the more I look at what @Starknet is building, the more I think its long-term vision deserves attention. Eli Ben-Sasson, StarkWare's founder and CEO, recently made an interesting point on The Block's The Hot Seat: "where Starknet is today is where Ethereum is heading tomorrow." that's a bold statement, but there's an interesting argument behind it. instead of constantly moving with whatever narrative is trending in crypto, Starknet has been putting effort into some important areas of blockchain technology. For example: -its STARK technology allows transactions and computations to be verified through cryptographic proofs. -provable computation could become increasingly important as blockchain applications become more complex. -the community is also discussing the network's future direction, including the possibility of moving towards an independent L1. i find that last development particularly interesting. the future of a blockchain shouldn't be decided by a small group alone. The people building on it and using it should also have a voice in important decisions. of course, there's still a lot to prove, especially with the proposed L1 direction. but one thing I respect is the focus on long-term infrastructure rather than chasing short-lived attention. not every important development in crypto comes with immediate hype. sometimes the most interesting work is happening before everyone starts paying attention. that's why I'm keeping Starknet on my radar.
