According to PANews, OP Labs announced on Twitter that 4844 will be launched on the OP Chain at 8:00 AM Beijing time on March 14th. The Ecotone upgrade will also go live after receiving approval from Optimism governance. Node operators need to take measures to prepare for the upgrade.
Once the basic Ecotone configuration is set up, nodes will need to configure new Beacon endpoints. This is because, shortly after Ecotone is activated, batch transactions will be sent as 4844 blobs, and these blobs can only be retrieved from Beacon nodes.
