Shipping season never ends 1⃣ Starknet is becoming a real bet on post-quantum security Starknet is one of the best-positioned blockchains to become fully post-quantum secure, end to end. > Most of the underlying architecture is already post-quantum secure, with only a limited number of remaining building blocks needed to complete the transition. > StarkWare published the full roadmap to finish the job, with Starknet targeting complete post-quantum security by 2027, well before Q-Day becomes a reality. > The Starknet Post-Quantum Hub is now live, providing one public resource to track the migration, technical advancements, research, remaining challenges, and external dependencies. > A fully specification-compliant Falcon-512 account successfully executed a real transaction on Starknet Mainnet for approximately $0.06, proving that post-quantum accounts can already operate onchain today. > Starknet v0.14.3 went live on Mainnet, with the completion of the first post-quantum roadmap milestone, with BLAKE replacing Pedersen for the OS configuration hash stored in the Starknet Core Contract 2⃣ A more efficient and robust decentralization program StarkWare proposed a major update to the STRK delegation program: > Delegation would be distributed across up to 31 validators, compared with more than 130 previously > Selected validators would typically receive between 5M and 20M STRK, compared with 2M to 5M STRK during previous rounds The objective is to strengthen validator economics, concentrate delegation among highly capable operators, and create a more efficient foundation for Starknet’s decentralization. 3⃣ Starknet privacy is entering Stage 2 > Stage 1 established the foundations of Starknet’s privacy stack. Stage 2 is now focused on bringing privacy into DeFi applications and real user-facing use cases. > StarkWare open-sourced the formal verification of the STRK20 privacy pool, with more than 230 machine-checked theorems covering its core security properties. Anyone can now rebuild the project and independently verify every proof. > The STRK20 compliance layer was fully documented, allowing users, builders, and institutions to understand the model, its advantages, and its trade-offs. The Starknet Privacy SDK and Wallet API are now live, allowing any developer to permissionlessly integrate Starknet privacy into their products. The ecosystem keeps shipping > avnu launched private swaps, allowing users to trade without revealing their balances or transaction amounts, with gasless execution and best-rate routing. > Endur launched private liquid staking for STRK and Bitcoin, a first in DeFi. > Ready added Ledger support for STRK20 shielding, allowing hardware-wallet users to access Starknet privacy. > Privily launched its V1, offering one interface to shield, send, and trade privately across more than 20 chains, including HyperEVM. > Extended secured a strategic investment led by eToro, integrated with Zengo, launched advanced spot orders, and surpassed 100 live RWA markets, with 1,000+ targeted. > Opus launched Auto-Topup, turning Troves into programmable liquidity reserves that automatically refill wallets. > Everyday launched Screen Minimizer, allowing users to earn money by respecting their screen-time limits, or lose it when they do not. > Paradex listed 12 new RWA perpetual markets and migrated its sequencers to the fully open-source Madara stack. 4⃣ The numbers keep improving > Extended surpassed $30M in cumulative revenue > Cage Calls surpassed 20,000 predictions > ArcX reached $500,000 in TVL > More than 67% of the STRK supply is now circulating, with only eight months remaining in the Investor and Early Contributor unlock schedule > Activity on Everyday continues to accelerate > Paradigm, the team behind Paradex, processed more than 7× the options volume of all options DEXs combined, with this flow expected to progressively move onchain through Paradex > Developer activity on Starknet continues to grow over time Can’t stop, won’t stop.(StarkWare 🥷)
