These days, the crypto community has a split opinion about the future of #StarkNet

Some call it our savior, while others say it’s #NGMI

Here’s a curated list of notable projects in the StarkNet ecosystem

🧵👇
1/ StarkNet is a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup

It operates as an L2 network on Ethereum, enabling any dApp to achieve unlimited computational scaling without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security
2/ As with any ecosystem, we need to begin the story by highlighting the unique benefits that separate it from competitors

Developers can use StarkNet smart contracts to deploy any business logic quickly
3/ StarkNet and its developer tools are built by various teams and individuals developing diverse STARK-based solutions for the blockchain industry

Eli Ben-Sasson and Uri Kolodny founded the company
4/ Before we continue...

5/ A trusted place to store digital assets is crucial for any ecosystem

Major wallets in the StarkNet ecosystem:

@argentHQ - a simple and secure mobile crypto wallet. It is open-source and built on zkSync, a ZKP-based Layer 2 rollup solution for Ethereum
6/ @myBraavos - created to make a self-custodial wallet that is easy and reassuring to use while not compromising on the enormous benefits of decentralization and self-custody of assets

More wallets are expected to join the ecosystem
7/ Bridges:

The fees for bridging to StarkNet will vary depending on the network you transfer from

For example, if you are bridging from Ethereum you pay slightly higher fees because transactions on the mainnet are generally more expensive due to higher demand for blockspace
8/ On the other hand, if you are bridging from other Layer 2s like Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Metis the transaction fee is much lower

Qasr and Kubri are bridges under development in the testnet phase to bring cash flow to StarkNet
9/ DAO infrastructure:

@SnapshotLabs - a voting framework built on StarkNet. It will allow any DAO to run their governance on-chain on Layer 2 and execute transactions on Ethereum

@BibliothecaDAO - a pioneering Web 3 game studio building eternal games on StarkNet
10/ @ZorroProtocol - a fast way for people to prove that they're unique users so they can obtain democratic DAO voting rights and other benefits
11/ Gaming/NFT projects:

@TheDopeWars - a fully decentralized, community-driven, gaming metaverse project inspired by hip-hop culture

@influenceth - a space strategy MMO game with true player ownership, set in a realistic asteroid belt, all built on Ethereum
12/ @LootRealms - the first module in an infinitely expanding player-owned game world

@AgeOfEykar - A decentralized strategy game

@bitmapbox - a 2D block-building game and protocol

@phi_xyz - build your own web3 world with your wallet activities
13/ @ninth_gg - a crypto-native and on-chain metagame

@MintSquareNFT – enables NFT trading with cheaper transactions and faster confirmation time

@NftflowStarkNet – a platform for creating liquid markets for illiquid NFTs
14/ Other projects in the StarkNet ecosystem:

@FujiFinance - First and only yield aggregator project

@zkxprotocol – Project on Derivatives on StarkNet

@AstralyXYZ – Launchpad project on StarkNet

@ibetyouxyz – Project on betting on StarkNet
15/ Projects launching soon on StarkNet:

@nostrafinance - the liquidity layer of StarkNet

@StarkDefi - aims to facilitate and simplify the onboarding process for the “next-generation user” in the blockchain space with a hub that accommodates a variety of DeFi solutions
16/ @ZKGraph - a social graph with limitless possibilities

@KandraFinance - a new DeFi protocol on StarkNet

@zohal_starknet - next-generation AMM coming soon to Starknet

@cryptoswaporg - Decentralized Exchange on zkSync and StarkNet
17/ StarkNet is still in the early stages of the ecosystem, where the most basic DeFi applications are just beginning to be developed and not yet launched

The most exciting DEXs are in the testnet stage

💊 Daily Bullets 💊

Tuesday, November 8th

The drama continues! The FTX/FTT/Binance saga rages and the crypto markets swing in tandem.

FTX halting withdrawals, cries of insolvency, rumors and speculation - Not Great!

The surprise revelation: Binance is now set to acquire FTX… Image
1/ This is surprising as FTX was making such large moves and acquisitions, it didn’t seem likely they were in such financial straits. Earlier, FTT and SOL were in the crosshairs.
2/ The theory was that Alameda might try to dump its SOL, Alameda's second-largest holding, and Solana ecosystem tokens in order to raise liquidity. How deep does their liquidity crunch go?

Wireless networks are the gateway to the internet but aren’t transparent, which can soon change

With the internet transforming, some question whether the telecom industry can serve the next generation of internet users

Decentralized Wireless (DeWi) is the solution

🧵👇
1/ Traditional wireless networks are restricted by bandwidth, congestion, service lags, and outages

Customers must deal with these issues in addition to determining the appropriate coverage, which is often complicated and costly
2/ #DeWi aims to revolutionize how communication networks are built, operated, and owned by encouraging operators to deploy and maintain telecom hardware in exchange for token rewards

Thanks to mobile phones, 66% of the world uses the internet, up from 7% in 2000

Parker Jay-Pachirat @parkerjayp, a VC at Fintech Collective @fintech_io was recently interviewed by @BanklessHQ about #criticaltheory in the context of blockchain innovations.

We listened to the entire podcast to provide you with a summary of the important insights

🧵👇
1/ @parkerjayp has a unique take on systems and power structures at a broad scale

She argues that power exists in any context

Some forms of power are explicit and some are inexplicit

It’s very reminiscent of @jordanbpeterson's idea of hierarchies existing everywhere
