The Starknet team behind L2-project launched the Quantum Leap upgrade, aimed at increasing the system’s throughput, as The Block reports.
During testing in Goerli the developers demonstrated a stable result of 37 TPS with occasional spikes to 90 TPS, compared with the current 10 TPS.
At its peak, the metric reached three-digit levels. The team expects to reach this level by the third quarter.
Another improvement from Quantum Leap reduced latency to 10 seconds under standard conditions.
The StarkWare, which oversees the project, expects the improvements to help scale Ethereum applications in areas such as DeFi and gaming.
This year, version 13 of the platform is also expected, which is expected to reduce transaction costs.
In a subsequent update, users will be able to pay for high-priority transactions. This will foster competition for block space in the L2 network.
Earlier this year, analyst Colin Wu saw signs in StarkNet’s roadmap of preparation for an airdrop of a utility token in 2024.
