Stark Net

Scaling without compromising. Innovating without permission. Decentralizing by design.

On Bitcoin and Ethereum.

This is Starknet.

Some DeFi use cases to try on Starknet:
> Limit orders on @EkuboProtocol
> DCA with @avnu_fi
> Leverage yield farming on @vesuxyz and @trovesfi
> Card payments via @ready_co
> Pay with STRK over Lightning network using @myBraavos
> Liquid staking on @endurfi
> Mint a Starknet's native stablecoins on @OpusMoney
> Vault strategy on @tradeparadex

you can just do things on Starknet

Ethereum + Bitcoin + CairoVM = Starknet

An L2 blending the best of Ethereum and Bitcoin with the most powerful provable VM in crypto.

Bitcoin staking is coming to Starknet, and the dedicated SNIP is now live on the Starknet community forum!

This SNIP explains the rationale and mechanism behind BTC staking on Starknet, and we are looking for feedback from the community.

The main takeaways:
> BTC holders will be able to stake their BTC on Starknet
> This will strengthen Starknet’s decentralization and security, by bringing BTC into Starknet’s economic security layer, and offering BTC a native onchain utility within the network
> BTC is proposed to account for up to 25% of validator staking power, while STRK remains the core asset securing Starknet (at least 75% validator power)
> Target launch: Q3 2025

We’re also introducing a beneficial alignment mechanism between BTC stakers and STRK staking.

Learn more about this important milestone here:

A new Starknet version, v0.13.6, is coming:
> Testnet on June 30 (next week!)
> Mainnet on July 8

This release is part of the roadmap to integrate S-Two, StarkWare’s next-gen STARK prover, into Starknet Mainnet. S-Two will reduce proving time from 24 min to under 3 min for 2B L2 gas blocks, while cutting proving costs by at least 2x. And this is just the MVP, further optimizations are already in the works.

While S-Two won't be live yet, v0.13.6 introduces key changes to make Starknet compatible with it.

This version will also:
> Enable resource counting
> Keep tx costs & UX unchanged

Note: Cairo Native is temporarily disabled on Testnet (it's not activated on Mainnet anyway), and we plan to reintegrate it later in Q3.

Starknet All Core Devs: Full nodes call meeting #29

CLOB szn on Starknet is real

> @LayerAkira & @RemusDEX for spot trading
> @extendedapp brings Perps (currently migrating from StarkEx to Starknet Mainnet)
> @tradeparadex for Perps + spot coming soon (on its own Starknet appchain)

And soon: block time will drop from 30s to 4–6s with Starknet v0.14.0 (~July 28 on Mainnet).

Making all of them faster and more efficient.

The staking migration is now complete!

Staking operations are live again, and both Block Attestation and Commission Adjustment features are now active on Mainnet.

This upgrade improves the economics of STRK staking and brings greater transparency to validator behavior: allowing delegators to evaluate and compare validator liveness and reliability ahead of their future role in Starknet consensus (targeting EOY).

From now on:
> Validators must attest to randomly selected blocks each epoch.
> They can also adjust their commission, but only under strict, time-locked conditions.
> Delegators can monitor validator liveness and commission policies across all staking UIs, and switch at any time if needed.

This v2 implementation is a major step toward Starknet’s full decentralization. Now we’re doubling down to ship v3 by the end of the year, and bring Bitcoin staking to Starknet.

The STRK Staking v2 migration starts in ~1 hour!

Once it begins, the staking protocol will be paused for a few hours, while the network will of course remain fully functional.

This staking window gives validators time to upgrade their infrastructure.
