Starknet v0.14.4: larger proofs and new compatibility requirements
Starknet’s official register lists the mainnet upgrade to v0.14.4 as completed on October 6, 2026, at 08:13 UTC. The notes published on September 9 had projected October 5, subject to governance approval.
The main improvement expands SNIP-36: an application can bundle computations that exceed the usual transaction limit and submit them as a cryptographic proof, within the protocol’s constraints. This creates room for applications with heavier computational workloads.
The notes estimate that generating large proofs can take up to two minutes, and requires a dedicated proving path. The additional capacity does not automatically make every operation faster.
Gas weights are also changing to bring fees closer to actual costs, and six legacy query interfaces are being removed. Integrators should review their tools: proofs generated with 0.14.3 are rejected by the new verifier, and fee estimates must be calculated using the updated version.
Market snapshot: on Binance Spot, STRK traded at 0.08426 USDT (+13.83% in 24 hours) on October 10 at 14:50 UTC, compared with ETH’s +0.76%. The rise does not prove that the upgrade caused it; volatility persists.
