The post Crust Network Announces Launch of EthDA Testnet appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Crust Network has announced the official launch of the EthDA Testnet. EthDA enhances Data Availability (DA) for Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) solutions. It also reduces costs and congestion using EIP-4844. This new testnet is set to significantly improve the efficiency and scalability of Ethereum’s ecosystem. 🎉We’re thrilled to announce the official launch of the EthDA Testnet! EthDA enhances #DataAvailability (DA) for Ethereum L2s, reducing costs and congestion with EIP-4844. Dive in and explore seamless DA solutions⬇️ pic.twitter.com/M8DjhJ4kJc — Crust Network (@CrustNetwork) June 28, 2024 EthDA Tackles High Gas Prices and Congestion on Ethereum L1 EthDA aims at developing a strong DA network for the fostering of Layer 2 solutions on the Ethereum platform. In response to high gas prices and the risk of congestion on Ethereum L1, EthDA employs zk-rollup and Blob-based DA interfaces to provide an Ethereum solution for high gas costs. It optimizes scalability and cost, as well as security, making EthDA a valuable addition to the Ethereum network. Several factors catalyzed the conception of EthDA. Ethereum has adopted a roll-up focused approach, solutions such as roll-ups rely extensively on Ethereum for DA. As these L2 solutions emerge, there is a requirement for various and large DA solutions. There are various DA solutions currently in the works, such as Ethereum data shards and blob transactions based on danksharding (EIP-4844 proto-danksharding). Also, there are other independent Alt-DA solutions in the works such as Celestia, EigenDA, Avail and many more. EthDA’s New Testnet Promises Better Solutions for Polygon Builders and Users The expansion of the L2 ecosystem and its versatility resulted in the demands for bigger scaled DA solutions. This demand includes validiums, optimiums, volition, L3s, application-specific chains, and generalized roll-ups. EthDA intends to fulfill this need and take advantage of the huge potential in the area of Data Availability.…
