Ethereum’s next major upgrade, Dencun, will likely see a delayed launch according to statements from developers during a meeting on Sept. 21.
Though Dencun is largely complete, it is still under development and in need of testing. Tim Beiko, a member of the Ethereum Foundation, said that Dencun still must be deployed to a testnet. He added that the timing of this step could delay Cancun’s launch on the Ethereum mainnet — where real transactions occur — into the new year.
Beiko said during the meeting:
“I think the implication is, if we don’t do a test net before Devconnect [Nov. 13-18] … it’s probably unlikely we can do mainnet before the … Christmas holidays … and people being gone so that’s probably not the best time for committment.”
Developers previously did not give Dencun a definite date, but most previous estimates suggested that the upgrade would go live before the end of 2023.
