Big day for Starknet today 🔥. $STRK Staking goes live in a few hours. Obviously you know where to Stake but just as a reminder in case it wasn't clear enough:. IF YOU DONT STAKE WITH @avnu_fi I'LL SEE IT AND FIND YOU!. Hope that helps.

Dear Starknet Believers,. Our battle isn’t just in the code and the product. It’s on the damn CT timeline too. That’s where the mindshare is captured today. If we’re not on the frontlines engaging, defending, and attacking, someone else will tell our story. And trust me,

Flippy Flop is a massive success!. Why’s this a big deal? It shows that:. 1) Starknet can scale, handling huge traffic (857 TPS without blinking!).2) It’s insanely cheap (< $0.01).3) And it’s secure (with Ethereum). Basically, if you’re building and want fast, cheap, and secure:.
Picture of the day👇. - Max TPS recorded: 857. - 24h Avg TPS: 127. TL;DR: Starknet scales! 🚀

Nope, no plans to expand AVNU beyond Starknet anytime soon. Why? Because when we say something, we mean it. Starknet isn't just our focus; it's the only place today where we believe our vision can fully come to life. Behind the scenes, we're all in:. - Relentlessly polishing.

1.3B - that's the number of STRK tokens not on Starknet. That represents around 60% of the current circulating supply today. Onboarding them into Starknet would almost double our TVL!. And there are plenty of reasons for them to make the move. - Staking is live with insane APY.

Yep, Solana is going for the kill. Radical, 180-degree changes are needed across all ecosystems if they even want to dream of competing. Go big or go home. 2025 is the deadline. After that, it’s game over. Yes, we can still brag about TVL — but for how long? Mindshare,.

GM. The new Starknet upgrade is dropping soon, and with its ~2-second confirmation time, AVNU is about to get a major UX boost. This means smoother and faster trades for all of us. Trust me, you'll notice the difference right away. It's the best UX improvement we'll have since.
Starknet 2024 roadmap update. Next version (v0.13.2) in August will have:.- Parallel execution.- Applicative recursion.- Reduction of confirmation time and block time. TL;DR: Faster, Cheaper, Better UX

Snapshot just announced Snapshot X, powered by Starknet:. "Today, 96% of DAOs and 500,000 monthly active users are on Snapshot.". Starknet is set for its StarkEx moment. Remember how Sorare, dYdX, and Immutable onboarded millions of users who didn’t even realize they were using.
Today marks the launch of Snapshot X, our new fully onchain voting protocol now available on the Snapshot v2 interface. It combines the security and verifiability of onchain voting & execution plus the frictionless ease & modularity that Snapshot is known for.

Or, you can just completely abstract the whole gas thing. That’s exactly what we did with @avnu_fi. Starknet is the first zk L2 with $STRK as its native gas token and now let you pay gas in anything you want —any tradable ERC20, basically. Tomorrow, we could onboard manlets
ETH being a gas token on other networks is confusing to new users. Use the Solana network, buy and trade using SOL. Ok 👍 . Use the Arbitrum or Base or X network, want to buy X or Y. By the way to do any of this shit you also need to buy this other token, oh and be sure it’s on.

L2s implementing AA is a game-changer, but its true potential is untapped if apps don't leverage it. Fully agree. This debate wouldn’t exist if AA was the standard, not just an option. That’s where @Starknet leads the way – embracing AA not as a feature, but as the foundation.
Some thoughts on L2s, L3s, and beyond. First of all, transaction fees on L2s are still too expensive for mass adoption. The current 10~20 cents per transaction is costly for most use cases. Yes, EIP4844 is just around the corner, which will significantly reduce these fees, and.

Be careful!. Today's a huge day, a once-in-an-ecosystem lifetime event. We've run heavy tests, simulations, and made all the preparations on AVNU side, but things might still go sideways given the expected heavy load and traffic. I'm supremely confident in our ecosystem's.
$STRK is coming! 🔥. ⚠️ Please be careful during the first minutes/hours of trading, liquidity might be still low on Starknet at start and extreme price fluctuations can quickly occur. We recommend using AVNU's 'Normal' mode to avoid any mistakes if you haven't already. Also,.

I'm once again asking everyone to focus on this easy win. STRK on L1 are dead STRK - you can't do shit with them!. On Starknet, they come alive:. - Staking: 15.3% APY. - LPs: Up to 62% APY for STRK-USDC & STRK-ETH on Ekubo!. - Lending/borrowing/stake2earn: Up to 22%. So heres.
1.3B - that's the number of STRK tokens not on Starknet. That represents around 60% of the current circulating supply today. Onboarding them into Starknet would almost double our TVL!. And there are plenty of reasons for them to make the move. - Staking is live with insane APY.
