There's this sense of urgency at @Starknet that I haven't felt for a long time. With @extendedapp coming to mainnet, @EkuboProtocol catching attention, and BTCfi around the corner, we will get things right.

Based founders. Based community. Based ecosystem. Built for Ethereum. Built for Bitcoin. Built to last.

Starknet has the most cypherpunk origin story of any L2 founder. In 2013, @EliBenSasson was already on stage presenting ZK as a way to scale Bitcoin. 12 years later, the vision is coming full circle: ZK is reaching Bitcoin, and you can already build with it.

2 programs, 1 mission: decentralize Starknet StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation have launched their own dedicated staking delegation programs, and you can now apply to both don't miss your shot to get delegation and help secure the network 👇

I have a lot of respect for Solana but Starknet is better. It has higher scale and a better approach to scale - which is not by increasing the CPU/memory of those who want to track the network and validate it. Let me repeat that: NOT BY INCREASING CPU/MEMORY OF THOSE WHO WANT TO TRACK THE NETWORK AND VALIDATE IT. Starknet can support massive compute (for perps, gaming, other TPS-hungry use cases) that Solana cannot offer, meaning Starknet's heavy-computing exchanges (like Extended and Paradex) will give better value to users. We can process transactions in the thousands of TPS, including very complex ones. Most crucially, as we continue to scale Starknet to 10K and 100K TPS we can do so *without* requiring end users to purchase a server. Use the very same laptop as you do today🙂

LOOKING FOR BETA TESTERS Mobile app is almost done. Some asset replacement and integrations left. Team will distribute Beta using Testflight and Google Play Console VEX might come to mainnet faster than you might think. Reply below with your pitch on why you should be a part of the Beta Tester's cohort

Two starknet teams I love and respect for onboarding Web2 users and non-crypto natives: > @focustree_app: a focus app used by students preparing for exams. Most users don’t realize it's powered by Starknet. > @Blobarena: a game built on Starknet, collabs with top fighters from @Armored_MMA. They’re growing their community by tapping into medieval and armor groups. And we have more on the way :) Building onchain consumer apps is totally possible today. All you need is to focus on users, remove the wallet and sponsor transactions.

StarkWare is putting more and more skin in the game fr In addition to being the main contributor (dev, ecosystem support, BD, etc.): ✅ 75M STRK already delegated to the ecosystem ✅ 30M STRK staked on its own validator ✅ Now supporting the liquidity of ecosystem projects
