my vision for the Starknet L1. Stripe gave every business an account. this chain gives every business and every agent one. the owner writes the rules into the account itself. who may spend, how much, on what, when it stops. and one proof can settle millions of those payments, so the cost per payment drops the more agents pay. quantum safety and privacy come standard on the next generation of chains. the account is what i'd build the whole chain around.

Private borrowing is now live on Opus 🥷 Deposit collateral, borrow CASH, and repay your debt without publicly linking your position to your main wallet. Powered by STRK20 Shadow Accounts.

🚨 Starknet is voting on whether to leave Ethereum. A 7-day poll opened today. Same week @StarkWareLtd shipped Shadow Accounts and launched private Polymarket trading. Quantum exit plan, privacy stack, prediction markets, @EliBenSasson on all of it, live at 9am ET today. Join us 👇

Regarding point (iii) - I respectfully disagree. Quantum computers need to advance on three things: - Better hardware - Better error correcting codes for qubits - Algorithms with fewer qubits AI is improving each one of these three things. Worth checking out the ECDSA/fail project. It shows clearly that AI can reduce the number of qubits needed to, basically do break ECDSA.

We’d like to still be routing your trades in ten years And for your wallet to still belong to you. That’s why we want to explore Starknet taking control of its post-quantum security roadmap. We’re voting YES to asking StarkWare for a formal L1 proposal.

Should Starknet become an L1? Time for the community to speak. A non-binding governance vote is now open. Becoming an L1 is a big deal. So is post-quantum security. We want to hear what the community thinks. So vote, share your thoughts, let us know where you stand.

Private swaps, and now private LPing 🥷 Shadow Accounts are now live on Ekubo, allowing anyone to provide liquidity, earn trading fees, and manage LP positions without publicly linking their activity to their main wallet. A private DEX, without fragmenting liquidity.

OffMarket is the only way to trade prediction markets privately. It only takes a few seconds, with access to Polymarket liquidity while keeping your trades private. Stay OffMarket.

100% agree with @lordOfAFew My take is: 1. It's already consensus that ZK-STARKs are the endgame for blockchain 2. Cairo is optimized for ZK-STARKs 3. The more people rely on AI for coding, the more we'll shift from choosing a programming language because we know it to choosing one because it's best suited for what we're building. Build with Cairo.

1/ A quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction now costs ~$59. From $320 to $59 in just a few weeks: an 82% reduction driven by developers and AI agents. Our $20,000 QSB Autoresearch Challenge with @yukonresearch and @eigenlabs has officially ended 🧵

The next generation of blockchains will need privacy built in. @hazbobo1 from Aztec Labs is joining us at Privacy Summit 🇸🇬 Come to Singapore on October 7 for a full day of discussions on the future of onchain privacy:

1/ Our quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction cost ~$320 in GPU compute. Can you bring that down? Today, we’re launching the Quantum-Safe Bitcoin Autoresearch Challenge in partnership with @yukonresearch and @eigenlabs. Over $20,000 in rewards for improving the code:

Bitcoin and Ethereum’s quantum threat is getting harder to ignore. In roughly two months, 100+ participants and their AI agents drove down the estimated cost of the arithmetic of a potential quantum attack on elliptic-curve cryptography. Their work is detailed in the new paper, with seven co-authors from StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation. The challenge focused on a calculation that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer would use to recover private keys from exposed public keys. The result: an 86.1% reduction from the challenge’s starting resource score, which combines logical qubits and key computational operations. That score was also over 50% below Google Quantum AI’s reported result for this calculation, although the circuit setups and measurement methods differ. In simple terms, algorithm improvements can reduce the resources needed for an important part of a quantum attack. For StarkWare, this complements our broader work on quantum security in blockchain, from STARK proofs and Starknet’s post-quantum roadmap to our successful quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction on mainnet. We’re helping measure the threat and build the defenses. Congratulations to our seven co-authors across @StarkWareLtd and @StarknetFndn: @odin_free, @8am1am, @franklyteddy, @akashneelesh, @0xLucqs, @robertkp13, and @tarekeleter, alongside the wider community. Read the paper:

One of the Bitcoin community’s top priorities should be achieving post-quantum security as soon as possible. It’s already a top priority for us. And Starknet will be post-quantum secure by 2027.

1/ The Private Sprint is in full swing on Starknet. And it's showing one thing clearly: anyone can now build pretty much any private app they have in mind, with the tools and support they need. Here's a sample of the projects being built on top of STRK20s 🧵
