, the Kava Network provides an EVM-compatible execution environment that empowers Solidity developers and their dApps to benefit from scalability and security. Kava uses the Tendermint consensus mechanism, renowned for its robustness and reliability. With single-block finality and supreme scalability, Tendermint Consensus allows Kava to keep the transaction needs of thousands of protocols and millions of users. The Kava Networks also has its native token KAVA. This token is integral to the security, governance, and mechanical functions of the platform. There are three main use cases for the KAVA token: Security The Kava Blockchain employs Proof-of-Stake (PoS) validation, where nodes in the network, referred to as “validators”, are selected based on the number of KAVA tokens they stake. Governance KAVA is used for proposals and voting on critical parameters of the Kava Network. KAVA token holders help fuel growth on the network by staking their KAVA to vote on KavaDAO proposals that control the network’s resources Incentives A portion of KAVA emissions is distributed as incentives for scaling the network. These incentives go directly to top projects on each chain to drive growth, encourage competition, and improve the health of the Kava ecosystem. What is the Co-Chain Architecture of the Kava Network? The combination of Ethereum EVM and Cosmos SDK is what makes Kava Network different from other blockchains. This strategic alliance lets developers familiar with Solidity migrate their Ethereum-based applications to the Kava network, profiting from improved efficiency, security, and the extensive benefits of the Cosmos ecosystem. All that was made possible due to the robust Co-Chain Architecture and The Translator Module. KAVA’s co-chain architecture enables developers to build and deploy their applications and smart contracts using either the EVM or Cosmos SDK execution environments with seamless interoperability between the two. The Kava Network Co-Chain Architecture consists of two main components: the Ethereum Co-Chain and the Cosmos Co-Chain. The Ethereum Co-Chain part is responsible for building dApps and smart contracts. It allows developers to deploy Ethereum-based applications and smart contracts directly on Kava without any modifications. While the Cosmos Co-Chain part is aimed at cross-chain communications. It is perfectly suitable for building high-performance, interoperable applications and enables Kava to connect with other blockchains within the Cosmos network through the IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) protocol, promoting cross-chain asset transfers and communication. Both parts of the Architecture are connected by the Translator Module. It acts as a bridge, translating and transferring information between the two co-chains, which have different data structures, consensus mechanisms, and transaction formats. What is Kava EVM? Introduction to Kava EVM At the heart of Kava’s expansion into the Ethereum ecosystem is the Kava EVM – an Ethereum Virtual Machine implementation that facilitates the deployment and execution of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts on the Kava network. This compatibility layer bridges the gap between the Cosmos and Ethereum communities, allowing developers to leverage Ethereum’s rich development tools and languages, such as Solidity, within the scalable and interoperable Kava ecosystem. This Ethereum compatibility provides huge benefits for developers who are familiar with building on Ethereum, as Kava EVM utilizes the same JSON RPC methods to interact with the node. Ethereum’s compatibility on Kava EVM significantly lowers the entry barrier for Ethereum developers, enabling them to leverage their existing codebases and expertise in a new environment. It’s like moving to new apartments with the old furniture, but even much easier, because all your needed stuff is already waiting for you there.

NOWNodes paid Subscription Plans being THE MOST AFFORDABLE ON THE MARKET let our users make millions of requests per month from 1 Million on a PRO plan to an UNLIMITED number of interactions with the blockchain node on a DEDICATED one! How to Interact With Kava EVM Node Using JSON RPC Methods Interacting with the Kava EVM node involves utilizing JSON RPC methods, a standard protocol for invoking functions on a remote server. Here’s how to get started: Choose Your Tool: Decide on a tool for sending JSON-RPC requests, such as cURL for command-line interfaces, Postman for a graphical interface, or Web3.js/Ethers.js for integration into JavaScript applications. Formulate Your Request: Construct a JSON object specifying the jsonrpc version (usually “2.0”), the method you wish to call, any necessary params, and of course, don’t forget your <api-key> to authenticate your access to the node, and a provided kava-evm.nownodes.io endpoint to interact with the Kava EVM node. Send the Request: Use your chosen tool to send the request to the Kava EVM node endpoint. Handle the Response: Process the JSON response from the node, which contains the result of your RPC call. This could be information like the latest block number, the balance of an account, or the receipt of a submitted transaction. There are a variety of ETH JSON RPC methods available to interact with the Kava EVM node. Now let’s take a look at some of the basic methods of EVM like eth_blockNumber, which returns the current latest block number. Here’s the sample request: curl --request POST \ --url https://kava-evm.nownodes.io/<api-key> \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_blockNumber", "params": [], "id": 1 }' So, the response will show the latest mined block in the Kava blockchain in hexadecimal numbers, and it might be: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": "0x87abdf" } In this example, the latest block is 8891359th. Moreover, this method could be used to check if your connection to the node is correct. If the latest block that you see is up-to-date, then you’re fine and can start sending more complex requests. Now let’s check another classical Ethereum JSON-RPC API method eth_getBlockByHash that can be utilized on Kava EVM for querying sophisticated information about a specific block by its given hash. Here’s the sample request: curl --request POST \ --url https://kava-evm.nownodes.io/<api-key> \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "eth_getBlockByHash", "params": [ "0x53a5e82253d2179241d1bff69c37be423f52902c459b5c5ee41280098bb80850", false ], "id": 1 }' This method provides detailed data about a specific block identified by its hash. It includes the maximum amount of gas that could have been used by the transactions in the block, the total amount of used gas, the address of the validator who mined the block, the block number in hexadecimal, the timestamp when the block was mined, the array of transactions included in the block and more. Here’s the sample response for the hash provided in the example: { "jsonrpc": "2.0", "id": 1, "result": { "difficulty": "0x0", "extraData": "0x", "gasLimit": "0x1312d00", "gasUsed": "0x2f26a", "hash": "0x53a5e82253d2179241d1bff69c37be423f52902c459b5c5ee41280098bb80850", "logsBloom": "0x00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "miner": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "mixHash": "0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000", "nonce": "0x0000000000000000", "number": "0x7fe39e", "parentHash": "0x6e84882e49ebfe8027472e223149211f2b37a9647a188c6069a52801be1aaa07", "receiptsRoot": "0x56e81f171bcc55a6ff8345e692c0f86e5b48e01b996cadc001622fb5e363b421", "sha3Uncles": "0x1dcc4de8dec75d7aab85b567b6ccd41ad312451b948a7413f0a142fd40d49347", "size": "0x2c5f", "stateRoot": "0x5f1b0f3aa506a5c2b072e823abba46685faa798af8559362e6441bdd70150d2f", "timestamp": "0x65b96d7f", "totalDifficulty": "0x0", "transactions": [], "transactionsRoot": "0x56e81f171bcc55a6ff8345e692c0f86e5b48e01b996cadc001622fb5e363b421", "uncles": [] } } This method could also be used for checking the amount of stored blocks.
