According to Foresight News, Ethereum layer-2 scaling solution Starknet has announced plans to make changes to its Starknet Feeder gateway in the fourth quarter of 2023. The company will cease providing services for various types of queries, retaining only endpoints related to synchronization for full nodes. At that time, the Starknet Feeder gateway will serve as a gateway for querying Starknet's centralized sequencer state.
Starknet suggests that developers shift to API services or full nodes, such as Pathfinder, Juno, and Papyrus. The company states that this is only a temporary solution until full nodes supporting Starknet's JSON-RPC mature and can meet the ecosystem's demands. Transitioning to full nodes and API services signifies a move from a centralized solution to a decentralized, resilient, and efficient system.
