Took a while but I finally made it through the STRK20 whitepaper. Broke it down so you don't have to. Notes, nullifiers, channels, subchannels, viewing keys, compliance. All of it, no jargon. Check it out👇

Bitcoin Pizza Day 🍕 Interesting conversation with @Ingalandia on Bitcoin DeFi emerging on Starknet, alongside @juga_btc from @SatsTerminal. strkBTC @StarkWareLtd @Starknet @odin_free

In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas worth about $40. Today, that same BTC is worth over $770 million. Sixteen years later, the transaction is still public, with the amount, addresses, and history permanently visible. That is Bitcoin’s superpower and its flaw: it proves everything by exposing everything. strkBTC keeps the proof and removes the exposure, letting Bitcoin move privately on Starknet while remaining verifiable. Private by default. Verifiable on demand.

All day, every day.

1/ The last week in the pack. Infra, applications, metrics... here’s your Starknet weekly recap 🧵

380+ projects were submitted for the @dev3pack global hackathon We hosted this hackathon with a small budget, but created a global movement, online and IRL in 40+ local hubs, even in bear market. The community showed up not for prizes, but for collaboration, learning, building startups, and getting recognized. We wanted to bring our own audience, and managed to onboard 4K+ applicants from 84 countries and 1,700+ universities. For most of them, it was their first hackathon ever! The hackathon became one of the biggest student onboarding initiatives on @solana. Their official student hackathon had around 90 submitted projects, with a different budget. The secret? Infrastructure and community. In just a few weeks, with @armolas_06 & @zintarh_dev, we built a cool platform to support the entire hackathon experience, from participation to event coordination. More than 150 people helped organize this movement. Huge thanks to all of them! The energy from emerging markets is unmatched. Many participants are already pushing their projects further, forming teams, and taking the lead in their local ecosystems. Every project received AI deep feedback and recommendations (product, technical) thanks to @bonfiresai Today it's an exciting day for all of them, as we are opening our global accelerator with @solana to support their founder journey 🫡

Dev3pack Bridge Accelerator 🏗️ We're launching The Bridge, an accelerator helping underrepresented talents turn hackathon projects into real startups, powered by @solana Many don’t know where to start. The bridge is the way. Apply by June 12 👇 bridge.dev3pack.xyz

Shielding strkBTC takes one click. After bridging your BTC via strkbtc.io, @gardenfi, or @atomiqlabs, your strkBTC will appear in your @ready__x or @Xverse wallet. From there, shielding happens directly inside your wallet. Starknet enables native privacy, which means you do not need a separate app, extra tool, or new flow to activate it. Everything is accessed through your wallet. How to Activate Shielding 1. Select strkBTC 2. Click the Shield icon 3. Your balance moves into the private pool 4. Click Unshield whenever you want to go public again
