Starknet will optimize code to save costs after Dencun upgrade
The Starknet Foundation is introducing optimizations parallel to the Ethereum Dencun upgrade aimed at significantly reducing transaction fees on layer 2 networks. These measures include the release of version 0.13.1 of Starknet today, which will utilize EIP-4844 after Dencun goes live on the mainnet tomorrow. This update will transition Starknet from using the costly "calldata" method for data transactions to the cost-effective "blob" transaction type, providing a direct avenue for cost reduction. These blob transactions, also known as EIP-4844 (or proto-danksharding), are planned to go live on the Ethereum mainnet and activate the Dencun upgrade at 13:55 UTC tomorrow, 269568 time. Blobs will become an additional feature on the network, improving data availability without affecting existing Ethereum infrastructure, thus enabling cheaper transactions on layer 2 aggregators like Starknet.
Starknet Foundation announces formation of Gaming Council to advance its gaming ecosystem
