Ethereum Berlin Upgrade is happening now at 14/04/2021
The Berlin upgrade introduces the following EIPs (Ethereum Improvement Protocol) to the Ethereum network:
EIP-2565: ModExp Gas Cost
Lowers the cost of the ModExp (0x00..05) precompile;
EIP-2929: Gas cost increases for state access opcodes
Increases gas cost for SLOAD, CALL, BALANCE, EXT and SELFEDESTRUCT when used for the first time in a transaction;
EIP-2718: Typed Transaction Envelope
Introduces a new transaction type that is an envelope to enable easier support for multiple transaction types;
EIP-2930: Optional access lists
Adds a transaction type which contains an access list, a list of addresses and storage keys that the transaction plans to access. This mitigates some of the gas cost increases introduced by EIP-2929.
