Here’s the thesis behind starknet > an L2 that scales Ethereum and is not on the lines of scaling bitcoin and zec (can’t be more bullish) > current focus is on btcfi and privacy > the network has a dual token staking model where you’d be able to stake $STRK and $BTC to secure the network and right now STRK staked amount is at (922m strk tokens) while BTC staked amount is at (948 BTC) which aggregates about 250m+ just securing the network. > the best in class ux all possible through native account abstraction allowing web2 like ux. > the network has achieved 2500 UOPS, close to 1k TPS (can do much much higher), 500ms transaction latency, and about $0.001 gas fees for most tx and also free when done thru wallets like ready and Braavos since the txns are so cheap, wallets just say; yeah we can handle that. > it’s got a decentralized sequencer architecture rn > it’s got the fastest prover in the world (stwo) > and currently privacy applications are possible thru noir program and garaga, but it’ll be having protocol level privacy, very very soon. > close ties with the zcash and near team n community - the holy trinity of privacy currently > already an existing poc ontop of zcash on testnet scaling zcash through a new chain called Ztarknet > the team that talks less and ships way too much. quite a lot more btw > finally “@EliBenSasson fixed privacy with ZK (Zcash), then fixed scalability with ZK (Starknet). now he’s going to fix both using Starknet/Ztarknet.” - lyskey there’s only one way that starknet is going, and it’s only up.
