Starknet is making progress on multiple fronts. Post-quantum research is moving forward. Privacy is finding real use cases across DeFi. New apps and better onboarding keep expanding the ecosystem. And with 1.7B $STRK staked, the network keeps showing strong conviction. Different developments, one common theme: Starknet keeps shipping. More to come.
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. 🟠
1.7B ethereum:0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766 staked. Around 23% of circulating supply. $150M in the Bunker. Record monthly commits. All-time-high starknet.js usage. The numbers tell one part of the story. The steady stream of products, integrations, and technical progress tells the rest.
Quantum resistance is not a one-time upgrade. It's an ongoing process of adapting to new cryptographic standards and threats. Starknet's account abstraction provides a foundation for that flexibility. Exploring an independent post-quantum L1 could take it even further. ethereum:0xca14007eff0db1f8135f4c25b34de49ab0d42766
Starknet’s shipping pace is hard to ignore. Post-quantum security is moving from research to real devices and mainnet transactions. Privacy is spreading across DeFi. New products, integrations, and stronger network metrics keep stacking up. The independent L1 discussion shows how seriously Starknet is thinking long term. Still building. Still shipping.
Post-quantum security. Programmable privacy. Bigger proofs. Growing adoption. Starknet made progress on all fronts this October. The ecosystem isn't just talking about the future. It's shipping pieces of it today. Great monthly recap.
8/8 capabilities in the Bunker Checklist. Starknet's account abstraction stands out for one critical reason: existing accounts can upgrade their signature logic in place. Post-quantum readiness isn't just about having stronger cryptography. It's about being able to adapt.
AI meets cryptography. Bunker Autoresearch is putting AI tools to work on real post-quantum research. $1,000 in prizes. GPU credits. Real problems to solve. Starknet’s post-quantum journey keeps moving.
Can we make STARK proofs smaller without compromising security? StarkWare is opening the math challenge to researchers and AI agents. Smaller proofs. Cheaper verification. Better scaling for Starknet. Let’s see what the community can crack. https://t.co/p6IR4xBkfr https://t.co/PAPdwvuHmS
