Fork Dencun 13 Maret Ethereum yang sangat dinanti-nantikan telah mendukung adopsi Lapisan 2, dengan alamat aktif dan volume transaksi keduanya berada dalam tren mendekati level tertinggi sepanjang masa setelah peningkatan tersebut.

According to data from L2beat, combined daily Layer 2 throughput tagged its second highest level on record at roughly 136.5 transactions per second (TPS) on March 16, just a few days after Dencun’s execution.

The current all-time high of 149.5 TPS was set in mid-December amid a short-lived bubble of skyrocketing inscription activity across Layer 2 networks.

Daily transaction count volume on leading Layer 2s supporting EIP-4844, the principal upgrade included in the Dencun fork that drove L2 transaction fees down, has more than doubled over the past seven days.

Data from GrowThePie shows weekly transaction count increases of 100% on Arbitrum, 124% on OP Mainnet, 187% on Base, and 179% on Starknet. GrowThePie also shows increases in the number of alamat aktif across said networks of between 17%, 75%, 81%, and 89% over the same period.

While the recent uptick on market volatility has likely contributed to the number of transactions jumping, many on-chain traders appear to be migrating over to Layer 2 after Dencun reduced fees on leading Layer 2s by lebih dari 80%.

According to GrowThePie, average transaction fees have dropped by 98% on Base, OP Mainnet, and Starknet over seven days following Dencun, while fees on Arbitrum and ZkSync Era are down 96% and 86% respectively.

Aktivasi Dencun bertepatan dengan biaya transaksi yang terus-menerus tinggi di mainnet Ethereum, sehingga meningkatkan tingkat pembakaran ETH.

According to Ultra Sound Money, 43.5% of ETH burned after The Merge — Ethereum’s September 2022 upgrade that introduced Proof of Stake consensus and dramatically reduced new Ether issuance — were removed from supply since the start of November, despite the period making up only 25% of time elapsed since The Merge.

Pasokan Ether turun hampir 450,000 ETH sejak The Merge diluncurkan, yang merupakan deflasi tahunan hampir 0.25%. Deflasi tahunan memiliki tren sebesar 0.91% selama 30 hari terakhir.

Dalam berita Ethereum lainnya, Tim Beiko dari Ethereum Foundation dikeluarkan a “final announcement” reminding testnet users to migrate onto Sepolia or Holesky in preparation for the deprecation of the long-running Goerli network pada bulan Maret 18.

Beiko mencatat bahwa meskipun Georli dijadwalkan untuk beroperasi sekitar satu bulan setelah Dencun, “hampir semua validator” telah menghentikan dukungan untuk Goerli.
