On Starknet.

Starknet is uniquely positioned to become fully post-quantum secure. And now you can verify why. Explore our migration, breakthroughs, and research in the Starknet Post-Quantum Hub.

Shipping season never ends 🥷 1⃣ Native privacy for all assets is now live on Starknet - STRK20s is fully live on Mainnet, a privacy pool integrated at the protocol level, finally bringing practical privacy onchain: the lowest privacy fee on the market, fast UX, one-click at the wallet level, deep DeFi integrations, and the same liquidity as public markets, for all ERC-20s - As of today, you can shield, unshield, and access private swaps directly from Ready and Xverse wallets. - The ecosystem is already leveraging it: private USDC flows highlighted by Circle, 2 PoCs built by StarkWare (private Payroll and private KYC), and Zylith, a new call auction dark pool built on top of STRK20s. - For builders: the privacy SDK will be open-sourced very soon, and the Starknet Foundation launched Proof, an 8-week incubator for high-potential privacy teams. Applications close 10 July, so be quick. 2⃣ Starknet is becoming a real bet on post-quantum security StarkWare published a roadmap to make Starknet an end-to-end post-quantum-secure chain well before the Q-Day deadline: - Phase 0 (the foundation): STARK proofs already post-quantum secure, S2morrow's post-quantum wallet PoC already running on Mainnet, and Native Account Abstraction making wallet migration smooth for everyone. - Phase 1 (in progress): make new activity post-quantum secure by default. Work started, ~2 months to completion. - Phase 2 (next): give existing contracts a path to post-quantum durability, without breaking interfaces or forcing painful migrations. 1-2 months after phase 1. - Phase 3 (depending on Ethereum): the two remaining inherited surfaces, bridge messaging and blob data availability through KZG commitments, will be resolved as soon as Ethereum migrates its own stack. 3⃣ Better performance, more post-quantum security Starknet v0.14.3 goes live on Mainnet Monday, 6 July, bringing: - Keccak support for client-side proving, enabling virtual private txs signed with EVM signatures - A quantum-resistant SNOS hash, with Blake replacing Pedersen - Block times down from 2 to 1.5 seconds - A dynamic L2 gas base fee for more adaptive pricing during congestion Note: an 8-minute downtime at 8:10am UTC on Monday, and some breaking changes for builders, read the pre-release notes! 4⃣ The ecosystem keeps shipping - STRK is now listed on Robinhood - Extended launched its spot market offering, starting with BTC, ETH, and USDT, with spot and perpetuals sharing a single margin account. We also know the next 6 months' focus: decentralization, ecosystem expansion, the transition to a community-owned protocol, and a massive partnership to be announced (eToro announced yesterday). - Xverse now supports Ledger on Mobile, any user can now use the leading hardware wallet on Xverse mobile to access Starknet. - Medieval Tech became the first Starknet project accepted into the NVIDIA Inception program, with Octopi, a real-time spatial intelligence platform built in parallel of the AMMA prediction market. - Troves released a WBTC boosted vault: a one-click advanced DeFi strategy yielding ~7% - Vesu launched Explore: track positions, inspect pools, and monitor liquidations in one place. - 5 new projects launched on Mainnet this month: ArcX (Pendle-like mechanism on top of Extended) - Starkscan (explorer combining an explorer, an API surface, and an agent workflow layer) - Deadeye (Distribution Markets) - Gaffer (fantasy soccer game) - DeFa (RWA project) 5⃣ The numbers keep improving - Starknet crossed 300M transactions processed on Mainnet - STRK staking reached 1.4B STRK, ~22% of the circulating supply. - Starknet is still the #1# L2 by developer activity across the Ethereum ecosystem. - In only a few days: ArcX hit $400,000 TVL on top of Extended, Hyper xSTRK by Troves filled all its tiers, and the privacy pool reached 5k txs and 100 new users per day, with $500 in daily revenue, during the Shield rush campaign. Can’t stop, won’t stop.

StarkWare prioritized post-quantum security from an early stage. We continue to do so with Starknet’s PQS roadmap. Much of the underlying cryptography is already PQS, which means a relatively shorter path to ensuring the entire stack is quantum-safe. Starknet is future-proofed

shield rush campaign has now come to an end, and yall shud be able to see what it did to few metrics we wanted to show how privacy works on top of starknet, and hence we ran a campaign on top of a very basic and necessary feature. "shielding your assets" and well this turned out to be so crazy that we saw a huge increase in revenue, transactions, shielded TVL, viewing key wallets, deposits, withdrawals. privacy is here to stay and now combine privacy with > post quantum secure > native account abstraction > stwo (fast prover in the world) > a network with dual staking (btc with about 709 staked and strk 1.4 billion basically 21.4% of circulating supply) > and more (way too many stuffs to say) now let me present you all of that within one word. starknet.

Shield Rush has officially ended. Over the past week, thousands of private transactions were completed on Starknet, with many users trying onchain privacy for the first time. This was only Phase 1. Phase 2 is coming in a few weeks, and will go one step further: private swaps powered by @avnu_fi and @EkuboProtocol.

Q Day is coming. The cryptography securing crypto today has an expiry date. Starknet has a head start: hash-based STARKs, Native AA that lets security evolve without protocol changes, and post-quantum wallets already deployable today. Starknet's Post-Quantum roadmap is here:

1/ Starknet is a bet on post-quantum security. Today, we’re publishing the roadmap to make that bet real. The goal? An end-to-end post-quantum secure Starknet before Q-day 🧵

The last day of Shield Rush Week 1 is now live 🚨 24 hours left to complete your final quest and secure your 7-day streak. If you made it this far, don’t break it now.

Onchain cash, built for real-world scale. Powered by STRK20s and USDC on Starknet. Private stablecoins are one of the next major unlocks for onchain finance, and we’re building the infrastructure to make it possible.

StarkWare is looking for teams already hitting privacy limits on public chains. Most interested in: > stablecoin payouts where merchant volumes become visible > OTC trades where size, route, or counterparty leaks > tokenized credit where borrower terms should stay private > collateral and repo flows where movement reveals strategy > wallets/custody that need private execution with audit trails If this is your problem, we want to talk. 20-25 min product validation call, DM us.

Battle-tested in production since 2018, powering native privacy at planetary scale, all while remaining post-quantum secure. STARKs are one of the most powerful technologies in crypto. First, learn how they work. Then contact us, and build with them.
