Another week, another reminder that Starknet is building on multiple fronts. Here's what stood out this week. 1. DeFi & Liquidity Capital keeps flowing into the ecosystem. 1.7B ethereum:0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766 staked, representing around 23% of circulating supply. Starknet Bunker holds around $150M in staked assets, including STRK and BTC. SuperVega recorded over $5M in notional trading volume in its best month. 2. Infra & Builders The infrastructure keeps getting stronger. Starknet opened a challenge to make STARK proofs smaller without compromising security. starknet.js usage reached an all-time high. Starkzap surpassed 10,000 downloads. Starknet recorded 210 commits this month, its highest monthly count in the past quarter. 3. Privacy Privacy is moving from a protocol concept into actual products. Shadow Accounts are powering private trading, borrowing, staking, and LPing. Ekubo, Opus, Troves, Endur, SuperVega, and ArcX are bringing private experiences to users. More importantly, this happens without fragmenting liquidity or changing existing smart contracts. 4. Quantum Post-quantum security is becoming practical. Quantum-safe transactions are being tested on real devices. Falcon-512 verification reached around $0.023 per transaction. StarkWare continues advancing research into cheaper post-quantum signatures and quantum-safe Bitcoin. 5. Ecosystem & Culture More ways to participate and build. Bramble wallet, BTCFi portal, and the Starknet VIP Program launched. Realms is rebuilding around a dedicated Starknet L3 for gaming. New projects and integrations continue expanding the ecosystem. Devcon 8 and Bunker Autoresearch bring builders and researchers together in Mumbai. 6. The Bigger Picture The discussion around Starknet becoming an independent post-quantum L1 is also moving forward, with a joint StarkWare and Starknet Foundation working group now assessing the implications. This is bigger than a weekly list of launches. DeFi is growing. Privacy is becoming usable. Quantum research is turning into infrastructure. Starknet isn't just shipping more. It's expanding what a blockchain can become. More to come. 🟠
