The Starknet Foundation is introducing optimizations that will run parallel to Ethereum’s Dencun upgrade, aimed at significantly lowering transaction fees on the Layer 2 network.

The measures include the release of Starknet’s version 0.13.1 today, which will capitalize on EIP-4844 after Dencun goes live on the mainnet tomorrow. This update will transition Starknet from using the costlier "calldata" method for data transactions to cost-efficient "blobs" transaction type, offering a direct path to fee reduction.

These blob transactions, also called EIP-4844 (or proto-danksharding), are planned to go live on the Ethereum mainnet with the Dencun upgrade activated at epoch 269568 tomorrow at 13:55 UTC.

Blobs will be an additive feature on the network, increasing data availability without …
