2026 hasnโt been a year of promises for Starknet.
Itโs been a year of shipping.
Quantum-safe Bitcoin.
Privacy primitives.
$25M STRK flowing back to builders.
1.5B STRK staked.
+1,200% YoY revenue growth.
8 months down. 4 to go.
And if this is what Starknet shipped before September, Iโm very curious what the final 4 months look like. โก๏ธ
