On January 2nd, Starknet updated its 2024 roadmap. In the first quarter, it will reduce transaction fees on the v0.13.0 testnet and introduce a new transaction type called v3 transactions. Users can pay transaction fees with STRK. Additionally, on January 10th, Starknet will open a community vote to deploy these updates on the mainnet.

Furthermore, Starknet plans to use EIP-4844 to reduce Ethereum Layer1 data availability costs and intends to introduce a transaction fee market in version v0.14.0 to speed up transaction processing.
