Upcoming Upgrade: Starknet version 0.14.0 is set to activate on September 1, introducing decentralized sequencing, pre-confirmations, and a new fee market.
Enhanced User Experience: The upgrade will feature faster transaction confirmation times with a new "pre-confirmations" status, allowing users to see results in under a second despite block times remaining at 4 to 6 seconds.
Fee Structure Changes: The new fee market will be based on Ethereum's EIP-1559, improving cost predictability by decoupling Starknet fees from Ethereum gas prices.
Recent Developments: This upgrade follows significant ecosystem milestones, including the launch of Extended DEX and proposals for Bitcoin staking, highlighting Starknet's focus on decentralization and scalability.
