Ethereum’s Proto-Danksharding upgrade aims to reduce transaction costs by improving scalability and network efficiency. This upgrade will allow the Ethereum network to handle more transactions per second, leading to reduced congestion and lower fees. If successful, Proto-Danksharding could make Ethereum more competitive in the blockchain space, particularly for applications requiring high throughput. However, the full impact will depend on how smoothly the upgrade is implemented and how quickly developers and users adopt the new solution.
