1/ Payroll should not be public.

But onchain, wallets, amounts, timing, and patterns are visible to anyone watching.

PriPay, built on STRK20, shows how payroll can move onchain without leaking everything 🧵

1/ JUST IN: practical privacy at real scale is now live.

1-click privacy, low-cost privacy, private DeFi…

For all assets, now live on Starknet 🧵

ending the year with a bong!

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

We built the base in 2025.

2026 is the year we send it: BTCFi, privacy, token alignment…

See you in the trenches.

[Rimon Labin @rimonl]

@Starknet super cool!

[Rimon Labin @rimonl]

i hope i can win this one!

1/ Zypherpunk Hackathon is now officially live, and Starknet is backing it with $10K in prizes.

With a based lineup, a real mission, and a clear vision, this one hits different.

Join Ztarknet and build the future of privacy 🧵

[Rimon Labin @rimonl]

@Starknet @USDC it's about time

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

1/ Native @USDC and CCTP v2 are coming very soon to Starknet.

Native USDC powered by a mint-and-burn mechanism.

A real turning point for DeFi on Starknet 🧵

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

1/ All Bitcoin yields, one place.

Starknet Earn is now live in Beta.

One click to access every Bitcoin yield opportunity; simple, secure, and built for all risk profiles 🧵

[Rimon Labin @rimonl]

a nice way to enjoy both worlds!

1/ Wrapped BTC paved the way, but it’s time for the next evolution.

Together with @AlpenLabs, we’re building the most trust-minimized bridge possible between Bitcoin and DeFi.

No honest majorities. No wrappers. Just pure, verifiable BTC on Starknet 🧵

6/ On the other hand, we also anticipate that the improved security brought by Bitcoin staking and the deep integration of BTC into the Starknet ecosystem will spark a powerful flywheel, driving:

- Network adoption
- Number of STRK staked
- BTC inflows
- New DeFi strategies

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

7/ Speaking of DeFi strategies, BTC stakers can stake their BTC and still deploy it in DeFi through @endurfi’s liquid-staking service.

With it, you can stake once and earn twice: staking rewards plus DeFi yield.

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

@endurfi 8/ And the extra STRK issuance from BTC staking? Ultra-minimal.

Suppose there are 600 million STRK staked: with BTC and STRK staking combined, total inflation stays near 1%.

If 1.2 billion STRK (x2 more than now) were staked, inflation would be about 1.38%.

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

@endurfi 9/ So what exactly went live?

- BTC holds 25% of consensus weight (STRK = 75%).
- BTC staking is delegation-only; if a Bitcoiner wants to run its own validator, they must first stake at least 20k STRK.
- Unstaking for both BTC & STRK is just 7 days

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

@endurfi 10/ Only wrapped BTC can be staked right now, WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, and SolvBTC, all counted 1:1 for power and rewards.

Governance can approve more wrappers through an approval process.

Each wrapper has its own pool, and withdrawals always return the same token you deposited.

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

@endurfi 11/ To mitigate trusted-bridge risk (wrappers) on Starknet consensus before the BitVM bridge launches:

- Emergency delisting, already live: instantly remove any compromised wrapper
- Entry delay, potentially coming: 24 h wait before new BTC counts toward consensus.

[Starknet (Privacy Arc) @Starknet]

5/ Bitcoin is also directly tied to STRK in a positive loop: the more STRK is staked, the higher the BTC-staking rewards.

How?

BTC stakers receive a fixed 25% share of those emissions, so their APR rises and draws even more BTC into Starknet’s consensus.
