Last week, we hosted Demo Day for PROOF.
7 teams showed us how they plan to build privacy into their products on Starknet.
Watch the full livestream in the quoted post 👇
We believe the next generation of stablecoin neobanks will be private.
Every neobank should have a privacy layer, not as an extra feature, but as core financial infrastructure.
This is the thesis we presented at the @StarknetFndn Demo Day.
We’re entering a rapidly growing market with an equally important challenge: bringing financial privacy back to users in an onchain world.
Haven is building the infrastructure for private stablecoin banking.
And we’re just getting started.
Starknet is growing and the Foundation is hiring:

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
1/ A few weeks and one SDK were all it took to bring builders together to create 200+ privacy projects on Starknet.
After reviewing the submissions, here are the three winners of the STRK20 hackathon 🧵

In these last 8 weeks, it’s been amazing getting to mentor really (and I mean REALLY) good founders. Most of them second time founders, with traction already handling millions in TVL. This PROOF cohort of 7 companies are seriously impressive. We weren’t messing around when we selected this cohort.
I’ve also gotten to bring in some of the best industry experts to mentor and lead masterclasses and workshops. They gave hard hitting advice and incredibly transparent insights.
(It’s such a bonus that they happen to also be some of my friends who I admire most in this industry. It feels awesome to be so proud of them.)
The Starknet PROOF Demo Day is coming up on Sep 22nd. DM me if you’re a VC or LP and I’ll give you first look into the companies.

The results we attained from https://t.co/WwDnY0U8rO matter. But what it says about who gets to contribute to frontier research and how breakthroughs emerge may matter more.
Open Autoresearch turns difficult research into something people can watch, understand, and increasingly participate in.
AI changes what interested outsiders can do.
https://t.co/WwDnY0U8rO is one example, and there will be plenty more.
JUST IN: The first post-quantum resistant Bitcoin transaction was mined today.
"It required no soft forks. It required no hard forks. It required no core protocol upgrades. And it's live today."
