Starknet in Motion: Building, Shipping, Bitcoining, decentralizing, Non-Stop
The Starknet ecosystem is literally on fire. Building, shipping, onboarding, decentralizing, Bitcoining...
Honestly, I feel lucky to spend most of my crypto time (aka most of my life) working for this ecosystem
Here’s a glimpse of what’s been shipped in the last two months alone, and why there’s no second-best L2.
 |
New use cases
@focustree_app launched their new wallet on Mainnet, onboarding nearly 250k users on Starknet in just ~3 weeks. And it cost them
less than 1 ETH to do so. Focus Tree proved it: Starknet is the perfect home for consumer apps.
A major Perp DEX, @extendedapp, has started migrating from StarkEx to Starknet L2, finally unlocking the Starknet ecosystem with a top-tier Perp DEX (featuring community vaults, 50+ assets across crypto and TradFi, and an ongoing campaign for users).
The Argent card is live, letting users spend their Starknet assets on real-world purchases, anywhere, anytime. There is no need for a bank anymore if you don’t want one.
A new stablecoin is now available on Starknet, thanks to @vesuxyz and @relend_network.
@RemusDEX, an orderbook-based spot DEX, launched on Mainnet.
@colonizxyz, a Twitter x Patreon-style platform, is now available on Starknet.
A new yield farming protocol is launching next Monday.
Several games have also gone live on Mainnet:
Eternum, the most addictive and ambitious fully onchain game, only possible on Starknet
Ponziland, a GameFi project
Blobarena, a Pokémon-style game with real-world universe
Pistols, a 1v1 dueling game
Metacube, a Minecraft-style minigame
Crimson Fate, a rogue-like game
Speaking of gaming, @cartridge_gg keeps shipping innovations to improve the gaming UX stack:
Social login and EVM wallet compatibility are now live on the Cartridge Controller
Cartridge Credits launched to simplify onboarding via unified cross-chain balances
Cartridge Arcade is also live, the hub for Dojo-powered games and player activity
On top of all of that:
Scalable and privacy-focused dApps are now possible thanks to Starknet x Noir
AI agents are going bananas thanks to @kasarLabs and @daydreamsagents shipping
And much more projects and use cases are coming.

Bitcoin Use Cases
Moving from Bitcoin to Starknet, and back, is now easier than ever.
Xverse cross-chain swaps are live, letting users move BTC from Bitcoin to STRK on Starknet. The full Xverse wallet integration is on the way.
Garden, an intents-based bridge, integrated Starknet, enabling BTC transfers from 6 chains to Starknet.
Atomiq now supports cross-chain swaps from BTC on Bitcoin to wBTC on Starknet.
In terms of Bitcoin use cases on Starknet:
Lend your wBTC on Nostra and Vesu to earn ~7% APR.
Pay in the real world via Lightning Network, and directly from Starknet using the @myBraavos mobile wallet
Lombard is also coming, and it’s bringing massive BTC liquidity to Starknet

Appchains
The SN Stack officially launched in January 2025, and 3 appchains are already building on top:
StarkPay, an all-in-one payments infra
Agent Forge, an AI marketplace chain
ofc @tradeparadex, the Starknet appchain OG, building a Perp DEX (much more now) and shipping nonstop for over a year.
On top of that, the L3 building block is now fully available for buildors, and @karnotxyz can even provide full chain abstraction for appchain projects when needed.
 |
Decentralization
Staking V2 (phase 2/4) is live on Testnet and launching on Mainnet in June.
Speaking of staking,Binance now supports STRK staking.
 |
Stack
In terms of stack, the ecosystem never slows down when it comes to optimization. Thanks to Starknet v0.13.5, Starknet is now the most efficient Rollup on the market.
 |
Most cost efficient Rollup, but also one of the fastest, with ~1,000 TPS capacity (and much more are coming).
 |
 |
Metrics
Thanks to all of that, Starknet's adoption metrics are in up-only mode.
StarkEx (permisionned version of Starknet) crossed 1 billion transactions.
 |
5 million account contracts reached on Starknet.
 |
Lending/borrowing on @vesuxyz hitting ATH after ATH.
 |
Yearly ATH in active users on Starknet.
 |
Starknet is now the #1 ZK Rollup by TVS (Total Value Secured, previously TVL) and user activity.
 |
 |
What’s Coming
Obviously not an exhaustive list (just the tip of the iceberg):
EVM wallet compatibility via @rosettanetstark
More social login options from @cartridge_gg Controller (currently only Discord)
@hyperlane integration + bridges launch
Custom bridges for Bitcoin and Solana assets onboarding on Starknet
Bitcoin staking on Starknet
LBTC (Lombard) integration into the broader Starknet ecosystem
