Starknet announced on X platform that the Starknet feeder gateway will be modified in the fourth quarter of 2023 and will stop servicing multiple types of queries. It will only retain endpoints related to synchronization for full nodes. The feeder gateway acts as a gateway for querying the centralized sequencer of the Starknet state.
It was originally just a temporary solution until full nodes supporting JSON-RPC for Starknet matured and could meet the needs of the ecosystem. Transitioning to full nodes and API services means moving from a centralized solution to a decentralized, resilient, and efficient system that aligns with the principles of blockchain technology. Starknet developers are advised to switch to API services or full nodes such as Pathfinder, Juno, and Papyrus.
