I'm bullish on Starknet, as always. Starknet is rising, more and more people are noticing that. But I stress: Starknet's been rising even before it became easy to spot. It's been growing with every right design choice. It just became easier to realize that lately. Design choices that stem from long-term vision work like this: Think broad, think wide, think 1000x, imagine the ecosystem at its most advanced and evolved state possible. Then, think which building blocks will provide users and developers with what they need. Starknet was built with ZK-STARKs, Cairo, native AA, and we're following our decentralization roadmap. These may seem like non-trivial choices, but only if your vision is not extended far enough. ZK-STARKs are now recognized as the endgame for blockchain (trust me, this recognition wasn't always as broad as it is today). The rest of the list will become consensus one day. So I'm bullish on Starknet, and from time to time I like to remind the world why. From time to time the list is updated with new reasons. Here's my updated list: * Globally scalable, publicly verifiable -- So today, Starknet is the only blockchain infra that is both globally scalable and verifiable by anyone, anywhere. In other words, Starknet can handle whatever throughput you'll throw at it, and without requiring people to upgrade their computation devices to keep up with the network. That's real empowerment for people like you and me. * Privacy -- Scale unlocked, next is privacy. Thanks to ZK-STARKs, Starknet can easily build and implement privacy solutions that will offer big value and have smooth UX. Stay tuned ;-) * Smartphone operatable -- It's the only infrastructure that is locally operatable (on your laptop). Thanks, S-two. * Decentralization is not a fashion -- It's the key to self-custody, security, censorship resistance, empowering individuals. Starknet is the only L2 moving towards full, true decentralization. We've already taken one of the most challenging steps from a technical point of view: Moving from centralized to decentralized architecture for sequencing blocks. * Cairo: ZK-friendly PL and VM -- Cairo is the best-ever smart contract language. Better than Solidity and Solana's Rust. Reasons: General computation, Blockchain-safety baked in, ZK-focused, rust-like, lets any dev build with ZK. * Superior UX, security, and self-custody infrastructure -- All accounts on Starknet are next-gen smart accounts (thanks to native account abstraction). No EOAs legacy. Designing UX exactly the way you want it. Let's add Paymaster by the amazing @avnu_fi to the list. This leads to optimized UX for end-users and top-tier self-custodial security. * Largest compute power for tx -- STARKs and Cairo enable complex txs to be processed efficiently on Starknet. This serves use cases with complex logic, like perp exchanges, on-chain gaming, and other heavy compute apps. * Safest connectivity to Bitcoin and Ethereum. * Most redundancy when it comes to sequencers and provers. 'I am bullish on Starknet' is a sentence that is true today, was true yesterday, and will be true tomorrow, and the list of reason just keeps on getting longer and longer. The END
