This question is about which technical upgrades or protocol changes would most improve Starknet (SN).
- Reduce preconfirmations from 500ms to <300ms – Faster transaction confirmations, improving UX for users and dApps.
- Improve L1 finality from 6 hours to under 3 hours – Shorter time for transactions to be considered irreversible on Ethereum, lowering risk and improving usability.
- Reduce blocktime from 6 seconds to <2 seconds (on average) – Speeds up transaction inclusion and makes the network feel more responsive.
- Reduce costs by 2x – Lowers fees, making Starknet more attractive for smaller users and frequent activity.
- Add STRK burn mechanism – Introduces token burning, potentially creating deflationary pressure on STRK and aligning incentives.
- Add timeboost-like mechanism – Allows users to pay more for prioritized transaction ordering, useful for arbitrage or time-sensitive trades.
- Add in-protocol transaction scheduling service – Lets users or apps schedule transactions in advance directly at the protocol level.
- Enable zkLogin through stateful validate – Further improving user onboarding.
- Add transient storage – Provides temporary storage in transactions, reducing costs and complexity for developers.
- Add support for post-quantum signature schemes (e.g., Falcon) – Further future-proofs Starknet security against quantum computing threats.
