Ethereum’s Dencun Upgrade Fails to Finalize on Goerli Testnet

Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade was launched at 6:32 UTC but failed to finalize on the Goerli testnet. It couldn’t reach a consensus due to low participation and some validators not updating their software. Developers will be fixing this issue soon

Finality means transactions can't be reversed once confirmed on a blockchain. A testnet, like Goerli, is used for testing before updates go live on the main network.

Dencun's trial on Goerli is a step towards a cheaper way to store data on Ethereum's main blockchain.
