Only ~40% of 2026 is done btw.

Take a few minutes to seriously contemplate what the ecosystem shipped in only 5 months. Among the biggest updates: > Brought STRK to Solana manlets > Finished integrating LayerZero bridging technology, as well as Stargate Finance > Open-sourced S-two, making it possible to verify proofs on EVM, while greatly improving efficiency with recursive circuit proving (a big unlock for privacy, ZK-threads, in-protocol proof verification, and client-side proving) > Launched StarkZap v1, then v2: a TypeScript SDK allowing anyone, from Web2 to Web3 builders, to bring their apps onchain on Starknet and integrate DeFi use cases while abstracting away blockchain complexity. Already 6,000 builders have tried it, and privacy is coming soon > Partnered with EY to bring our stack and privacy to institutional players > Introduced the strkBTC plan and vision: the first Bitcoin-backed asset designed to be productive, with compliant privacy features built in > Presented STRK20s, Starknet’s privacy pool, allowing ERC20s on Starknet to be encrypted, and released its technical paper > Launched Shinobi, the protocol upgrade enabling in-protocol proof verification on Starknet, the last missing piece for native privacy on Starknet > Provided a concrete solution to Bitcoin’s quantum-computing problem > Helped Share Internet raise a seed round to build better financial infrastructure in Africa, powered by Starknet > Launched strkBTC on Mainnet and prepared the upcoming full launch of STRK20 on June 9 > Released the multi-collateral feature on Extended, allowing traders to trade perps using USDC, XVS, USDT, wBTC, and ETH as collateral across crypto and TradFi assets > Got native USDC on Starknet integrated into Binance deposits and withdrawals And the intern in me can already tease that: > A solution to Bitcoin’s quantum-computing problem with strkBTC will be announced > More broadly, the roadmap to make Starknet fully post-quantum secure end-to-end will be announced (spoiler: most of the hard work is already done) > STRK20s will likely go bananas, with the launch on 9th June and the Privacy SDK to be released soon after > And much more 40% of the year is already done. The ecosystem has shipped a lot, but there’s still much more to come in the remaining 60%. Lock in. Seriously.

Operation "Encrypt the Whole Market” starts on June 9 btw

Starknet ranks 3rd among all chains in terms of net flows over the last month. It also ranks 3rd over the last year. And we haven’t even encrypted the whole market yet.

We are launching STRK20s before GTA VI.

All the cards are in our hands to run it back.
