Took a while but I finally made it through the STRK20 whitepaper. Broke it down so you don't have to. Notes, nullifiers, channels, subchannels, viewing keys, compliance. All of it, no jargon. Check it out👇

1/ A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive your Bitcoin private key from an exposed public key. That puts “your keys, your coins” at risk. Quantum-safe Bitcoin gives Bitcoiners a potential fallback under Bitcoin’s existing rules 🧵

The STRK20 Private Sprint has officially wrapped up. Over 220 builders came together to build 200 projects pushing privacy forward on Starknet. Winners will be announced soon 🥷

Are you good at pressing buttons?

1/ The last week in the pack. Infra, apps, metrics… here’s your Starknet weekly recap 🧵

We’re hiring devrels (EN, ES) for our upcoming @solana bootcamp with @dev3pack If you think you're a good fit, drop me a DM before Sept 4 I will prioritize the community first 🤝

Here's @thedamooo explaining Quantum-Secure Bitcoin at Bitcoin Asia 👇 QSB is opt-in, works under Bitcoin's existing rules, and protects the coins you prepare in advance. It's a contingency plan for your own holdings, rather than a fix for Bitcoin itself that may need a protocol change that may not arrive in time. If you hold Bitcoin on someone else's behalf, that's exactly why you should care.

Starknet’s quantum story so far: → 2018: StarkWare publishes the original STARK paper, built on post-quantum-secure foundations. → 2020: StarkEx becomes the first STARK-based scaling solution in production on Ethereum Mainnet. → 2021: Starknet becomes the first STARK-based general-purpose scaling solution in production on Ethereum Mainnet. Since then: → Native Account Abstraction gives Starknet cryptographic agility, allowing accounts to adopt post-quantum signatures without a hard fork. → S-two, a hash-based, quantum-resistant STARK prover, has been built and launched on Starknet Mainnet. → A fully spec-compliant Falcon-512 post-quantum account executes a transaction on Starknet Mainnet for ~$0.06. → Post-Quantum Roadmap for Starknet: every remaining quantum-sensitive surface of Starknet is mapped out, from protocol commitments to legacy state and Ethereum dependencies. → v0.14.3: Starknet ships the first protocol-level milestone of its PQ migration, replacing Pedersen with BLAKE for OS configuration hashing. → Beyond Starknet, StarkWare researchers co-authored BIP-360 and designed + executed the first quantum-safe transaction on Bitcoin Mainnet, without changing Bitcoin’s consensus rules. Now, Starknet is the chain with the least quantum migration debt, and we're targeting full post-quantum security by 2027. Follow all the progress we're making in real time: quantum.starkware.co/

6 days left to enter the Private Sprint. Nearly 150 projects are being built with STRK20, Starknet's privacy framework for shielded balances and private transfers. Agent skills, tools, SDK and direct support from @StarkWareLtd available. Get started: strk20.starknet.io/hackathon

The verifiable computer.

Two months. Learning, relearning, shipping. @onwardlearn is built for people meeting digital money for the first time. No jargon, no assumptions, nothing you need to already know. Thank you @gooddollarorg . There's a lot more to come.

Our quant just ran the numbers on some of the recent milestones hit by the Starknet ecosystem: > 1,500,000,000 STRK staked,~22% of the circulating supply > 10M STRK staked privately, a first in crypto > $90M in value staked on Starknet (STRK + BTC) > Starknet revenue up 1,200% YoY > Apps on Starknet generated $40M in revenue over the past year > $1M+ in value shielded across 37 different assets All of this in the middle of a bear market. The next few months should be very interesting.
