Starknet has approved a major upgrade to its network, moving toward a more decentralized system. The new v0.14.0 update introduces a multi-sequencer architecture with Tendermint consensus, which is designed to enhance the network’s resilience and scalability.
This update will also significantly improve user experience by adding a pre-confirmation system that provides instant transaction status updates. A new fee mechanism, similar to Ethereum’s EIP-1559, will also be implemented to optimize resource pricing.
To complete the upgrade, Starknet’s mainnet may experience a brief, 15-minute outage. This is the first step in a long-term plan to fully decentralize both sequencers and provers, solidifying Starknet’s position as a leading Layer-2 solution.
