$ETH developers have postponed the Dencun hard fork to 2024
This decision comes in response to significant technical challenges encountered in the test network. Dencun was one of the most highly anticipated upgrades to the Ethereum network. However, due to difficulties in development and testing, its release has been delayed. Developers are currently actively working on the next upgrade, including the proposal EIP-4844, and have confirmed that Dencun will not be rolled out this year.
In September 2023, the Ethereum Holesky test network faced issues, causing delays in development. Developer Tim Beiko speculated that the Dencun fork would be moved to the beginning of 2024 to avoid releasing the update during the holiday season.
This decision was confirmed at the All Core Developers conference. Developer Potuz highlighted serious problems with the test networks, emphasizing that none of them are functioning as intended.
