Starknet Hit Pause ⏸ but Prepares Something Big 🚀
In early September, Starknet literally stopped: the Grinta (v0.14.0) upgrade caused a four-hour outage, transactions froze, and STRK dropped 3%. It looked like a major setback… but the team has big plans ahead!
👉 This quarter, they’re introducing Bitcoin staking $BTC holders will be able to tokenize and delegate coins to Starknet validators to earn rewards. Next comes Staking v3, where validator rewards depend on block quality. And in 2026, Starknet aims to launch “native” bridges between $BTC and $ETH
For users, this means more ways to interact with crypto beyond speculation. Exchanges like WhiteBIT in Europe and global platforms like Coinbase and OKX are gateways that bring new tokens and staking features to millions. That’s not just marketing — it’s how L2 solutions become part of everyday crypto life.
Starknet has passed its stress test. Now the big question is: would you trust your BTC to an L2 staking protocol?
