Guys, something interesting caught my attention in @Starknet October update. It's about avnu_fi and how it's using Starknet's computational power to improve swap execution. Let's take a simple example. When you swap tokens on a DEX, you usually want the best possible price. But liquidity isn't always available in one place. Different pools offer different prices and have different amounts of liquidity. Finding the right combination can make a big difference to your final output. This is where avnu comes in. Instead of routing your entire trade through a single pool, avnu searches across multiple liquidity sources to find a better execution route. So, what actually happens behind the scenes? - Smart routing: It compares different liquidity sources to find an efficient route for your trade. - Trade splitting: A large order can be divided across multiple pools to make better use of available liquidity. - Atomic transactions: Multiple swap steps can be bundled into one transaction. Either everything executes successfully or the entire transaction reverts. Now, where does Starknet fit into all this? Finding the best route requires computation, especially when a trade involves multiple pools and several steps. Starknet's computational capabilities allow applications like avnu to handle more complex execution logic. And there's another important part: Starknet uses STARK proofs to make its state transitions independently verifiable. So the computation behind these trades isn't simply something users have to trust. According to avnu's published comparison, it frequently outperforms major centralized exchanges and Prop AMMs on STRK trades below $10,000. Of course, actual results depend on liquidity, timing and trade size. What I like about this example is that it shows how Starknet's technology can be used beyond basic transaction processing. Its execution capabilities are helping builders create more advanced DeFi applications, improve trading experiences and make better use of on chain liquidity. And that's the kind of real world utility I like seeing develop across the Starknet ecosystem.

So @FungoLabs is gearing up for its upcoming $FUNGO airdrop and an interesting update came out yesterday. I’m still holding my Zama OG NFT, so this definitely caught my attention. According to the update, Fungo Genesis NFT holders, Zama OG NFT holders and people participating in the X campaign will be eligible for the airdrop. What makes it even more interesting is that Zama founder @randhindi has also mentioned it. You can check the screenshot below. Anyway I already hold an OG NFT, but I’m still planning to participate in the X campaign as well. Now waiting for more details. Let's see what the team has planned!

Guys a recent proposal in the Starknet community caught my attention. Its goal is to reduce the cost of settling @Starknet state updates on Ethereum. Let's break down the approach. Currently settling Starknet state updates on Ethereum involves several on chain operations, which can make the process quite expensive. Gas Killer has proposed moving some of this heavy computation off chain. So, how would it work.... • A network of operators performs the required computation off chain using the same chain state. • Once the computation is complete, operators sign the exact storage changes that should be made. • The Starknet Core contract then checks a signature and applies those changes on Ethereum, instead of performing all that computation on chain. There's also an accountability mechanism. If operators sign an incorrect result, it can be challenged and they can be slashed. The numbers are interesting too. Gas Killer tested this approach against 4 real Starknet mainnet state updates and estimated a 54–75% reduction in gas costs, saving around 306,000 gas per update on average. This isn't just about reducing gas fees. If this approach works, it could make settlement on Ethereum more affordable for Starknet. It's good to see the ecosystem exploring ways to improve cost efficiency alongside scaling. Of course, this is still an early proposal and there are security concerns that need to be addressed, especially around proof verification and withdrawals. But experiments like these are worth keeping an eye on. They could help make Starknet more efficient over time.

So guys looks like @Starknet might not remain an Ethereum L2 forever. On October 22, 93.52% of voting power supported researching whether Starknet should become an independent post quantum L1. There's a pretty good reason behind this. I've been following Starknet's quantum readiness roadmap lately so here's what caught my attention. First why is Starknet even considering this? Right now Starknet is an Ethereum L2, which means it still relies on Ethereum for things like bridge messaging and data availability. And here's where things get a little complicated. Some of that infrastructure still uses cryptography that could become vulnerable to powerful quantum computers in the future. Starknet can upgrade its own network, but it can't change everything that depends on Ethereum. That's one of the main reasons an independent L1 is being explored. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben Sasson has discussed a 2027 target for Starknet's full post quantum security, while Ethereum is targeting a quantum resistant L1 around December 2029. Of course these are targets, not guaranteed deadlines. But if Starknet eventually becomes an independent L1, it could have more control over when and how its security upgrades happen. Now has Starknet actually made any progress? Yep and this is worth mentioning. With Starknet v0.14.3, its OS program and configuration hashes were moved from Pedersen to a BLAKE2s 256 based construction on mainnet. Basically this replaces elliptic curve based hashing with a hash-based alternative in those specific areas. Starknet also uses hash based STARK proofs and has native account abstraction, which gives developers flexibility to explore different signature methods, including post quantum ones. But there's still work left around state hashing, contract storage, address derivation and existing contracts. So no, Starknet isn't fully quantum safe yet. Okay so what happens after this vote? First, the 93.52% YES vote doesn't mean Starknet is officially moving to L1. It was just a non binding poll to support further research. So what's next for Starknet? -> StarkWare and the Starknet Foundation are looking into the technical requirements and possible trade offs. -> An initial whitepaper draft is expected in November, though that could change. -> The community will get to review the findings before any actual transition is put to another governance vote. And a few more things worth knowing: -> STRK is expected to remain the native token. There's no new token planned. -> Ethereum bridges are intended to remain available. -> There's no confirmed timeline for an L1 transition. Starknet is clearly thinking beyond just upgrading its cryptography now. Of course, moving away from Ethereum wouldn't be that simple. Starknet would have to handle more of its own security and infrastructure. So there's still a lot to figure out. For now, Starknet is still an Ethereum L2, and nothing has changed yet. I'll be keeping an eye on the research and the upcoming whitepaper to see where this goes. What do you guys think? Would becoming an independent L1 be a good move for Starknet?

Been looking into @Starknet quantum readiness roadmap and honestly, this is something more people should be paying attention to. We usually talk about blockchain speed, scalability, and security. But what happens when the cryptography protecting all of this needs to change? Starknet is already working on this and here's what caught my eye. ( 1. ) Some changes are already live Starknet has moved its OS program and configuration hashes from Pedersen to a BLAKE2s 256 based construction. In simple terms, Pedersen relies on elliptic curve cryptography, while BLAKE2s is a hash function that doesn't depend on the same cryptographic assumptions. And the interesting part? this change is already live on mainnet. it's not just a future plan. ( 2. ) There's still more to do Contract storage, state hashing and contract address derivation are still part of the work ahead. Because making one part of a blockchain quantum resistant doesn't automatically make the entire system secure. These are still roadmap items, so there's more work to get done. ( 3. ) Wallets are another interesting part Starknet has native account abstraction, which gives accounts more flexibility in how they validate transactions. This makes it easier to explore different signature schemes instead of relying on just one approach. There's also been a Falcon 512 post quantum account demonstration on Starknet mainnet. Just keep in mind that it's experimental and unaudited. so this doesn't mean every Starknet wallet is quantum safe already. ( 4. ) What about the remaining challenges? Existing contracts will need a practical migration path, and StarkWare is working on the tooling for that. Then there's Ethereum. Starknet still depends on Ethereum for parts of its bridge messaging and data availability, so Ethereum's own post-quantum transition matters here too. Basically there's more to this than just changing a few cryptographic functions. Overall this is worth watching: Starknet isn't treating quantum readiness like some single upgrade that fixes everything. It's looking at the different layers involved, from hashing and wallets to existing contracts and Ethereum dependencies. Some changes are already live, and a post quantum account has been demonstrated. but the full transition is still a work in progress. Quantum threats might not be an immediate problem for most users, but preparing for them early makes sense. Definitely keeping an eye on this one.

Been looking into @termix_ai Lately and these numbers caught my attention. Base has generated more fees than BNB Chain recently. Last 30 days: -> Base: $64.9K -> BNB Chain: $58.2K Last 7 days: -> Base: $15.6K -> BNB Chain: $4.4K BNB Chain still leads in total fees but Base seems to be picking up pace. And this is one reason I’m keeping an eye on TermiX. They’re building around AI agent commerce, where agents can hire other agents, get work done, and pay for services on chain. It’s not just about building AI agents. It’s about making them useful enough to actually work together and pay each other. That’s what makes TermiX interesting to me. Let’s see how things develop over the next few weeks.

$400B+ in total volume on @variational_io And $100B+ came just since swaps launched last month. The growth has been crazy lately. At this pace 500B+ volume before TGE in Q4 looks pretty easy tbh. let’s see how far this goes !!

TermiX is part of something bigger happening on BNB Chain i came across the Set and Earn campaign, and the idea behind it is actually interesting. Instead of just asking people to create AI agents and leave them sitting there, the campaign encourages users to: -> Hire 3 different agents -> Explore at least 2 marketplaces -> Build and list an agent of their own And @termix_ai is one of the marketplaces involved. What i like about this approach is that it puts both sides of the agent economy to the test. Can you find an agent that actually does something useful for you? And can you build one that someone else would want to use? Because creating an agent is one thing. Making it useful enough that someone actually hires it is a completely different challenge. That’s the part i’m interested in watching as this ecosystem develops. The real test for AI agents won’t just be how many exist, but how useful they become when people start using them. I’ll be exploring more of the TermiX ecosystem and keeping an eye on how this plays out.

Thinking of taking a YES on this one.. Will $SOL hit $140 by december 31 ?? @xomarket currently puts the odds at 50% and looking at how much they've moved over the past few weeks, this one's definitely interesting. i think SOL has a shot at it before the year ends, so i'm leaning YES for now. let's see if this prediction plays out.

I came across this on @termix_ai today and honestly, this is the kind of thing i was looking for. A Brand Promo Video Agent is already live on the marketplace. You give it one text brief and it turns that into a finished 1080p promo video with GPU rendered visuals and original AI music. But the interesting part isn’t really the video generation It’s the fact that the capability is being packaged as an actual service. There’s a price attached to it: -> Up to 60s — 15 USDC -> 60–120s — 30 USDC And the service is delivered through the TermiX marketplace, with the transaction also tied into its TP incentive system. This is where the whole “agent economy” idea starts becoming a bit easier to understand. Instead of: AI agent > generates something > done You get: Agent > service > price > order > delivery That small difference is actually pretty important. Because if agents are eventually going to participate in an economy, they need more than just capabilities. They need a way to offer those capabilities as services that other people or agents can actually buy. But seeing actual services being listed with defined outputs and pricing makes the TermiX marketplace feel much more tangible to me. i’ll probably dig through the marketplace a bit more and see what other interesting agent services are already live.
