Recently, Ethereum founder Vitalik revealed in a public setting that Ethereum is about to undergo a major upgrade. This statement has sparked widespread attention and discussion across the entire crypto community.



From a technical perspective, the upgrade plan mentioned by Vitalik is indeed significant. Looking back at Ethereum's development history, the Merge upgrade has successfully reduced energy consumption by 99%, representing a qualitative leap. If the upcoming Danksharding plan is truly implemented, transaction throughput could increase by a hundred times. What does this mean? It means on-chain interaction costs will be greatly reduced, and user experience will see a qualitative improvement.

Understanding the importance of this upgrade can be achieved by looking at the current on-chain ecosystem scale—Ethereum has already locked in approximately $40 billion in funds, with daily active users reaching hundreds of thousands. Once performance bottlenecks are broken through, NFT ecosystems, blockchain games, and DeFi protocols will have greater development space. Historical data shows that before every major technological upgrade, the market tends to react noticeably.

The current question is, the specific timeline and technical details of this upgrade are still to be further disclosed by the official sources. But based on Vitalik's style of communication, this is not just empty talk; there are already relatively mature technical plans in place.

What do you think about the potential impact of this upgrade? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Speaking of Merge being 99% complete, is Danksharding really coming? Then I think I’d better wait and see, Vitalik has played this game a few times. Breaking the pot and sinking the boat for another upgrade—if it really achieves a hundredfold throughput, I’ll buy like crazy. It’s always "to be disclosed," but I think the timing just hasn’t been set yet. Stop with this suspense marketing bullshit. They also said the Merge would be revolutionary, but what’s the result? The ecosystem is still the same. Getting things right early on is what really matters. $40 billion is indeed top-tier, but what about ecosystem activity? Uh...

Hmm... A hundredfold increase in throughput sounds great, but Bear is more concerned about when it will actually go live. Danksharding is indeed not just talk; the 99% energy reduction data from the previous Merge is right there. Is it another season of pie-in-the-sky promises? It feels like every time they say "soon," we end up waiting again... but this time, the data support is indeed strong. With a lock-up volume of 40 billion, once it really kicks off, there should be some movement. Let's stick to dollar-cost averaging and wait. Wait a minute, if this really lands, how much could Gas fees drop? Let's do some logical deduction... I'm a bit excited. Mature technical solutions ≠ mature deployment, everyone. Bear's experience is that there's often a six-month surprise between the two. Don't be swayed by public opinion. Whether the upgrade is good or not, we should look at actual data. It's still too early to discuss. In a bear market, hearing news like this should be cautious. It often signals that the whales are starting to distribute. Vitalik's recent statement is indeed a bit different, not passionate but steady and technical in style. The real good news is when it actually lands. All current guesses are just betting on Vitalik's credibility.

danksharding sounds promising but let me see the actual code first. too many "imminent upgrades" turn into vaporware... needs immediate scrutiny on implementation details tbh

It's Danksharding again. Vitalik, this guy, loves to tease, talking up a storm but still hasn't announced when it will go live. Wait, can throughput really increase a hundredfold? Then gas fees would be gone. I should have gone all in long ago. Honestly, I don't trust those official statements. I'll just watch the market reaction. When hot money starts pouring in, that's when I'll believe it's really here.

Hmm... Here we go again, making big promises every time, and what’s the result? Can Danksharding really be delivered on time? I am a bit skeptical. Let’s wait and see. Anyway, my gas fees are still insanely high. Performance optimization should have been done long ago. The NFT and gaming ecosystems have been waiting for this moment. No matter how good the words, ultimately it depends on the implementation of the code. Empty talk at most. With a TVL of $40 billion, if this upgrade is truly successful, it will be revolutionary. By the way, is Vitalik brewing some shocking move again... The 99% reduction in energy consumption during the Merge was really impressive. If this time it can truly achieve a hundredfold throughput, I’ll go all in. I just fear it’s another two-year wait. The biggest pet peeve in crypto is missed deadlines. Let’s wait until the official roadmap is released. Right now, the information is too vague.

Honestly, if Danksharding really gets implemented, I would go all in. A hundredfold increase in throughput, isn't that bragging... If gas fees drop, who is still messing around on L2? Wait, what about the schedule? How much longer do we have to wait? I've heard Vitalik's explanation too many times.

Here we go again with the hype. Last time they said the same about the Merge, and what happened? Still stuck in the same place. --- If Danksharding really gets implemented, I’ll eat my hat. Let’s see when the release schedule is first. --- A hundredfold increase in throughput? I don’t buy it. Gas fees should have been lowered long ago. --- Locking in $40 billion—does that number sound real or exaggerated? Feels inflated. --- Let’s wait and see. But to be fair, this time VB didn’t fool us, so I’m a bit hopeful. --- A performance breakthrough can save the ecosystem? Laughable. The real problem is at the application layer. --- Entering now or waiting until the upgrade—this is the real question. --- Instead of worrying about the upgrade, let’s see what projects are still worth investing in right now. --- Two days ago, a friend said Ethereum was doomed. Now there’s an upgrade—how should we play this wave? --- Historical data response? Last time it was about financial statement losses, haha.
