Protodanksharding is a preliminary action towards the complete execution of Danksharding, a more effective kind of sharding for Ethereum.
Unlike the initially prepared sharding method, Danksharding prevents the intricate procedure of splitting Ethereum into several fragment chains. Rather, it presents information blobs, short-lived information packages connected to blocks, efficient in holding more information than blocks however temporarily saved or accessed by the Ethereum virtual maker.
The upgrade is especially helpful for Layer 2 networks like Arbitrum and Optimism, JPMorgan’s experts restated, as it supplies an extra momentary information area to increase network throughput and decrease deal costs for Layer 2 networks on Ethereum.

After the 2020 halving, the experts kept in mind, the ratio of Bitcoin’s market value to production expense reduced and stated a comparable relocation after the 2024 halving would be affordable.
