🎉 Starkware Unveils Papyrus

Earlier last week, the team at Starkware unveiled Papyrus, a new open-source full node for StarkNet. Papyrus is built in the Rust programming language and tracks the state of the network as it evolves over time. 

It’s a crucial component in the ongoing development of the StarkNet infrastructure as it’ll provide the foundation for the new StarkNet sequencer, an upcoming feature that will significantly enhance the network's throughput.

🎨 Will your design win the Starkware sessions’ 2023 t-shirt competition?

StarkWare has asked the ecosystem to come up with some t-shirt designs for StarkWare Sessions. StarkWare sessions is going to be one of the biggest crypto events in 2023,  which means this could be a great opportunity for designers and artists!  

What do you win?

Not only do you get your design featured on a t-shirt that verifies (off-chain) your talent, but you’ll win tons of merch AND a free ticket!

📊 StarkNet added to L2Fees!

StarkNet just recently got added to L2Fees, which tracks fees across different Ethereum’s Layer 2 networks!

💡 Everything you need to know about Account Abstraction

StarkWare held an amazing event last week with the visionaries who imagined Account Abstraction and turned it into reality on StarkNet! 

The event hasn’t been uploaded yet to recap, but it should be soon. If you want to learn about Account Abstraction, this event is perfect for your curious mind.
