Ethereum: the hard fork that will bring Dencun to the mainnet
It will be an actual hard fork of the Ethereum blockchain, although there is no expectation of a chain split.
Simply all Ethereum nodes from that moment will start using the new modified protocol that incorporates the changes made by Dencun, namely the EIP-4844.
In fact, this is not a minor update, but one that introduces new features that were not present until today.
The most interesting is the so-called proto-danksharding that lays the foundation for the future addition of the true danksharding.
