If successfully activated, EIP-4844 is expected to reduce transaction costs for Layer 2 solutions, including Optimism and Arbitrum.Additionally, EIP-4844 has already been tested on four development networks. During the conference call, developers announced that a fifth test network will be launched this Friday. (The Block)
