StarkWare Releases Starknet v0.14.3 With BLAKE2s-256 Hash Change
The update allows accounts to migrate individually without a chain-wide signing upgrade.

StarkWare released Starknet v0.14.3 with a switch from Pedersen to BLAKE2s-256, while allowing accounts to migrate one by one without requiring a chain-wide signing upgrade.
Starknet is an Ethereum Layer 2 network. Its broader goal is full post-quantum security in 2027.
Separately, StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation are studying a possible independent Layer 1. StarkWare plans to publish a draft white paper in November, while the Foundation will post findings to its governance forum as the work progresses. The independent Layer 1 study is distinct from the v0.14.3 release.
