Unveiling Unframed - A new NFT marketplace from Argent

Last week, at the highly anticipated StarknetCC event, we proudly unveiled our latest creation: Unframed - the NFT marketplace for the Starknet community. 

We built Unframed to give the NFT community a gateway to all digital art, collectibles, and in-game items being built on Starknet. We believe that Starknet will become the dominant network for blockchain games, and that NFTs will play a significant role in the ecosystem as in-game items. 

Check out our announcement post here.

StarknetCC Recapped

StarknetCC was nothing short of amazing, thanks to the gigachads at Onlydust and Nodeguardians. There were tons of amazing speakers from different teams within the ecosystem (Starkware, Herodotus, Argent, Briq, Braavos, LambdaClass, Dojo, Giza, etc).

It started with an intro talk from Eli Ben-Sasson, Co-founder of Starkware, which really set the tone for the day. Then later on Vitalik joined an awesome panel session on Kakarot ZkEVM, and after that we launched Unframed. The Starknet ecosystem is alive and very well! 

Check out this amazing thread by Nurstar, for more details.

Starknet introduces Appchains with Paradex

With the introduction of Appchains, the Starknet Stack tech is now also available to applications that want to benefit from STARK proofs, native Account Abstraction, and the breakthrough in scaling Ethereum.

Appchains can implement features that are not available on Starknet's public chain yet, such as their own fee market logic, consensus mechanism, and other innovations.

Paradex has taken the plunge into DeFi on Starknet by taking advantage of the ability to build custom Appchains. They offer perpetual futures trading with deep liquidity, capital efficiency, and performance while remaining transparent and self-custodial. The launch of Starknet appchains was big news at EthCC.

Fibrous launches StarkRekt

The Fibrous team recently announced the launch of StarkRekt, a tool that allows you to revoke token approvals not only for Fibrous but for the entire Starknet ecosystem!

StarkRekt helps you reduce the security risks associated with excessive approvals. 

Sphinx relaunches as an AMM

The Sphinx team announced they will be relaunching Sphinx as a new AMM that ships with an integrated smart contract maker.

Some of the new features that ship with the relaunch include open-source libraries of market-making strategies, deep liquidity and yield from day 1, and the ability to launch new tokens in minutes. We’re excited about this one!
