The Starknet gang will be at @EthCC next week 🐺

We will notably have a beautiful arcade-like booth in the avenue 👾

And for those who won’t make it to Brussels, every morning between July 8 and 11, Lady Lord @shadowfax_m will live stream what is happening there 💅

StarkHack has set a new standard as one of the most successful online hackathons for Starknet!

Organized in collaboration with @ETHGlobal, no less than 151 teams built a project on Starknet during the event 👀

An even more interesting result from this event: the Indian community is cooking, and is cooking hard 🇮🇳🧑‍🍳

The organization of a physical event on top, BuildStation Bangalore, provided participants with direct mentorship and a collaborative environment.
The results speak for themselves:
🐺 4 out of the 12 winning projects emerged from BuildStation Bangalore.
🐺 The Indian community ranked as the 2nd highest visitors of the Cairo book for the last two months, showing almost 40% growth

Three key takeaways from this:
1️⃣ If you are building a Starknet community in a specific country, organize physical builder events either individually or on top of online hackathons. And don't worry: you'll have full support of @StarknetFndn and @StarkWareLtd to make it happen 🫂

2️⃣ If you are Indian and want to make your mark on Starknet, you're in luck: the Starknet ecosystem in India is booming, and many prominent community members are Indian; so don't hesitate to jump in, learn Cairo, contribute and ask for support!

3️⃣ Don’t fade the Indian community anon 🫵

For all diggers, here is the list of all Starknet projects from this hackathon:

Madara and Starknet Appchains

Gas fees have already been destroyed on Starknet; it's now time to improve our transaction finality and TPS capacity! 🐺

After collecting numerous feedbacks from our community, here is the updated roadmap of Starknet, fully focused on UX improvement 💅

🗓️ v0.13.2 August

💠 Parallel execution
💠 Block Packing

The main goals of these two significant upgrades are to decrease the confirmation time to 2 seconds and the block time without increasing L1 costs. Additionally, we aim to enhance the 'execute' limit to ≥10M steps, thereby increasing computation capacity by 2.1 times, and to boost our TPS capacity.

WTF does this mean? Very simple: faster transactions for users, without any additional cost, a better developer experience, and an increased congestion threshold 🕺

💅

🗓️ v0.13.3 October/November

💠 Cairo Native

This upgrade intends to optimize our Sequencer by incorporating the state-of-the-art Cairo-native by @LambdaClass. The goal is to enable the sequencer to bypass the VM entirely and execute native CPU opcodes.

Even more WTF than v0.13.2, what does this mean? Three main things 🤓
🐺 Improved TPS capacity, enabling Starknet to further increase its congestion threshold
🐺 Improved finality, resulting in faster transactions for users
🐺 Enhanced developer experience

💅💅

🗓️ v0.14 January/February

The implications of v0.14 are yet to be decided. We will adapt based on network performance and community demand.

Here are the possible candidates:
💠 Volition: to further destroy gas fees
💠 zkThreads: a novel framework for execution sharding that provides scalability and customizability without fragmentation (ELI5: L3/appchain benefits without the fragmentation issue)
💠 Mempool: to improve the organization and management of transactions (resulting in fewer rejected transactions), enhancing both user and developer experience
💠 Protocol-level paymaster: easy integration of paymaster for dApps, allowing developers to greatly improve the UX of their dApps

💅💅💅

Appchains on Starknet is definitely an exciting narrative ✨
