it\u2019s a foundational shift that alters how blocks are built, validated, and confirmed across the protocol.<\/p>\n<h2>Decentralisation takes centre stage in Starknet v0.14.0<\/h2>\n<p>Starknet v0.14.0 is being described by developers and community members alike as a technological leap forward.<\/p>\n<p>One of its cornerstone upgrades is the introduction of distributed sequencers.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of relying on a centralised block builder, three independent sequencers will now take turns producing blocks, reaching consensus through the Tendermint protocol.<\/p>\n<p>This change not only enhances resilience but also aligns Starknet with the ethos of trustless systems.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside decentralisation, the upgrade reduces block times dramatically, from about 30 seconds to just six seconds.<\/p>\n<p>This makes Starknet significantly more competitive in the crowded <a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/ethereum\/what-is-ethereum\/\">Ethereum<\/a> Layer 2 space, where fast and cheap transactions are increasingly non-negotiable for users and developers.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond decentralisation and faster blocks, Starknet v0.14.0 brings several under-the-hood improvements aimed at creating a more robust and efficient ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>It introduces a new fee market based on Ethereum\u2019s EIP-1559 model, providing more predictability in transaction costs.<\/p>\n<p>V0.14.0 will also support pre-confirmed transactions, which should drastically improve the user experience for DeFi apps by reducing confirmation uncertainty.<\/p>\n<h2>The STRK token price slides<\/h2>\n<p>Although the technology is improving, STRK has struggled in the market.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past 24 hours, the token dropped by 2.6% to $0.1322, with a 7-day loss of 11.7%.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" data-source=\"CoinJournal\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-325288\" src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Starknet-price-chart.png\" alt=\"Starknet price chart\" width=\"1303\" height=\"589\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This decline coincides with uncertainty around the launch timeline and broader bearish sentiment in the crypto market.<\/p>\n<p>On-chain data shows STRK is now down 75% from its all-time high of $4.41 reached in February 2024.<\/p>\n<p>However, the drop in price may not entirely reflect the strength of the network upgrade.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, major protocol improvements tend to spark renewed investor interest after the upgrade successfully goes live.<\/p>\n<p>If the launch on August 18 proceeds smoothly, a shift in sentiment could follow shortly after.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-banner  container  pt-1\" data-partner=\"bitcoinpenguin\">\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinpenguins.io\/en?utm_source=coinjournal&amp;utm_medium=banner&amp;utm_campaign=header\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow sponsored noopener\"><br \/>\n            <img src=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/wp-content\/themes\/c1-base\/dist\/img\/ad\/bitcoinpenguin\/en.png\"\/><br \/>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"post-meta\">\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Share this article<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Categories<\/h6>\n<hr class=\"mb-6\"\/>\n<h6 class=\"text-3xl  mb-4  text-green-300\">Tags<\/h6>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/coinjournal.net\/news\/starknet-v0-14-0-mainnet-launch-moved-to-august-18-strk-drops\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : CoinJournal: Latest Crypto News, Altcoin News and Cryptocurrency Comparison ) Starknet v0.14.0 mainnet launch delayed to August 18, 2025.
