TLDR:
Quantum Leap hits Mainnet
ZkSync Era is transitioning to a STARK-powered proof system
Starknet’s Remix plugin is live
Quantum Leap hits mainnet
After so much anticipation, Starknet v0.12.0 a.k.a Quantum Leap finally hits mainnet. This upgrade means so much to the entire ecosystem, as it has increased the throughput of the network tenfold. But that's not all!
Significant improvements have been made to the Starknet Sequencer, such as the integration of Cairo rs, a highly efficient Cairo runner developed by @class_lambda in Rust. And then there’s the development of the Blockifier, a Rust-based block execution logic that plays a vital role in enhancing throughput. Upgrades like these are why we’re so excited about the future of Starknet.
ZkSync Era is transitioning to a STARK-powered proof system
The Matter Labs team has unveiled Boojum - a high-performance proof system for radical decentralization. Boojum will transition zkSync Era to a STARK-powered proof system, providing world-class performance on consumer-grade hardware.
With nearly all scaling validity-proof systems embracing STARKs are there any doubts as to STARK being the end game for scalability? I think not.
Juno v0.4.1 is live
The much anticipated Juno v0.4.1 by the Nethermind team is finally ready for download!
Syncing 90000 blocks on a VM now takes around 24 hours, down from the previous 41 hours. This marks an impressive 1.7x increase in syncing efficiency! You could check the full changelogs here.
AVNU is now trackable on DefiLlama
Following their strong commitment to transparency, the AVNU team has announced that they are now trackable on Defillama.
You can now monitor AVNU’s growth, and track their daily, weekly, and monthly trading volume here. They’re currently on track for their biggest day of trading volume!
The Starknet Remix plugin is live
@rohitjrn from Nethermind just revealed that the Starknet Remix plugin being developed by the team had gone live.
The Starknet Remix plugin is aimed at helping you compile, deploy and interact with Cairo contracts very effortlessly. It’s one of many gigabrain projects by the Starknet Nethermind team.
A new Token page on Voyager
The Voyager team at Nethermind also recently announced the addition of a tokens page to the Voyager Explorer.
The tokens page is aimed at showing every ERC20 and ERC721 token contract on Starknet including the amount of transfers and the amount of holders per token.
Here’s one for all you on-chain sleuths. There's also an active users page, to help you track the activities of the most active users on Starknet 👀
