Recently, Starknet has started to make some troubles, announcing its entry into the Bitcoin Layer2 field, and #STRK has finally risen.
The prerequisite for Starknet to expand Bitcoin is that the OP_CAT proposal is passed first. Bitcoin core developers now oppose the activation of OP_CAT, believing that Starknet has sufficient reasons to enter the Bitcoin extension layer. This should be the core resistance to progress and needs to be repeatedly pulled.
Now ETH L2 is too popular, and Starknet is also a long-term move, because once the constraints of the Ethereum mainnet are broken, Starknet's imagination space is no longer limited to layer2. Its ZK technology bottom layer and parallel transactions, Cario language and other original high-performance foundations have become its core advantages that distinguish it from other layer2. It can also attract more Western capital attention to the BTC ecosystem and provide stronger support for the rationality of the existence of BTC layer2.
