Starknet is preparing for a technological breakthrough: upgrade v0.14.0 starts on August 18
🧱 The Starknet network is preparing the most important update in its history. On August 18, the v0.14.0 upgrade will be launched on the mainnet, which will radically change the architecture:
🔹 Distributed sequencing:
Three independent block builders will form a chain using the Tendermint algorithm — a first in L2 on Ethereum. This is a step towards true decentralization and network resilience.
🔹 Block acceleration by 5 times:
Block formation time will be reduced from 30 to 6 seconds. This will enhance Starknet's competition with Optimism, Arbitrum, and Base.
🔹 New fee system:
The EIP-1559 model will be implemented, providing more predictable transaction costs and improving UX.
📌 Why this matters:
— Starknet will become one of the fastest and most decentralized L2 networks
— Improved throughput and predictable fees will attract DeFi and NFT developers
— A successful upgrade could increase interest from investors and funds preparing for the next phase of the L2 race
⚠️ It is important to monitor the market reaction and the StarkWare team: a successful launch could become a catalyst for growth and new positioning of Starknet in the Ethereum ecosystem.
