I am pleased to announce that I have developed a Notion database specifically designed to organize and enhance the accessibility of my Starknet content. I trust that you will find it beneficial.

Privacy that works where crypto already is.

Shieldnet is coming.

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

Only ~40% of 2026 is done btw.

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

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.

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

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

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

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.

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

We are launching STRK20s before GTA VI.

Prediction: Starknet will be a major player in whatever crypto landscape we’ll see in the future.

Crypto unlocks something powerful: open global networks, near-zero barriers to entry, markets that run 24/7. Any entrepreneur and any builder can realize their vision, any end-user can participate. There are no gatekeepers.

But mass adoption isn’t here yet. Blockchains may be this compelling idea, but they’re missing a few critical elements: privacy, better security guardrails, post-quantum security, good and safe UX, simple onboarding and navigation in this world, and quite frankly PMF.

These features require a unique architecture, one that is flexible, unlimited in the features it can support, and built to evolve when needed. Crypto needs future-proofed foundations.

Now, this kind of architecture that provides all of the things I mentioned (privacy, security, post-quantum security, simple onboarding, simplified UI, unlimited support for novel features, flexible upgradability, etc.) is rare and hard to build, and even harder to run in production. And yet, this is exactly what Starknet delivers: battle-tested and secure cryptography, privacy, good UX, scale, cheap cost, and an architecture that doesn't lock itself into today’s constraints. Starknet is built to adapt to tomorrow’s needs.

Whatever version of crypto we’ll see in the future, this is exactly the kind of tech that will power it, and Starknet is the one delivering this tech today. Crypto cannot go mainstream without these properties.

Starknet has been setting the standard when it comes to ZK, STARKs, zkVM, native account abstraction (AA), and more. Starknet, like crypto, still needs to improve adoption, and crypto, like Starknet, will owe its adoption to the kind of technology that Starknet offers.

So I have a strong conviction that crypto will reach mass adoption, and a strong conviction that the technology to lead to that is the one that Starknet offers.

Hence, my prediction that Starknet will be a major player in whatever crypto landscape we’ll see in the future.

[StarkWare 🥷 @StarkWareLtd]

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

[Starknet (Privacy arc) 🥷 @Starknet]

May 12. strkBTC comes to life.

So we did what felt right and turned it into a live event where we will deep dive into what it is, how it works, and why it matters

And we’re watching it together around the world!

Watch it from home or meet the crew and join us for a Watch Party in London, Lisbon, NYC, Seoul or Bengaluru!

More BTCFi. More privacy. More STRK alignment with the ecosystem.

All in 2026.
