For @Starknet, all roads lead to Bitcoin.
But we have no idea which implementation path will work.
Here's the full breakdown of all the ways Starknet could become a BTC rollup.
ꜜ
Been engaging with the community for almost three years and never been more disappointed than I am at present. Just personal feeling and stuff.
Nevertheless, I'm bullish on Starknet. Having spent years familiarising myself with the infrastructure and getting to know the ecosystem, the nerwork capacity has grown from less one to thousands of TPS (even without Cairo native execution and Stwo prover integration yet) and it just reached Stage 1 now.
The team is made up of intelligent people who are dedicated to their work. They demonstrate the importance of integrity through their own actions,
not hypering around but generating the best tech, which has sometimes been complained about by a minority of users. But we must understand what exactly constitutes and underlies the blockchain. The tech that sets people free.
For Starknet's future vision, i really look forward to the developement after Starknet's settlement on BTC. Starknet can really play a crucial role in enabling BTCfi and win over liquilidty to solve the dilemma of the current ecosystem. Many times when we talk about eco-development, we might as well look at other chains. It's as simple as that: the liquidity is there.
When Stage 1? Now 💅
Starknet has just leveled up to a pure Stage 1 ZK Rollup, once again proving our commitment to security and decentralization.
No more training wheels, Stage 2 is next.
1/ We are excited to collaborate with @Lombard_Finance to bring LBTC to @Starknet.
LBTC is liquid staked BTC, backed 1:1 by native bitcoin. With LBTC on Starknet, users will gain access to a growing range of DeFi use cases powered by Bitcoin.
This is a big step in making Bitcoin more useful across DeFi, and is another step towards our long-term goal: a single place where both Bitcoin and Ethereum can scale, thrive, and be built on. 🌱
Thanks to the SN Stack, StarkPay’s Privacy Chain is able to bridge between EVMs, Solana and Bitcoin in a private, affordable and secure way.
Market is bullish and so are we.

.@ParadexFNDN isn’t just another DEX—it’s rewriting how options work on-chain.
Perpetual options = leverage without liquidation, no expiry, and capped downside.
Meanwhile, updated tokenomics lock insiders in for real.
