Starknet, an Ethereum layer-2 blockchain, has successfully deployed Starknet Quantum Leap upgrade, marking a significant milestone in the blockchain’s journey towards faster and more efficient transactions. This upgrade was implemented following a community vote that saw an overwhelming majority in favor of its deployment.
Starknet Quantum Leap: A New Era for Speedier Blockchain Transactions
The Quantum Leap upgrade is designed to increase the number of transactions per second (TPS) and reduce the confirmation times for the blockchain. The upgrade was initially tested on Starknet’s Goerli testnet before being approved for mainnet deployment by a community vote.
The results of the testing phase were promising, with TPS peaking at 90 and consistently maintaining a rate of 37 TPS.
The Impact of Quantum Leap on Starknet’s Performance
Despite these impressive figures, Starknet’s CEO Uri Kolodny acknowledged that the TPS rate fell short of the triple-digit target that was initially set. However, he expressed optimism about the upgrade’s impact on Starknet’s performance, stating that the results exceeded their expectations. The time-to-inclusion, or the time needed to confirm and report a transaction, was also reduced to about 10 seconds.
What’s Next for Starknet?
Starknet’s roadmap includes several other upgrades planned for later in the year. These upgrades aim to make the blockchain more scalable by reducing transaction fees and shortening block intervals. With the successful deployment of the Quantum Leap upgrade, Starknet is well on its way to becoming a leading player in the blockchain industry.
