Ethereum's Dencun Upgrade: Gains, Reduced Fees, and Block Production Impact

Ethereum's upcoming Dencun upgrade has led to significant gains for layer-2 scaling solutions like Arbitrum, Optimism, and Polygon, with Arbitrum's ARB token rising 11% and holding 41% of the L2 scaling marketshare, while Optimism's OP token has gained 3% and Polygon's MATIC token has surged 18% in the past week.
