March 13, 2024. The Cancun + Deneb upgrade ships proto-danksharding (EIP-4844) at block 19,426,587. Layer-2 data costs drop by an order of magnitude almost overnight; the chain's surface widens without splitting.
The single eNAT minted from the canonical anchor block of this event.
Block #19,426,587 is outside the range covered by the indexer behind this network. The mainnet indexer may not have backfilled this height yet. The curatorial frame below remains valid regardless.
Showing no neighbouring blocks returned from the indexer.
The blocks immediately adjacent to the anchor, fetched live from the indexer. The protocol layer has thousands more in this window — this is a curated visual cut.
Burn, hash and mint state come straight from the indexer. Blocks the indexer has no record of are silently dropped from this fold.
None of the neighbouring blocks around this anchor are covered by the active indexer. Switching to a network whose indexer covers this height will populate the fold automatically.
The reason a frontend would point at this block at all.
Dencun is the upgrade that made cheap rollup data a settled fact. It also added a new burn vector — blob base fee — that joins the calldata burn surveyed by eDMT. The protocol layer of eDMT chooses to look at one slice of the burn (the per-block base fee on canonical execution), and treats every other vector as out of scope. This hall sits next to Dencun to remind readers that what we tokenize is one specific slice, not all of Ethereum's burn.
The protocol layer is silent on history. The narrative is always supplied by readers.

Five halls, each centered on one moment of Ethereum since the EIP-1559 fork. Order is chronological; arrangement is editorial.
