The post Starknet v0.14.0 set to go live on mainnet Sep. 1 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Starknet is preparing to roll out one of its most significant upgrades yet, with version 0.14.0 scheduled for mainnet activation on Sep. 1.  Summary Starknet v0.14.0 will activate on Sept. 1, bringing decentralized sequencing, pre-confirmations, and a new fee market. The upgrade introduces faster transaction confirmation times, updated mempool design, and RPC 0.9.0 with improved statuses. Recent developments include the launch of Extended DEX, Bitcoin staking proposals, and a July transition to STRK as the gas token. The update, approved by community vote and confirmed in an Aug. 18 post on X, brings decentralized sequencing, faster confirmations, and a new fee market to the Ethereum (ETH) layer-2 network. Decentralized sequencing and pre-confirmations At the core of v0.14.0 is the move toward decentralized sequencing. Using Tendermint consensus, the network will alternate between multiple independent sequencers instead of relying solely on one. This change improves censorship resistance, ensures fair transaction ordering, and boosts fault tolerance. Starknet v0.14.0 has been approved by community vote ✅ – Decentralized sequencing infra (multi-sequencer, Tendermint consensus)– Pre-confirmations for subsecond UX– EIP-1559 fee market All coming to Mainnet on September 1st. pic.twitter.com/LT63Ed7SK1 — Starknet 🐺🐱 (@Starknet) August 18, 2025 To improve user experience with sub-second latency, the upgrade also adds a new transaction status called “pre-confirmations.” This system offers smoother performance even under high network traffic, with the majority of transactions achieving near-final confirmation in less than a second. Block times will remain between 4 to 6 seconds, but pre-confirmations allow users to see results much more quickly, making this upgrade a major step in lowering wait times for routine transactions. Fee market and technical enhancements Starknet (STRK) v0.14.0 employs a fee structure based on Ethereum’s EIP-1559, with a minimum base price for layer-2 gas set in FRI. This change reduces costs and increases predictability by cutting the…
