LATEST: 🔒 StarkWare launched OffMarket, a zero-knowledge service on Starknet that lets Polymarket users place bets without publicly tying their positions to their wallets.

🚨 Europol highlights technologies relevant to @Starknet in its report on quantum threats.
The report discusses account abstraction and ZK-STARK proofs as tools that could help reduce crypto wallets’ vulnerability to quantum attacks.
StarkWare is cited in a footnote as a source of information on ZK-STARKs.
Europol urges the industry to accelerate the transition to post-quantum security.
@StarkWareLtd plans to make Starknet fully post-quantum secure by 2027.
The race for quantum-resistant blockchain infrastructure is already underway 🔐
Europol explicitly cites StarkWare in its report on quantum threats to crypto.
It discusses account abstraction + ZK-STARKs as tools to reduce wallets’ exposure to quantum attacks.
And its message to the industry is clear: act now and accelerate the transition to post-quantum security.
That’s exactly the path we’re taking.
We’ve been pioneering STARKs since 2018. Now we’re working to complete Starknet’s transition to full post-quantum security, with 2027 as our target.
One by one, our choices are being validated inside and outside the crypto industry.

🐋 WHALE WATCH : $STRK has officially broken out of the $0.063 accumulator zone. After a massive multi month base volume is expanding and market structure has flipped bullish.
=> Immediate Resistance: $0.1025
=> Major Target: $0.1551
=> Macro Target: $0.2795
Accumulation phase is over. Dont say you werent warned when this tests higher targets.

Seeing a few stray shots at @Starknet for exploring an L1, with some framing it as “chasing the quantum narrative.”
Starknet isn’t chasing anything here. The flag was planted in 2018 with the STARK paper, and work towards a post-quantum secure stack has continued since.
An L1 move will give Starknet control over the timeline for that transition.
I expect the flight to safety to become increasingly visible to many. More founders, developers and technical decision-makers will ask: “Can this blockchain adapt as security requirements evolve?”
For Starknet, the answer will be yes.

🔥 LATEST: Starknet is considering becoming an L1, targeting 2027 to become the first fully quantum-resistant network.

Your Bitcoin doesn’t have to sit idle.
alot of people think of btc as something you hold and wait on.
But what if you could bring that bitcoin into deFi from your own wallet and actually use it?
let's see where strkBTC on @Starknet comes in
a thread🧵
🤝 Paid partnership

From Zcash's founding scientist to @StarkWareLtd's CEO, @EliBenSasson has spent two decades turning zero-knowledge proofs into blockchain infrastructure.
Co-Founder, President and CEO of StarkWare, he co-invented the STARK and FRI protocols, research that later earned a 2024 IEEE Test of Time Award.

It’s been one month and we’ve managed to reduce grinding costs for post quantum secure Bitcoin txns from ~$320 to $67
Post quantum secure Bitcoin is already here. What’s left are optimisations

Your Bitcoin can start in your own wallet and still have a life beyond just by holding it.
So with the tek on strkBTC, you can bring BTC from your own wallet into Starknet and use it across Decentralized finance.
Bring it in
put it to work
choose what you want to shield
explore strkBTC on @Starknet .
you can also put it to work through staking on Endur, while keeping the option to shield certain strkBTC balances and transfers when you feel like you want more privacy.
i like the fact that this doesn’t ask you to give up one thing to get another.
You keep control of your BTC, get access to more ways to use it, and have a choice over what activity you make visible onchain.
it even makes strkBTC interesting for anyone holding BTC who wants to do more with it without moving away from self custody.

Starknet is becoming much more than an Ethereum L2.
The bigger vision is an execution layer connecting Ethereum and Bitcoin through STARK proofs.
→ Ethereum grade settlement
→ Bitcoin staking & BTCFi
→ Native Account Abstraction
→ Cairo powered verifiable computation
→ Privacy through strkBTC & STRK20
→ Progressive decentralization with PoS
What stands out to me is the direction: scaling, privacy, and Bitcoin liquidity are gradually being brought into the same ecosystem.
@Starknet isnt just trying to make transactions cheaper.
Its building toward a verifiable execution layer for two of crypto’s largest ecosystems.

The reason why I start digging around strk-assets is how privacy is rising.
$ZEC is claiming historic ATH.
Privacy build like @Starknet should be next.
Basic knowledge of strkBTC:
+ The privacy version of BTC on Starknet
+ DeFi compatibale
+ Yield-bearing
And available on the Starknet ecosystem.
strkBTC and how @Starknet Is positioning itself in BTCFi
Bitcoin can be useful beyond holding. But moving BTC onchain often puts your balance and activity in public.
strkBTC gives holders another option.
1. Why Starknet built strkBTC
Most BTC still sits outside DeFi. Many holders want to keep their own keys and avoid showing every move onchain.
Starknet started its Bitcoin push in 2024. In 2025, it added BTC staking, 100m STRK in incentives, and support for several BTC assets.
-> strkBTC builds on that work with a bigger focus on privacy.
And for Bitcoin holders, I think this matters. Keeping control of BTC comes first.
2. What is strkBTC?
strkBTC is backed 1:1 by BTC and can be used across supported Starknet apps.
It has two modes under STRK20, public and shielded.
+ keep BTC in your own wallet
+ bridge and receive strkBTC
+ shield it when needed
Your BTC exposure stays the same.
For now, minting and burning use a Federation with Bitcoin multisig and bridge contracts. It is not fully trustless yet. BitVM and other Bitcoin-based designs are planned later.
Members include @xverse, @twinstake_io, @NEARProtocol,
@UTXOmgmt, @luganodes, and @OneKeyHQ.
Shielding is optional and available through @xverse and @ready__x. BTC can enter through @gardenfi and other Starknet bridges.
3. How strkBTC fits into BTCFi
strkBTC sits alongside WBTC and other BTC wrappers. The main addition is optional privacy.
After bridging, users can put strkBTC into Starknet DeFi.
+ @endurfi for liquid staking
+ @vesuxyz for lending and borrowing
+ @avnu_fi for swaps
+ @EkuboProtocol for LP
+ @trovesfi for earning
+ @xverse and @ready__x for shielding
-> bridge BTC, shield if needed -> then swap, lend, LP, or earn
This fits long-term holders and treasuries that want to use BTC without showing every position onchain.
4. Where Starknet fits in BTCFi
Starknet already has WBTC, SolvBTC, and tBTC. strkBTC adds two things worth watching.
+ direct access from Bitcoin wallets like Xverse
+ optional privacy once BTC is on Starknet
A lot of BTCFi is built around yield and TVL. Starknet is taking a different route with self-custody and privacy.
5. Personal sentiments
I prefer this approach for BTC holders. More yield is easy to pitch. Giving people more control over their BTC is harder, but more useful.
There are risks, of course. strkBTC still depends on a Federation for now, bridges carry risk, and privacy is opt-in.
The Atomiq incident in August 2026 showed why the bridge part matters.
In a nutshell, strkBTC has a good use case. The next question is whether Bitcoin holders will actually use it.

$STRK - A pretty consistent pattern on this coin that whenever OBV breaks out before price a 100%+ move follows. Break the diagonal and probably looking at a 200% play. All speculation but so far volume is leading the way and price in theory should follow.

$STRK - If the major diagonal breaks could be looking at a lot more than just 100%. Helps that you can trade it directly on Robinhood too.
