1/ Privacy, quantum security, and Bitcoin: three of crypto’s hardest problems, representing trillions in potential economic value.

Starknet is going after all three with $STRK sitting at the center of it.

I put the entire thesis into one place:

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

In a single month, Starknet became the most complete privacy ecosystem in crypto.

Only a month after officially introducing Shadow Accounts, every major Starknet app now offers a private mode.
→ @avnu_fi: Private swaps
→ @EkuboProtocol: Private swaps & liquidity provision
→ @vesuxyz: Private lending & borrowing (only one missing and coming soon)
→ @SuperVegaXYZ: Private options trading
→ @endurfi: Private staking & unstaking
→ @trovesfi: Private yield generation
→ @arcxtrade: Private points trading
→ @OpusMoney: Private borrowing, stablecoin minting, & LP staking
→ @DashXHQ: Private payroll
→ @Haven_Hn_: Private neobanking
→ @OffMarketcx: Private prediction markets using Polymarket liquidity

You can swap, provide liquidity, trade options, borrow, stake, earn yield, receive your salary, and participate in prediction markets, all privately!

All of this within the same ecosystem, using the applications people already know.

On top of that, any app, including Web2 apps, can easily integrate private onchain flows thanks to Starkzap’s integration of STRK20 and Shadow Accounts.

So thanks to Starknet, privacy is moving from a standalone product to becoming a native feature of an entire financial ecosystem.

This is the fundamental difference between private money and programmable privacy:
→ Zcash pioneered private money.
→ Starknet is taking the next step by making privacy programmable across an entire financial ecosystem.

We're still early in terms of adoption, and liquidity needs to grow, but the infrastructure is finally fully ready.

And with the entire ecosystem now offering a private mode, I'm confident adoption will accelerate in the coming weeks.

TLDR: Starknet now offers the most complete programmable privacy ecosystem in crypto.

No second best, really 🥷

[StarkWare @StarkWareLtd]

1/ Zcash has fixed the need for private money, and so does Starknet for programmable privacy.

In just a couple of months, Starknet built the most complete privacy ecosystem in crypto.

Swaps, yield, staking, borrowing, options, payroll, and more, all with a private mode 🧵

@MentorNotPseudo XXXXX coded

[Mentor @MentorNotPseudo]

FOMO and PUMP are doing an incredible job marketing a product we haven’t even launched yet.

Follow me. I’ll reveal XXXXX here and let you know when you can get your hands on it.

[StarkWare @StarkWareLtd]

ZTARKNEAR is back.

Join @zkdragon, @ilblackdragon, and @elibensasson to discuss the quantum threat and how Zcash, NEAR, and Starknet are preparing for it.

Tomorrow at 6 PM CET.

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

@jedshock @alistrago_crypt @StarknetFndn @Starknet @EliBenSasson @ready__x @myBraavos yes but it doesn't change the conclusion:
- Ready team is fully focused on Ready now, which is a product on Base
- Ready X is mostly in maintenance mode

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

Btw, on the StarkWare side:
→ Starknet
→ STRK20s: a privacy pool for all crypto assets, with deep DeFi integrations enabling programmable privacy
→ @SuperVegaXYZ: the best UX for trading crypto options
→ @OffMarketcx: the only place to trade prediction markets privately
→ QSB: the only way to protect your Bitcoin from the quantum threat today

On the Starknet Foundation side:
→ @Bramble_fi: a new wallet bringing together everything Starknet has to offer

I'm probably missing a few, and more is coming.

[nairolf @0xNairolf]

450 days later and more chain teams are building apps themselves

if your entire business depends on attracting users to your infra, why would you leave the most important part of that equation entirely to third parties?

especially when chain teams are often sitting on treasuries and can afford to experiment with ideas that smaller teams simply cant

bullish crypto overall

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

@lesabrefomo this is what StarkWare is doing btw with @SuperVegaXYZ & @OffMarketcx

and Starknet Foundation with @Bramble_fi

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

Very interesting.

DROPS 47: @Starknet: Agents Will Adopt Blockchain Before Banks Do

@EliBenSasson, co-founder of @Zcash and Starknet, explains why he believes crypto will become the way people and AI agents handle money, and why most people haven't realized the world's financial infrastructure is being rebuilt.

He also covers what Bitcoin is missing, from privacy to its resistance to change, how quantum computers and superintelligent AI could threaten it, and the technology he's building to fix it.

@alistrago_crypt @StarknetFndn @Starknet @EliBenSasson @ready__x @myBraavos you can import your Ready/Braavos wallet to Bramble

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

Because they are using STARK.

its been like 3 months of anthropic dominance

[OffMarket @OffMarketcx]

Literally all of your Polymarket bets are public.

What you traded. How much. When. Your P&L. Your connected accounts.

Today, we’re launching the OffMarket Checker. See what your public account reveals:

1/ The last week in the pack.

Infra, apps, metrics… here’s your Starknet weekly recap 🧵

[Boots @bootzz]

impact social media has had on humans is extreme & depressing

deleted everything other than x about 2 years ago

felt ostracized at first , realized most ppl who I thought were “friends” were either searching for validation from me or using me to their benefit / holding me back

you’d be surprised how few will get in contact with you when it’s not liking a post or sending a video

the ‘matrix’ is a word I like to use when referencing social media

keeps everyone in this dumb bubble , no productivity , constant advertisements , passing time while learning nothing

Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) predicted absolutely everything. In the book ppl would take ‘soma’ a drug that was an antidepressant & hallucinogen. kept people in order & passed time by eliminating CRITICAL THOUGHT

this drug was distributed by the state - and those that rejected this way of life lived outside of the city - completely different way of life

counter culture movements will definitely spike over the coming years

phones (mostly social media) make us less intelligent.

our phones listen to everything we say & algorithms keep us staring at the screen

don’t believe the first part? start talking out loud about a random topic a few times for a day- then go on instagram or YouTube shorts and see what pops up

weigh your pros & cons

all I know is that removing myself from this bubble was a key reason I’ve gotten to a great place in life so far

it will 1) help you succeed massively & 2) strengthen your true relationships whilst making you a better human being , for yourself.

sorry if there is some rambling in here / unorganized sentences

tired & abt to sleep

[Kevin Follonier - MR SHIFT 🦁 @KevinWSHPod]

This Tuesday, I’m releasing a 45-minute DROPS with @EliBenSasson - Co-founder of @Starknet.

After co-inventing Zcash, Eli is now building towards a broader vision with Starknet: programmable, private money with a good user experience and the ability to adapt to new cryptographic threats.

His thesis: the rails for the global economy are being rebuilt and Starknet is being built for that future.

We talk about:
- Why money rails take decades, from paper cash to ATMs, to get adopted
- How ZK Starks let you trust a computation even if Darth Vader ran it
- How Starknet brings programmability to the privacy vision behind Zcash
- Why sovereign wealth funds and asset allocators are calling his team about quantum risk
- How AI agents will drag humans onto blockchains
- How Starknet’s account abstraction helps accounts adopt quantum-resistant signatures

And much more...

DROPS out this Tuesday!

Starkzap recently crossed 10,000 downloads, and now it's becoming a complete programmable privacy toolkit!

Until now, we've mostly focused on bringing privacy to existing applications across the Starknet ecosystem.

But what about developers building entirely new apps?
> npm install starkzap

With one TypeScript SDK, developers can integrate:
→ Social login & wallets
→ Gasless transactions
→ Swaps & DCA
→ Bitcoin staking
→ Lending & borrowing
→ Cross-chain bridging

And now, with STRK20 integration, they're also getting a complete set of privacy tools:
→ Shield & unshield assets
→ Private transfers
→ Private DeFi
→ Shadow Accounts
→ Private balance discovery
→ Transaction history
→ Batched operations
→ Transaction simulation & privacy warnings

10,000+ downloads and counting. Time to make that 100,000.

[StarkWare @StarkWareLtd]

1/ 10,000+ downloads. One SDK. Now with programmable privacy.

Starkzap has integrated STRK20, bringing shielded balances, private transfers, and private DeFi to its complete money toolkit.

A new way for developers to bring privacy into their apps 🧵

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

Stopping bELIeving now would be a huge mistake.

Can't say more, but StarkWare's internal Slack is going crazy ATM.

A lot of important changes and new shipping are coming over the next six months.

[StarkWare @StarkWareLtd]

Never stop building, clicking, and bELIeving.

So much more is coming.

[Cosmonautes @LesCosmonautes]

Now imagine what Starknet L1 will look like!

Prove in the most efficient manner everything that has value:
- Private Assets (now)
- Inference
- Proof of Reserves
- Interchain / Interbank txs
- IP / Identity / Ownership

[Brother Lyskey 🥷 @Lyskey]

You’re not bullish enough.

[StarkWare @StarkWareLtd]

Anthropic is using cryptography StarkWare’s founders co-invented to prove which AI model answered you.

With FlashProve, you can verify that a specific model produced an output while keeping its weights private.

The report cites the original STARK paper, highlights the use of STARKs on @Starknet, and references formal verification work on Cairo and the S-two AIR. StarkWare co-founder Alessandro Chiesa is one of the report’s co-authors.

Another big validation for our Proving System.

The same cryptographic ideas that help scale blockchains are now helping make AI inference verifiable.
