Starknet (STRK)

StarkWare is committed to ensuring Starknet will be quantum-ready. Why go through the effort? Because the migration process will be short, at least compared to other chains, thanks to ZK-STARKs and native AA, and the value -- reassuring Starknet is future-proofed -- is high. https://t.co/6lK8V6xjnX

Breaking: Starknet v0.14.3 is going live on Mainnet today 🚨 The upgrade is currently planned for 8:10am UTC, with expected downtime of up to 8 minutes. This is a performance, fee-fairness, and infrastructure hardening upgrade. What changes: > Block times drop by 25%, from 2 seconds to 1.5 seconds, reducing network latency. > Starknet closes another post-quantum roadmap item by replacing Pedersen with BLAKE for the OS config hash in the Starknet Core Contract. > Dynamic L2 gas base fee goes live, following SNIP-35, making pricing more adaptive during congestion (based on $STRK price) > Keccak support is added for client-side proving. For users, this means a faster and more stable network. For the ecosystem, this means Starknet’s definition of a full block now better matches real network limits, improving stability without unnecessary price spikes. For builders and infra operators, there are a few important actions to take: > Upgrade full nodes to the latest recommended versions: Juno 0.16.4 or Pathfind

Starknet v0.14.3 is going live on Mainnet this Wednesday, the 8th of July.\n\nThis upgrade improves fee predictability, lowers latency, adds proving support for new privacy flows, and includes breaking changes some projects must prepare for.\n\nHere’s what changes and how to be prepared 🧵

How Extended is building differently When Extended launched, the aim was to make the product trust-minimised, seamless, high-performance, and broad enough to support perpetuals, spot, yield products and portfolio margin. That foundation is now in place. The protocol combines a high-performance trading experience with on-chain settlement and verification. User funds are held in smart contracts, while the trading logic and risk engine are implemented on-chain. Every transaction is verified and settled directly on @Starknet - transparent, verifiable, and open source. One part of that foundation has remained more centralised than the target architecture: the sequencer. Extended is now working to decentralise the sequencing layer, separating transaction sequencing from settlement. The settlement chain will continue to handle custody, with final verification and settlement performed on the underlying public blockchain, while sequencing will be performed by Extended's native network. On-chain order books exist t

10,000 quantum-secure and private TPS capacity by 2027. Starknet.

The future of Starknet isn't only faster execution or lower fees. It's giving users more control. Control over assets. Control over identity. Control over financial privacy. STRK20 is an important step toward making privacy a native capability instead of an optional feature. https://t.co/OWlImA5Nt1

Name a token Trump didn't mess with. I'll start $STRK

Halfway through 2026. Shipping never stopped. Looking back at the first six months, it's clear that Starknet wasn't chasing narratives—it was building every layer needed for the next phase. Interoperability became a reality > STRK expanded beyond Starknet, reaching Solana and more cross-chain ecosystems. >LayerZero integration connected Starknet to a broader interoperability network. > Open Intents became compatible with Cairo, bringing Ethereum's intent infrastructure closer to Starknet. > Cross-chain UX improved significantly through AVNU and StarkGate. Privacy evolved from research to Mainnet >The vision started with the STRK20s technical paper and the announcement of strkBTC. > Shinobi introduced the protocol changes required for native privacy. > strkBTC launched as the first Bitcoin wrapper with built-in compliant privacy. > STRK20s is now live, enabling confidential balances and private transfers for every ERC-20 on Starknet. > Wallets, DeFi protocols and builders are already integrating native pr
