Starknet posted on platform X stating that account abstraction allows for changing the verification logic while keeping the address, balance, and history unchanged, thus switching to a post-quantum signature scheme without modifying the protocol.Starknet stated that as an Ethereum L2, its settlement, data publishing, and cross-chain bridges still rely on Ethereum and elliptic curve cryptography; researching an independent L1 would allow it to set its own cryptographic schemes and migration timelines. The independent L1 is still a research direction, STRK remains the native token, and there are currently no plans to issue new tokens. Any decision to migrate to L1 must go through a binding governance vote.

According to Onchain Lens monitoring, the Binance hacker has begun selling STRK, increasing market selling pressure.The total unrealized profit of two Hyperliquid traders' STRK short positions is 4.46 million dollars, with one having an unrealized profit of 1.61 million dollars and the other having an unrealized profit of 2.85 million dollars.

The Starknet Foundation announced the launch of the Bramble wallet, which integrates STRK20 shielding features, allowing users to hold private balances. Currently, Bramble only offers a Chrome browser extension version, with plans to support a broader ecosystem in the future.

According to Gate market data, STRK has broken through 0.1 USD, currently reported at 0.1022 USD, reaching a new high for the year, with a 24-hour increase of 40.8%.

The Ethereum scaling network Starknet, built by StarkWare, has indicated that it is actively considering transforming into an independent Layer 1 network (L1), with 2027 set as the target date to become the first fully quantum-resistant network. STRK was approximately $0.073 on Friday, up about 20% in 24 hours, more than doubling from around $0.03 in April.StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that after becoming L1, Starknet will be able to control security upgrades independently, without waiting for Ethereum to advance related work. As a Layer 2 network (L2), Starknet currently relies on Ethereum for security; after transitioning to L1, it will verify and secure transactions on its own.Eli Ben-Sasson pointed out that quantum computers may potentially break the elliptic curve cryptography used by Bitcoin and Ethereum in the future, and developments in AI in the field of mathematics also pose another risk. The Ethereum roadmap is expected to complete its core quantum-resistant infrastructure around 2029, while Starknet plans to advance this to 2027; currently, no quantum computer exists that can break these systems.

According to market data, STRK briefly broke through $0.056, currently reported at $0.05338, with a 24-hour increase of 23.93%.According to Arkham monitoring, the suspected crypto KOL Qwerty (@Quanterty) address made an early investment of $767,000 to purchase approximately 17.454 million STRK 13 hours ago, with an average price of $0.0439, and the current unrealized profit has reached $170,000.

Founder of Strategy Michael Saylor posted that Strategy plans to adjust the dividend mechanism for STRF, STRC, STRK, and STRD, intending to accrue dividends daily, including weekends and holidays, and pay them on the next business day.Saylor stated that this proposed adjustment will not change the economic terms of the relevant securities, and the main goal is to enhance price stability, liquidity, and market demand.

StarkWare announced that Starknet revenue has now flowed back into the Starknet ecosystem. This is the first time that StarkWare will delegate 25 million STRK generated from Starknet sequencer revenue back to the ecosystem.The aforementioned 25 million STRK will operate through delegation to support projects and contributors that help develop Starknet, further strengthening ecosystem construction.

Starknet announced the opening of its privacy development stack to developers, launching a privacy SDK and privacy wallet API, allowing applications, wallets, and protocols to integrate private balances, private transfers, and related DeFi interaction features based on STRK20.

According to official news, Starknet announced that STRK20 is officially launched, positioned as a privacy framework suitable for any assets in the Starknet ecosystem.This solution supports users to transfer assets into the privacy pool with one click, and developers can also integrate privacy features at a lower development cost through the software development kit and wallet application interface.

According to The Block, Starknet has launched the zero-knowledge privacy framework STRK20, which provides balance shielding and private transfer capabilities for any ERC20 asset on the network, and has first been implemented on strkBTC.This framework allows developers to introduce privacy features for scenarios such as transfers, exchanges, lending, staking, payments, and donations without the need to build a separate privacy system.STRK20 embeds a "shielding" mode in the asset path, rather than using a traditional mixer structure, while introducing a viewing key mechanism that selectively discloses specific wallet information only upon receiving legally valid requests, balancing privacy protection and compliance requirements.StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson believes that such ZK privacy solutions are expected to make regulatory investigations more precise and reduce the collateral impact on a large number of wallets.

The Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet developed by StarkWare officially launched strkBTC, a new type of asset based on Bitcoin, designed to achieve privacy balances and anonymous transfers through zero-knowledge proof (ZK) technology, while maintaining composability with DeFi applications.After the launch of strkBTC, it supports "re-anonymization," allowing assets to be bridged back to a new, unassociated Bitcoin address, and provides compliance auditing and asset screening functions.

According to monitoring by Lookonchain, the whale address 0x84b3 is going long on various popular tokens, currently holding 3.08 million NEAR, 75.55 million STRK, 9,561 XMR, 1.28 million TON, 14.86 million AZTEC, and 71.99 million PUMP.Among them, the NEAR position is valued at approximately 4.83 million USD, STRK at about 4.30 million USD, XMR at around 3.80 million USD, and TON at approximately 3.33 million USD.

Coinbase announced on the X platform that it has opened trading for Aethir (ATH), Raydium (RAY), PolySwarm (NCT), and Starknet (STRK) to residents of New York State. Users can now buy, sell, exchange, send, receive, or store these digital assets on the website and mobile app.

According to The Block, Starknet is developing a new privacy feature aimed at enabling teams to issue protected stablecoins and other assets while maintaining compliance.This feature is called the STRK20 framework, developed by StarkWare, and is expected to be deployed on Starknet later this year.The framework is designed to provide token-level privacy protection for assets issued on Starknet, keeping transactions and balances confidential while being compatible with decentralized finance (DeFi) applications. According to the team, Starknet's solution is expected to support ERC-20 tokens—the standard used by most fungible assets on Ethereum.

The Ethereum Layer 2 network Starknet, developed by StarkWare, announced the launch of a new type of asset based on Bitcoin, strkBTC, which supports balance shielding and private transfers while maintaining full composability in decentralized finance applications.It is reported that strkBTC allows Bitcoin holders to interact on Starknet DeFi while keeping transaction amounts and counterparties private. The system will deterministically issue strkBTC based on verifiable Bitcoin deposits, avoiding arbitrary control during the issuance process.

According to the official blog, Starknet has announced the launch of a new type of wrapped asset, strkBTC, aimed at providing optional privacy protection features for Bitcoin. strkBTC is an asset issued on Starknet that can be exchanged bi-directionally for native Bitcoin, designed to address the financial privacy leakage issues caused by the transparency of the Bitcoin ledger.strkBTC supports two modes: in "non-shielded mode," it operates as a standard ERC-20 token, with balances and transfers publicly verifiable; in "shielded mode," asset balances and transaction details will be hidden. This privacy mechanism is designed based on pragmatism, defaulting to confidentiality for the public, but supporting compliance audits through a Viewing Key to ensure it can operate in regulated environments. With strkBTC, users can participate in DeFi collateralization or settlement without exposing their positions and strategies. Starknet states that strkBTC will be officially launched soon and will gradually expand its privacy features in the future.

StarkNet announced that its native token STRK has been launched on Solana through the NEAR Intents cross-chain solution, allowing users to receive STRK directly in their Solana wallets without the need for traditional bridging processes.NEAR Intents utilizes a solver execution model, where users only need to specify the outcome, and the execution process is handled automatically in the background. STRK will be traded on the Solana DEX Jupiter, with Meteora serving as the primary liquidity venue. Notably, this collaboration comes after the official Solana account mocked Starknet for having only 8 daily active users.
