1/ @Starknet is building one of the most technically ambitious L2 ecosystems in crypto.
With the Bolt upgrade live & v0.14.0 coming soon, here’s why Starknet is positioning itself as a serious contender. 🧵

2025 is the year we’re doing everything we can to improve Starknet’s accessibility.
DevX is a key part of that plan.
Join the upcoming Governance Call this Thursday to discuss how we can improve Cairo and your overall dev experience.

Life is like a Shonen Manga.
Many will find this childish, but viewing life through the lens of a Shonen Manga truly helps me!
Life is difficult, filled with challenges, as we all know.
We all need sources of motivation and inspiration for those days when overcoming challenges feels particularly tough.
Since I was 4 years old, I've been watching anime and, later on, reading manga—and I still do!
I want to constantly push my own limits like Goku (R.I.P., Akira Sensei).
I want to dream big like Luffy, with a profound sense of loyalty to friends.
I aim to never give up and believe in the power of friendship like Naruto.
I strive to show profound compassion like Tanjiro.
I want to change the world like Eren.
All these characters have always inspired me; when I'm unsure of what to do, I try to consider how they would act in similar situations. Working in crypto, with its ambitious mission, requires extreme determination and a kind of utopian mindset, much like in a Shonen Manga where a bunch of individuals can literally change the world around them.
So yeah, Life is a Shonen, love and determination will always prevail. So keep figthing, Tatakae!
Today marks an exhilarating milestone for Starknet as we continue to decentralize the network and protocol.
Starknet is the network of trailblazers, the network of pioneers, the network of builders, the network of dreamers.
It’s about building for users, the best product, the best experience.
That’s what trailblazers, pioneers, builders, and dreamers are all about.
Trailblazing means taking risks, it means going where no one has gone before, it means being the first to do something.
Being the first, being the trailblazer, being the pioneer isn’t easy.
Being the first can lead to mistakes.
But it’s worth it! When we say Build Different, we mean it.
Starknet is built different because we want it to be LIMITLESS!
Our mission is simple: Scale Ethereum and bring it to the masses!
6 years ago, a paper called: “Scalable, transparent, and post-quantum secure computational
integrity”, was published.
It had a vision of a world where everyone can access integrity through math.
This paper was the genesis of what would become Starknet, years later.
And though six years feels like a lifetime ago, it’s merely a blink compared to the lasting impact we will have on blockchain and beyond.
We build Starknet for the decades to come, for the generations to come.
Today the Wolf is out, and the Wolf Pack is ready.
I am changing my PFP for the occasion, and I am ready to howl with my fellow wolves.
Howl with me my wolves: Awoooooooooooo 🐺 🔊
Wondering why @MadaraStarknet chose Substrate for its blockchain framework? Here are some insights! 🤔
Madara is built using Substrate, the blockchain framework created by Parity for Polkadot.
Substrate provides a modular, production-ready stack that has powered some of the most demanding blockchain applications. Even complex projects like Moonbeam run on Substrate.
While Substrate has a steep learning curve, its architecture and use of Rust traits enable immense customization once mastered. It has just a few assumptions and compiles efficiently to WASM.
Beyond Polkadot, many chains and projects are now leveraging Substrate for its flexibility. After years of battle-testing, Substrate allows changing even low-level details like consensus logic without hardcoded limitations.
And despite the framework's complexity, Madara has a large, active and helpful community where devs with diverse backgrounds collaborate and help each other out. You don't need to be a Substrate big brain to contribute and start budling.
Substrate provides a unique blend of modularity, customization, production-readiness, and innovation that perfectly suits a novel project like Madara building Validity (ZK) Rollup infrastructure on Starknet. No other framework offers that mix out of the box.
Join the grind! 🔥
Who's gearing up to dive into @MadaraStarknet during the @ETHGlobal Istanbul hackathon? 🕌🇹🇷
We've got our stellar @MadaraStarknet geniuses @tx_track and @tdelabro ready to add their personal magic to ensure you make it to the winner's circle! 🌟
Here's a quick introduction to @MadaraStarknet , the open-source Starknet sequencer
Madara is an open-source Starknet sequencer built using Substrate. As a sequencer, Madara plays a crucial role in the architecture of Starknet by processing transactions and generating blocks.
On Starknet, the sequencer takes transactions from users and executes them on the Layer 2 network using the CAIRO virtual machine. It creates blocks that are later proven valid by the prover component.
Madara aims to mimic the behavior of the public Starknet mainnet. This means devs can use Madara to run Starknet smart contracts just as if they were deployed on the live network. Madara can also be used to build custom Starknet Appchains that settle on Ethereum.
An Appchain powered by Madara would enable running Starknet smart contracts on a proprietary network separate from the main public network. So Madara could potentially be used to implement a Layer 2 or even Layer 3 solution anchored to Ethereum.
One of the most exciting aspects of Madara is that it is an open-source, community-driven project. With over 70 contributors from diverse backgrounds and companies, Madara exemplifies the collaborative spirit of crypto development.
By building an open-source sequencer for Starknet, the Madara contributor community is advancing the decentralization and accessibility of Validity Rollup (aka ZK Rollup) technology. Devs worldwide can benefit from and build on top of this shared public good.
Madara shows off the potential for open-source coordination in crypto. Its community of contributors is rapidly growing, making it an important component of Ethereum's scaling roadmap.
The Madara no Shinobi seek skilled shinobi to join the crusade.
For the glory of decentralization! For freedom! For Madara!!! 🔥💥🎌
Normal day on Starknet
On @SatoruStarknet telegram group (Perp exchange for Starknet inspired by GMX v2 design):
@GuthL : You know what would be great. The ability to deposit from L1 using the new Bridge ability
Me: great idea! @edisinovcic and @zarboq can you sync on this to see if it's possible
(for context Edi is actively working on bridging features between Ethereum and Starknet, and Zarboq is one of the Satoru main contributors)
And 4 minutes later a group is created and they are already talking about the design of how it could work, + @GuthL is adding new very cool ideas on top and @edisinovcic saying they did research on exactly this. And those crazy guys are now actively discussing about the architecture (paymaster, batch withdraw, defi pooling etc etc).
Starknet builders community is unreal.
Join us in shaping the future of decentralized finance on Starknet!

Starknet is strange right ?
Ok let's make it even more strange and start to Zig-pill a bit the ecosystem.
Let's start with a Cairo VM in Zig ?
Ok let's build it together fam: https://t.co/WqDY5AoIys
