Ethereum’s proto-danksharding to make rollups 10x cheaper — Consensys zkEVM Linea head
Consensys zkEVM Linea head Nicolas Liochon says speed and execution will continue to increase as it tweaks its Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution. Zero-knowledge (ZK) proof solutions have proved critical in helping scale the Ethereum ecosystem, but proto-danksharding is expected to drastically reduce the cost of rollups , according to Consensys’ zkEVM Linea head Nicolas Liochon. Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph Magazine editor Andrew Fenton during Korea Blockchain Week, Liochon estimated that proto-danksharding could further reduce rollup costs by 10 times. Proto-danksharding, also known by its Ethereum Improvement Proposal (EIP) identifier EIP-4844, is aimed at reducing the cost of rollups , which typically batch transactions and data off-chain and submit computational proof to the Ethereum blockchain. The Ethereum Foundation has yet to nail down an expected launch date for proto-danksharding , but development and testing are still ongoing. As Liochon explained, Linea delivers ...
