Tomorrow, November 15, 2024, Starknet will unlock 64 million STRK tokens, which is about 3.95% of its total circulating supply. This unlock is important because it allows early contributors and investors to access funds that were previously locked away.

StarkWare, the main developer firm behind Starknet, had shared in July that it would introduce a proposal for staking on the blockchain, but had not previously fixed the date of the rollout.

Ethereum's co-founder Vitalik Buterin deposits 2.09 million STRK tokens on Binance.

TL;DR Vitalik Buterin deposited 2.09 million STRK tokens on Binance, resulting in a loss of approximately $714,000. This deposit follows its investment in StarkNet's seed funding round in 2018. The STRK transfer was made when the tokens were worth $799,000, while five months ago they were worth $1.51 million.

As Starknet (STRK) cryptocurrency is getting closer to losing its place in the top 100, Vitalik Buterin sent a massive 2.09 million STRK deposit to Binance (BNB). The asset almost touched a new all-time low before today's crypto surge.

Starknet roadmap is focusing on reducing network fees with upgrades planned through 2025.

Key Points:

In early August this year, the Starknet Foundation appointed James Strudwick as Executive Director following Diego Oliva's departure. Since joining the foundation in January, Strudwick has brought a renewed vision centered on Starknet's technological advancement, accessibility for developers, and global outreach.

TL;DR Starknet hit a new record of 857 TPS on its mainnet during a stress test. The test averaged 127.5 TPS over a 24-hour period, showing its potential for high-demand applications. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson says Starknet's scalability is real and further developments are expected by 2025.

Starknet, the Ethereum layer-2 network, has hit a new transaction per second (TPS) milestone that outstrips that of other L2s. On Oct. 29, the project announced on X that its network reached a peak of 857 TPS on the Starknet Mainnet, surpassing its previous high of 503 TPS.

Starknet's new TPS record hints at scaling potential for Ethereum but raises key questions about real-world scalability.

Here is how some of your favorite assets concluded the week.

Since the Ethereum Foundation proposed ZK-Rollups as one of the most efficient ways to scale Ethereum, this technology has become extremely popular and has managed to revolutionize the blockchain ecosystem.

The recent vote within the Starknet community has given the green light to a new staking feature, known as “SNIP 18.” This proposal, developed by core team member StarkWare, received broad support, with 98.94% of voters endorsing it through Snapshot's decentralized Snapshot X platform.

Meanwhile, the SEC claimed that when it said "crypto asset securities" it never meant tokens were actually securities.

Users holding over 20,000 STRK will soon have access to a new staking mechanism for the token following a near-unanimous vote.

TL;DR Starknet to Introduce Staking: Starknet will launch staking for its STRK token after the SNIP 18 proposal was overwhelmingly approved by the community. Community Support: The proposal saw 98.94% approval, highlighting strong community backing for decentralization efforts.

Starting in the fourth quarter of this year, Starknet will enable users holding more than 20,000 STRK tokens to stake on its network.

The approved staking mechanism for STRK token could significantly enhance community participation and drive the network towards full decentralization. The post Starknet community greenlights staking mechanism for STRK token appeared first on Crypto Briefing.

Starknet implements dynamic minting for STRK tokens, balancing staking incentives and token supply with community backing.

Starknet has approved a governance proposal, named “SNIP 18,” to implement staking within its network.

The new mechanism on Starknet means that anyone holding more than 20,000 STRK will be able to stake on the network, from the fourth quarter of this year.

TL;DR Osmosis launches Polaris, a “token portal” that simplifies cross-chain trading through a single interface, addressing fragmentation in DeFi. Polaris will allow users to operate with tokens from various networks, such as Ethereum and Solana, without the need for multiple wallets or bridges.

The team behind the Cosmos-based decentralized exchange (DEX) Osmosis said it is preparing to launch a new project called Polaris that they've been developing in stealth.

Osmosis, the leading interchain decentralized exchange (DEX) and DeFi hub on Cosmos has unveiled plans for a new product called Polaris, described as a “Token Portal” designed to address fragmentation issues in the digital assets ecosystem.

Osmosis has introduced the Polaris portal, a solution to the fragmentation that crypto users face across decentralized finance. With crypto's increasing popularity, the number of different blockchains and their associated ecosystems has surged.

Digital coins flourished today as the crypto market cap reclaimed the $2 trillion level after a 3.18% increase in the past day. While such sentiments catalyzed significant gains in the altcoin space, Starknet (STRK) displayed struggle, losing 2.97% in its daily chart to hover at $0.4137.

Previously, participating in DAOs required paying gas fees for voting, which could sometimes exceed ten dollars. These costs created barriers to participation and made on-chain voting less appealing.

Starknet is set to hold its first on-chain vote on Sept. 10. Hopefully, it will set a precedent for protocols to follow going forward.

Governance voting platform Snapshot has announced the launch of Snapshot X, a new onchain voting protocol.

LayerZero's CEO commented on the inclusion of a “big Sybil hunt” to block bots and reward real users. The main reason for Sybil filtering was due to fake accounts trying to claim airdropped tokens.

TL;DR Snapshot Labs has launched Snapshot X, an on-chain voting protocol using Starknet's roll-up technology, eliminating gas fees and enhancing security for DAOs. Snapshot X allows users to prove asset ownership on one blockchain without moving them, reducing costs and improving security through storage proofs.

This innovation revolutionizes governance by eliminating gas fees, lowering costs, and enhancing security. Snapshot X is built on Starknet's roll-up technology.
