The Starknet community has approved the proposal for the v0.14.0 update, marking a significant step toward the decentralization of the network. The new version is scheduled to launch on the mainnet on September 1, 2025.
Main Changes in v0.14.0 Update
The v0.14.0 update includes the introduction of a multi-sequencer architecture and a Tendermint consensus mechanism. Among the innovations is a pre-confirmation feature to speed up transactions, as well as an EIP-1559-based fee market aimed at enhancing the user experience.
Features of the New Consensus Mechanism
The new architecture will allow multiple sequencers to sequentially generate blocks and achieve consensus. Thanks to the pre-approval system, transactions will receive status information within milliseconds, significantly increasing transaction processing speed.
Decentralization Plans for Starknet
In the long term, Starknet plans to gradually decentralize the management of sequencers and provers, starting with the v0.14.0 update. The ultimate goal is to establish a truly decentralized sequencer and proof structure.
The v0.14.0 update represents a significant improvement for Starknet, opening new opportunities for decentralization and enhancing the efficiency of the network.
