Starknet's Maturity & Expansion
Starknet's Maturity & Expansion
🚀 Starknet's leveling up
Starknet has reached impressive maturity levels:
- 500 TPS capacity
- $0.002 average gas fees
- 2-sec transaction waiting time
The ecosystem is expanding rapidly:
- Hyperlane integration for improved bridging
- BTC loans on Starknet via Lendasat
- Upcoming DualVM Validity Rollup with Kakarot ZK-EVM
- New DeFi dApp (@strkfarm) crosses $1M TVL
Art Peace Round 2 was a success, showcasing network capabilities.
Note: This is not financial advice. Always DYOR.
New record, more projects, more fun Here’s a recap of last week’s top highlights from the Starknet ecosystem 🧵👇
Beyond the fun of this experience, Art Peace notably showcases the robustness of Starknet: > Peak TPS on Mainnet: 503 > Average transaction cost: ~$0.001 USD And the best part? More optimizations are coming to push these even further

2-sec tx waiting time, ~400 TPS capacity, ultra-low gas fees, with many more optimizations coming over time 👨🔬 With our stack now ready for mass-scale apps, it's the perfect time to dive into @StarkWareLtd's (Starknet's main contributor) vision with @EliBenSasson. 🗓 wen: Sept
gm fam Just a friendly reminder of what's coming before the end of this year: > STRK staking phase 1: with a permissionless staking protocol and stake > Starknet v0.13.3: notably featuring Cairo-Native for more network optimization > @KakarotZkEvm Mainnet: bringing the EVM to
Maturity & Expansion. That’s the key theme for Starknet these days. Here are the most important updates from the Starknet ecosystem last week 🏌️♂️
Starknet v0.14.0 Launches on Testnet with Multiple Sequencers and Sub-second Confirmations
Starknet's latest upgrade v0.14.0 has hit testnet with significant improvements: - **Multiple sequencers** now run consensus, enhancing network decentralization - **Sub-second pre-confirmations** boost transaction speed - Builds on v0.13.4's improvements including: - Cairo-Native for faster contract execution - L2 gas implementation - Stateful compression reducing storage costs - Enhanced developer experience The upgrade represents a major milestone in Starknet's evolution toward a more decentralized and efficient network.

Cross-Chain Integration: Bitcoin and Ethereum Unified
A groundbreaking development in blockchain interoperability enables seamless access to both Bitcoin and Ethereum through a single chain. This integration represents a significant milestone in cross-chain technology. Key points: - Single access point for both major blockchain networks - Simplified user experience for cross-chain transactions - Enhanced interoperability between Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems The unified chain solution builds on earlier developments from March 2025's 'One Ethereum' initiative, marking a practical step toward blockchain network convergence. *Technical implementation details and security measures are still under review.* **Learn more about this integration: [Crosschain Documentation](https://docs.crosschain.eth)**
Starknet v0.13.6 Update Prepares for S-Two Integration
Starknet announces version 0.13.6, scheduled for Testnet on June 30 and Mainnet on July 8. This update lays groundwork for S-Two, StarkWare's next-gen STARK prover. Key improvements: - S-Two will cut proving time from 24 to 3 minutes for 2B L2 gas blocks - Proving costs expected to reduce by 50% or more - Resource counting enabled - Transaction costs and UX remain unchanged *Note*: Cairo Native temporarily disabled on Testnet, planned reintegration in Q3.

Asset Runes Enable Native Bitcoin Stablecoin Trading
Asset Runes technology is enabling direct stablecoin trading on Bitcoin for the first time, eliminating the need for cross-chain bridges or wrapped tokens. The development is being implemented through @dot_swap's platform. - Trading is powered by an onchain orderbook - Features Full Mempool Protection - Currently in beta phase - Supports BTC to Rune swaps - Rune to BTC swaps being gradually implemented This marks a significant step toward native Bitcoin DeFi functionality without requiring users to leave the Bitcoin network.
Starknet Enables Cross-Chain Development Across Bitcoin and Ethereum
Starknet is positioning itself as a unified development platform that allows builders to create applications that can leverage both Bitcoin and Ethereum networks simultaneously. Key ecosystem partners supporting development include: - OpenZeppelin - The Graph Protocol - Nethermind - OnlyDust - StarkWare - Starknet Foundation This cross-chain development capability represents a significant step toward blockchain interoperability, allowing developers to harness the unique strengths of both leading networks.
