BROTHER Bukintigerqt🥷

thank you $STRK

If I send you $10k What's your first buy?👀

From 1 minute to generate a STARK proof to only 3 seconds. The amount of unlocks this simple optimization brings is mind-blowing: - Onchain privacy - Decentralized validation - Infinite scaling with zkThreads All coming to Starknet.

This month on Starknet. 1️⃣ Starknet is entering Phase 4 - After years of improving the infrastructure layer, the focus is now shifting from “better infrastructure” to “what can only be built with this infrastructure.” - To support this new phase, StarkWare also adapted its strategy: more focus, fewer low-signal activities, and a stronger push toward products, adoption, and economic alignment. 2️⃣ Starknet now has the native infrastructure for privacy, and the first use case is ready - The Shinobi upgrade is live on Starknet Mainnet, introducing the protocol-level changes needed to make native privacy possible on Starknet. - The first major use case is STRK20s, bringing privacy to all ERC-20 assets. - Among them: Bitcoin, through strkBTC, a new Bitcoin wrapper from Starknet Foundation and StarkWare. - The vote to validate the strkBTC bridge structure and signers is live and ends on May 7. - The vote to make strkBTC eligible for Bitcoin staking is also live and ends on May 7. 3️⃣ The ecosystem keeps shipping - Privily, the first L3 built on Starknet, is now live in beta, building a privacy-focused neobank. - Private transactions powered by Paymaster and private swaps are already possible thanks to avnu. - Private cross-chain swaps to and from Starknet are live through RocketX. - Ready launched USD Prime, allowing users to access Ethereum yield strategies through their wallet UI without leaving Starknet. - Share Internet raised a seed round led by Greenfield to build better financial infrastructure in Africa. - Extended keeps expanding its TradFi markets, with around 30 markets now live across equities, commodities, ETFs, and forex. - 8 new projects are live on Mainnet: Privily, YieldStark, Nums, Abyss, Midgard, Armored_MMA, Lil Duckies, and GuessMyNFT. 4️⃣ The numbers keep improving - 248 projects submitted an entry for the latest Re{define} Hackathon on Starknet. - Starknet is the top chain in the Ethereum ecosystem for onchain developer activity. - Starkzap crossed 4,000 downloads. - Ready Card users have already spent $50M IRL. - Loot Survivor is the 9th most active app across the entire Ethereum ecosystem. - That same game has already generated 100,000,000 onchain transactions on Starknet. - Vesu keeps seeing usage metrics go up only. Can't stop, won't stop.

First off: other chains? dead. Secondly, I’ve joined @StarknetFndn. Yes, @Starknet. “but they only have 8 users” Good. Even better. Because imagine finding an ecosystem with pristine technology, world-class engineering, and somehow still an absurdly under-appreciated story. That is the setup I get to cook with. After a period of deep reflection, Starknet just feels right. There’s a serious glow-up opportunity here, and I’m excited to work with the Foundation and the ecosystem to help make it happen. Plus, i get to London + Lisbon max. Sorry in advance.

What does privacy for Bitcoin actually look like in practice? At Bitcoin 2026, @thedamooo broke it down live on stage. strkBTC brings Bitcoin into a privacy pool on Starknet with shielded balances and private transfers, while staying fully redeemable back to native BTC. You move in, transact privately, and exit on your terms. Onchain, observers only see a bridge in and out. Inside, your activity stays yours. Here's a short clip if you missed the session 👇

Circuit recursion is the engine behind the next wave of Starknet products. Native privacy. STRK20s. Client-side proving. Your phone as a prover. Join @EliBenSasson and @gil_ben_shachar to understand what S-two’s jump from 60s to 3s proving unlocks for Starknet and its users.

Native BTC Swaps to strkBTC, with Atomiq and Garden x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

🎙️ Going live now How will native BTC swap into strkBTC? We're getting into it live with the two teams making it happen. With @AtomiqLabs + @gardenfi

Hot take : Starknet is what Ethereum dreams to be. > native account abstraction > privacy at protocol level > post-quantum security > based on STARKs, no trusted > ZK threads with permissionless sequencing > cairo: a VM built for proving > strk + btc dual-yield staking > recursive proofs and stwo the fastest prover in the world > tech that powers %25+ volume of perp dexs. > and more. so now imagine the team that literally doubled down on purely infrastructure that is completely battle tested now 100x downs into "REVENUE". y'all srsly not ready for this. i'm so fucking bullish.

Starknet Shinobi : explain like i'm five

april 20, 2026 is beeg because Shinobi is live on Starknet mainnet. v0.14.2 gives Starknet native proof verification. builders can run logic offchain, prove the result, and have the protocol verify it. that is the alpha. but what means? let me explain.

Starknet's migration to being fully quantum-resistant will be very easy for users. The key element that will make it easy is native Account Abstraction. Native AA is one of the most important design choices we've made. An unpopular choice, but an excellent one.

More than 2 years as the official @Starknet intern/shitposter are coming to an end today. I’ll miss you Starknet handle. See you in another life.

Pretty excited for what’s coming to Starknet in the next few weeks. 1) Protocol-level privacy that actually works with DeFi!! 2) The biggest execution innovation I’ve seen in DeFi in 2-3 years is about to launch on Starknet: better fills and a real path to bring $STRK price discovery back onchain. Soon.

It’s almost time.

A new era is starting in May.

⚡️ UPDATE: Starknet, Aztec, and Arbitrum rank among the top Layer 2 projects by development activity, according to Santiment.

strkBTC brings together everything Bitcoin needs today. Hard asset, private, and productive. All in one.
