Pilots, man your cockpits, it’s time to xplore NFT 2/8
Here’s how to get the second one 👇
You need to play and submit your score on starkfighter.xyz by 23:59 UTC on Wednesday 16th May 2023 using your Argent X wallet.
Anyone can play, but to be able to submit your score, you need a Stark ID domain or subdomain on Starknet Mainnet, and your account needs to be deployed.
If you don’t already have one, you can get a free xplorer.stark subdomain (you only pay for gas) at xplorer.starknet.id until 23:59 UTC on the 16th May 2023. E.g. vitalik.xplorer.stark
If you’ve already played the game and submitted your score through Argent X before, then you will be automatically eligible for the snapshot, so you don’t need to do it again.
As an added bonus, there is also $12k in prizes up for grabs, distributed to the top 50 players in varying amounts by @Starknet_id
Lastly, Starknet is very congested right now due to high traffic and volumes, so some things may take a little longer than usual, or will fail the first time.

Account Abstraction is a genuine breakthrough for crypto. It's how we bring crypto to the masses.
But we know that it can be complicated, so here’s our attempt to make it more accessible by explaining 5 features enabled by AA that we’re currently working on…
What is Account Abstraction?
AA turns every account into a smart contract with its own logic. This is huge because it enables everyone to have an account adapted to their needs, with seamless compatibility!
We're particularly excited about these 5 features:
1. Multicall for 1 tap crypto 2. Session Keys for simplicity and security 3. Social Recovery for security & the end of seed phrases 4. 2FA and enhanced security 5. Plug-ins for flexibility
Vitalik says that Account Abstraction is “something we’ve always wanted” and that it has “for a long time been a dream of the Ethereum developer community”
But why have attempts to introduce AA to Ethereum L1 struggled to be implemented?
Let us explain…
Account Abstraction moves Ethereum from the current approach of one-account-fits-all, where anyone can lose everything with a small mistake, to a future where accounts can be tailored to individual needs
Seed phrases are not the route to bringing crypto to the masses
They’re insecure, inconvenient, and provide a terrible user experience
Luckily there’s another option
It’s called ‘social recovery', and it’s Vitalik's preferred method for securing a wallet
Here’s how it works…
Seed phrases are a randomly generated list of words used to create your wallet. Your wallet uses the seed phrase to generate the private key which is required for signing transactions.
Most of us have experienced them when creating non-custodial wallets.
Should you ever need to restore your wallet because you forgot your password or change devices, you will need your seed phrase.
Without it, there is no chance of recovery, and your funds will be lost.
