Blockchain platform Starknet recently released a significant update, with its v0.13.2 version now available on the testnet. This upgrade introduces two core features: parallel execution and block bundling, aimed at optimizing the network's performance and efficiency. The Starknet team plans to deploy these innovations to the mainnet on August 28th. Parallel execution allows multiple transactions to be processed simultaneously, significantly reducing waiting times. The block bundling feature further enhances the network's processing capabilities, making data transmission more efficient. These improvements mark another step forward for Starknet in achieving faster, more secure blockchain applications.
