Starknet v0.14.1 Goes Live on Mainnet With BLAKE Hash Standard, Faster Blocks and JSON-RPC 0.10

The upgrade prioritizes lower proof costs with smoother confirmations for developers and users.

Overview

  • Starknet deployed v0.14.1 to mainnet on Nov. 25 following its earlier testnet run, according to StarkWare.
  • The release replaces Poseidon with the BLAKE hash family for compiled_class_hash under SNIP-34, aligning with the Stwo prover to reduce proof costs.
  • The network adds logic to close blocks more quickly during quiet periods to shorten user wait times.
  • Nodes are adopting JSON-RPC v0.10.0 to standardize state diffs, events, and subscription outputs for indexers and tooling.
  • Despite the rollout, STRK trades near $0.13–$0.14 with roughly a 7‑day drop of about 36%, while on-chain data show TVL around $221M, stablecoins about $155–$156M, DEX volume near $28.6M over 24 hours, and perpetuals near $1.35B.
