PANews reported on April 11 that Louis Guthmann, head of StarkWare product and market strategy, said on the X platform that Starknet will introduce parallelization in the next upgrade. By adding Block-STM (a parallel execution engine already adopted by Aptos) to the sorter, network performance is expected to increase from 100 TPS to 300-1000 TPS, which means a 3-10 times increase.
