gm August 🌟 Starknet v0.13.2 coming this month Few 🐺

Strategic focus of the Starknet Foundation 🧑‍💼 The @StarknetFndn's main goals are to decentralize Starknet and grow the ecosystem. Discover how by listening to @jdiegooliva talk at @StarknetCC, covering current programs, their results, and what’s next ⚡

Gas fees are one of crypto's main problems in its quest to offer a web2-like user experience. Well, on Starknet, we are on track to build an ecosystem where gas fees will eventually become fully abstract 🤓 In three steps 👇 Step 1: ✅ Extremely Low Gas Fees Gas fees are already been destroyed on Starknet, with the current average transaction cost being just $0.004 🤯 And this is just the beginning: numerous optimizations are underway to continue reducing them over time (who said Voliton and Stwo? ⚡) Step2: ✅ Choice of token for gas fees payment It is highly inconvenient to always have to pay gas fees with a single token. Starknet is currently the only ecosystem where you can pay your gas fees across the whole network with two tokens: STRK and ETH. Moreover, @avnu_fi has recently launched its Paymaster infrastructure, allowing: 🐺 Users of its dApp to pay gas fees in USDC, USDT, LORDS, SWAY, EKUBO, ZEND and NSTR, with more tokens to come over time. 🐺 Starknet ecosystem dApps to integrate AVNU’s Paymaster into their apps to simplify gas fee payments for their users. We also plan to buidl a protocol-level Paymaster on Starknet, with a timeline still TBD (depending on community demand for this feature, so let us know if you really want it asap! 👀). Step 3: ⏳ Gas Fees? WTF is that? Combining Paymaster with Starknet's ultra-low gas fees brings us closer to a world where users won't have to pay gas fees to use dApps: projects will subsidize gas fees directly for users, similar to how web2 giants typically don't charge users for their infrastructure costs. We aren't joking when we say we want to combine the benefits of web3 with the UX of web2! This world is gradually becoming a reality 🏗️

We just updated the ✨ Bankless Guide to @Starknet ✨ See what's new now 👇 bankless.cc/Guide2Starknet

Our new prover Stwo just blew our mind 🔥 Here's a demo by @PapiniShahar and @EliBenSasson of our next-gen prover, Stwo, and its groundbreaking performance: proving 620,000 hashes per second using an M3 laptop! This is x1000 better than our current prover, Stone, and is the fastest in the market 💨 Stwo will be in production in early 2025, meaning that all Starknet-powered chains will be much faster to prove and more cost-effective! Tech Specs: We measured throughput for proving invocations of the Poseidon2 hash over M31 field on a MacPro M3 machine. Deep dive into Stwo here: github.com/starkware-libs/st…

GM Starknet's (extremely) low gas fees 👨‍🍳 These low fees pave the way for exciting use-cases, such as micro-payment based protocols, autonomous agents, DEPIN marketplaces, and gaming! Now is the perfect time to buidl your dream project on Starknet 🐺
