Starknet’s secure settlement on Ethereum scales the network by orders of magnitude. How? ✅Starknet’s STARK proof of bundled transactions and state diff are sent to Ethereum. ✅The verifier on Ethereum analyzes the proof. ✅Math—meaning the STARK proof—ensures all transactions are valid. ✅The confirmed proof is then sent to the Starknet core smart contract, which updates the Starknet state on-chain. ✅The new Ethereum block is then voted on by nodes and, voila! Finalized. Learn more: 👇

Starknet is unique in the amount of computation it can run onchain. It’s no coincidence that three of the top Perp DEXs are building with us, and that Starknet hosts the most advanced fully onchain gaming ecosystem. All while delivering true decentralization, security, and soon, privacy.

$Ethereum Part 14: L1 zkEVM Every ETH validator re-executes every transaction in every block, millions of nodes, same computation. ZK proofs eliminate that entirely. One proof, at fraction of the cost. Same security. This is how Ethereum scales without breaking. Watch now👇$

Explaining Ethereum, Rollups and ZK and Optimistic rollups with memes (under 4min) TL;DW > Ethereum is decentralized but only moderately performant. Too many transactions slow the network and raise gas fees. > Rollups preserve Ethereum’s decentralization by handling execution and posting the data to Ethereum. > Different rollups vary in how they prove execution. ZK-rollups and Optimistic rollups are the most widely used, both submitting proofs to Ethereum.

The modular era has arrived and NEAR is set to take centre stage. Introducing the NEAR Data Availability Layer. Hot off the press at NEARCON23, NEAR DA is set to launch to offer secure, cost-effective data availability for ETH rollups. 🌐 NEAR DA marks NEAR's entry into the modular blockchain landscape with the lowest-cost DA offering in the Web3 market today. It's a game-changer for projects building Ethereum rollups. Posting rollup data on NEAR is 8,000 times cheaper than on Ethereum. With powerhouses like Starknet (Privacy Arc), Caldera, Fluent, Vistara Labs, Dymension, and MovementLabs joining the initial launch, NEAR DA builds upon NEAR Protocol’s 3+ years of secure, reliable blockchain tech with 100% uptime. 🛡️ "We are super excited about this opportunity. Starknet continues to evolve and mature, and we are happy to see the variety of options Starknet developers have," - from Starknet (Privacy Arc). 🌟 "High throughput and low cost are important for the social, gaming, and consumer use cases we're focused on. These are things NEAR DA does really well and can't be achieved using Ethereum DA," shares Eggs, Dino from Fluent. 🎮 "Developers, and by extension their users, win when they have the freedom to use high-throughput and cost-effective DA layers like NEAR," - Matt Katz, CEO of Caldera. NEAR DA is not just about cost savings. It's about scalability, reliability, and accessibility. It's about reliability and integration with the Ethereum ecosystem. Supporting Ethereum L2s and high-quality projects launching app-chains. It's about building a more inclusive and efficient open web for all. 🌍 Developers and founders building on Ethereum rollups interested in using NEAR DA can visit to get started. Let's build the future of the open web. Together! 🛠️

1/ Starknet was built with quantum risk in mind from day one. STARKs are post-quantum resistant by nature. Native Account Abstraction makes wallets upgradeable by design. Post-quantum wallets are already possible on Starknet. And the remaining pieces require relatively little additional work from our side. In short, quantum computing is not a threat to Starknet’s future. If anything, it plays to Starknet’s strengths.

Tom Lee: Ethereum DATs can use ~$500 million in annual staking rewards to fund grants for Ethereum ecosystem “The Ethereum Treasuries — Bitmine and Sharplink among others — now own 7% of the Ethereum supply… Treasury stock is essentially supply permanently taken out from the ecosystem, but we also own the yield. The yield is around 3% so today these public treasuries are generating ~$500 million in rewards, and that is what we can use to fund and grant the crypto ecosystem.” Lee believes that the Ethereum Foundation narrowing its focus to CROPs (censorship resistance, openness, privacy and security) is the right decision. “Ethereum is a $240 billion network value entity. It has been operating for 11 years without a single day of downtime. There’s 11,500 nodes in 89 different countries. And there’s 15,000 developers. I think this is too big to be coordinated by a single foundation.” As Ethereum continues to scale, he believes the ecosystem will move beyond a foundation-centric model and points to private companies like Etherealize, Optimism, Consensys, Enterprise Ethereum Alliance, and Offchain Labs that represent the Ethereum ecosystem and are already doing enterprise engagement. “This list doesn’t yet reflect the spinoffs coming from the Ethereum Foundation. There’s at least five, and I think Bitmine will play a role in granting and supporting any of those that come out.” “I think Ethereum is in good hands because the foundation is going to be stronger by staying focused. We have a lot of private sector companies already building products and important L2s on Ethereum. And of course, the treasuries are here to help with funding and granting… If you’re bearish, you are selling at the bottom.”

Bitcoin's biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that. The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013. It's now time to scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK, making it more accessible to everyone. The overarching goal: to transform Starknet (Privacy Arc) to be a self-custodial decentralized L2 with full functionality over both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Hear more about the vision:

Just finished an absolute monster of a podcast with Justin Drake, and it’s packed with brain-melting insights on the future of Ethereum. Here are the juiciest takeaways from Part I 👇 Ethereum’s future could turn the L1 into a rollup itself and making it the best type of rollup. Justin lays out how the L1, L2s, and new designs like Beamchain, native rollups, and based sequencing all come together into a unified vision for Ethereum as the credibly neutral internet of finance. What’s Broken Today • L2s are siloed — synchronous composability is dead. • Most rely on centralized sequencers, multisigs & slow exit bridges. • L2-native assets break Ethereum’s trustless bridge model. • Governance delays, security councils, & EVM reimplementation = attack surfaces. The Fix: Ethereum-native Infrastructure • Based Rollups: Use Ethereum L1 validators as the sequencer. Removes centralization risk, restores censorship resistance. • Native Rollups: No more reimplementing the EVM. No more Security Council multisigs. They inherit Ethereum’s execution layer by design. •Preconfirmations: Users get fast UX (e.g., instant trading feedback) via ETH-backed inclusion guarantees from L1 validators, with slashing if they lie. • Real-Time ZK Proofs: Slot-by-slot proving is here. ZK-enabled rollups with instant finality are becoming possible. To get there, Ethereum is moving toward real-time, slot-by-slot proving using ZK SNARKs. This enables constant-time verification and removes the need for validators to re-execute blocks. Native rollups use a new EXECUTE precompile to introspect and reuse Ethereum’s state transition function. There is no EVM emulation, no governance lag, and no reliance on Security Councils. Preconfirmations offer ETH-backed execution guarantees per slot, priced to offset MEV opportunity loss, while based rollups decentralize sequencing by aligning with Ethereum’s validator set. Beamchain pushes this vision further: a clean-slate Ethereum L1 design that is post-quantum secure, radically simplified (validators could run on a Raspberry Pi), and ossified through optimality. It proposes gigagas/s throughput via ZK proofs, validator statelessness, and Attester-Proposer-Separation (APS) to maximize decentralization and censorship resistance, allowing Ethereum L1 to scale as a high-performance rollup itself. If you're building on Ethereum or betting on its future, this convo is mandatory listening. To be continued in Part II....
