1/ Bitcoin doesn’t change. But what you can do with it just did.

From the June 2024 announcement that Starknet would scale Bitcoin, to the product rollouts of March 2025, the path has been clear.

BTCFi on Starknet is where that momentum now leads 🧵 2/ For years Bitcoin was only considered as digital gold, valuable but idle.

Despite being 4× bigger than Ethereum, Bitcoin’s DeFi is still 5× smaller.

BTCFi on Starknet is here to change that.

1/ Shutting down teams? Quiet timelines? Waiting for better time?

Not on Starknet: Bitcoin, decentralization, infra, UX, appchains, AI agents... we build no matter the market conditions.

Here’s everything Starknet shipped in Q1 2025, and what’s coming next 🧵 2/ Starknet v0.13.5 went live on Mainnet, bringing:

- Drastically lower gas fees
- Better DevX
- Key upgrades paving the way for the highly anticipated v0.14.0 (coming Q2) featuring Stwo, Mempool, and Fee Market

1/ Bold new narrative: Scaling Bitcoin + Ethereum together

Starknet will become the first L2 to settle on both Bitcoin & Ethereum, bringing the two largest blockchain ecosystems on a single layer, unlocking new DeFi opportunities and greater liquidity.

Read our vision & plan 👇 2/ Bitcoin is the OG of crypto and the ultimate store of value.

Yet, its true potential remains largely untapped; today, only ~1% of BTC is used for anything other than holding or trading.

The Starknet Quantum Leap part 1: v0.12.0 has been deployed on the public Goerli Testnet and is now in its final testing phase before supercharging the Mainnet next week.

The moment we’ve all been waiting for is frecking close! Read on 👇 This update is a breakthrough in scaling Ethereum it is improving performance by increasing throughput tenfold.

Starknet Quantum Leap 0.12.0 MAINNET upgrade voting: who can vote? ⁉️ 🙋

It's a question we get a lot.

Here's the full monty:

👇 Participants in the v0.12 vote have been expanded.

Starknet dev teams have access to STRK VOTING (not selling) power through various channels, including Early Adopters Grants, Dev Partnerships, the Builders Council, and more.

Storage proofs have many perks, combine them with the Starknet Mainnet Quantum Leap and you get the new powerhouse of crypto.

Why that? Lets look at the first principles and the mental model of Storage proofs.

Shmergh thru this thread, its easy to read. 📚💫 Storage proofs are cryptographic marvels, orchestrating blockchain data movement across chains without leaning on any third-party – the trust factor is woven right into the storage.

They herald fresh crypto possibilities. 🔔💡

Brace yourselves for Starknet's upcoming Mainnet 0.12 Quantum Leap launch this summer.

The imminent tech fusion of StarkWare and @class_lambda brilliance is set to skyrocket our capabilities into a new speed dimension. 🎆🚀

read on anon! Our engineers have been weaving magic into our codebase. They've been stitching the sequencer in Rust and harmonizing it with Cairo-rs. The result?

The release of Starknet alpha v0.11.0 is just around the corner, and it will be up for a vote. This marks the beginning of the first phase of Starknet Governance.

Now y’all can help shape Starknet by voting on protocol changes.

community.starknet.io/t/starknet-fou… So, the @StarknetFndn is sharing some of its voting power to a broad group of independent delegates, to get everyone involved in Starknet governance during these early stages.

Account Abstraction is key to improving the user experience and security of self-custodial crypto wallets.

By removing the reliance on private keys and making wallets more programmable, we can finally onboard millions of mainstream users without the fear of getting hacked

/1 Technological innovation in blockchain has flourished over the last few years, but UX and UI design have failed to keep up.

People still get stuck on 16-word seed-phrases, and getting into DeFi without a centralised intermediary is still too intimidating for many.

We are excited to announce that we will be releasing updates to the StarkNet wallets in the coming weeks. These updates will bring new features and improvements to the platform, but they will also include breaking changes. It is important that all users update their wallets in order to support these changes. If you do not update your wallet, you will not be able to access your funds anymore.

Psst 🤫... let's play with Cairo 1.0 🎮

🧵: Cairo:
Turing-complete programming language for efficiently writing STARK-provable programs

Cairo 1.0:
Improved language and compiler built from the ground up making it safer, more usable and more rust-like

We are excited to unveil Papyrus, a new open-source full node for StarkNet. It will be a crucial component in the ongoing development of the StarkNet infrastructure, as it is designed to improve both performance and decentralization on the network. Papyrus is built using the Rust programming language and tracks the state of the network as it evolves over time. With the help of StarkNet's JSON-RPC interface, users and developers can easily query the state of the network via Papyrus.

🎨🚀 Join us at StarkWare Sessions 2023 and be a part of shaping the future of Ethereum and the decentralized web.

But that's not all, we're also hosting a T-shirt Design Contest for the StarkNet community. 1/5 Show off your creativity and design skills 🎨🖌️ and have a chance to win free admission to the event 🎟️ and a bag of StarkNet swag.

The 4 best designs will be selected by a jury of StarkNet fam members and printed on-site for attendees.

Storage Proofs: Blockchain Interoperability Made Easy

Storage proofs (SP). It's an unsexy name for a very, very powerful StarkNet tool.

Let’s take a look.

SP are like CRISPR/Cas9 for blockchain devs. StarkNet and Cairo let you use inputs like "Use the value of variable X in contract Y at block Z of Ethereum/Bitcoin/whatever, and do something with it". In a trustless manner.

Native L2 dApps: a thundering herd

Unleashing L2's computational power🛠️ 🔋

Let's explain what's going on. 👇🏻👇🏿👇🏽 1.
The Ethereum (L1) gas limit always poses severe constraints to dApp developers. This limits how dApps work, but also what they can do.

Cairo's gonna change L2/L3 scaling, are you ready?

I'm excited to share a bunch of resources to help you devs develop on #Starknet and more generally in Cairo. 🏗️

Be scared no more! Spoonfeddoor Cairo tutorial thread 🧵🧵👇🏻👇🏿👇🏼 1/16
StarkNet and Cairo Documentation

#StarkNet allows any dApp to scale without compromising Ethereum's composability or security.

Cairo is a language for writing provable programs. It can scale blockchains.

Interoperability between wallets on StarkNet is important. There's a new proposal and we'd like your feedback.

"Standard for account keys and addresses" by @jniset

Here's a short summary of the objective.

🧵🧵👇🏿👇🏻👇🏽 @jniset Accounts on #Ethereum are referred to by their associated public keys. A single seed phrase can generate multiple keys.

If you know this secret, you can get a sequence of account addresses.
