@StarkWareLtd· 12 days agoRT @ayyyeandy: ZK is advancing at such a fast pace. Gotta love it. In addition to the S-two work from Starkware team, they have placed more emphasis on token performance (which is needed by all L2 teams trying to reignite enthusiasm for their token) Right now, there are currently two delegation programs by StarkWare and by Starknet FND. Total STRK staked is now 420m+ which is ~12% of supply, its easier than ever to become a profitable validators on Starknet. The main point here is to push towards a progressively decentralized future for the chain. Hearing that the team will introduce multiple sequencers for the first time as well. With L2beat becoming more strict on their ranking systems (and the FUD from alt-L1s), I imagine more rollup teams will prioritize their decentralized roadmap.

@StarkWareLtd· 12 days agoRT @EliBenSasson: *S-two + Privacy + Client-side proving – how, what, why* 🧐 S-two prover is out. It delivers unbelievable performance. One exciting use case this performance will allow is client-side proving and privacy. Here's a short explanation: Stwo allows proving complex logic with little computing Which means: Complex computations become feasible on average devices Which means: Proving could happen on users' devices Which means: Users could prove things without disclosing data to others Which means: Apps can offer privacy, because the client-side proof ensures validity Here's a longer explanation: *S-two* S-two is the new open-source prover built by StarkWare. Until now, proving required powerful machines. S-two is built differently (over a small field), which turned out to be so efficient, that S-two enables light machines to prove complex logic. The kind of proving that currently needs strong computers will soon be possible with everyday devices (your laptop? your smartphone? yes). *Client-side proving* With S-two, apps could let users generate proofs on their devices. They can prove - on their phone or laptop - that their transactions meet required criteria and send the proof to the operator. *Privacy* Since the proving is done on the client side, users can prove their trade meets all requirements, without revealing additional data. They don't need to share with the whole world the details, just that their tx meets the required criteria. Like proving you are older than 18 years-old, without specifying your age. Why this matters – On blockchains, user transactions - and all the info in them -are public. This is info that TradFi users and companies prefer to keep private. TradFi leaning into DeFi means an upcoming surge in use cases that combine DeFi with requirements for privacy. That's why. Link to blog post and JAW-DROPPING benchmarks in the next tweet The END

@StarkWareLtd· 26 days agoThe first delegation round of the StarkWare Delegation Program has been executed! Dozens of active validators have just received delegation from StarkWare, and a new round of applications is now open. We’re also thrilled to share that StarkWare is now running its own validator, capped at 10% of the total stake. Both initiatives are part of our contribution to Starknet’s long-term decentralization roadmap. Staking v2 is live, and as we prepare for v3 (targeted for end of year), growing validator diversity is critical to making the network more resilient, secure, and community-driven. If you want to be part of the StarkWare Delegation Program and missed the first round, the next registration window for active validators is now open. Apply below 👇

@StarkWareLtd· about 2 months agoIntroducing StarkWare’s Delegation Program 🌱🌐 We’re excited to announce the launch of our delegation program, designed to support Starknet’s decentralization by empowering validators, especially smaller ones, to help secure the network and earn rewards in the process. As part of this initiative, StarkWare will gradually delegate millions of STRK to eligible validators. This effort aims to expand the staking pool, improve stake distribution, encourage new validator participation, and increase the overall decentralization of the network. To qualify, validators must meet the following requirements: > Be an active validator > KYC/KYB compliance > 99% uptime (liveness) > Maximum commission capped at 10% > Active participation in the Staking V3 testnet (coming end of year) The initial registration period is open until July 1, 2025, and the first round of delegations will be executed shortly after 🗓️ Apply before the deadline to be among the first validators eligible for this program 👇
@StarkWareLtd· about 2 months agoRT @rf_extended: As previously announced, Extended is migrating from StarkEx to Starknet. The migration process will begin in the first half of July 2025, with the exact start date to be communicated separately. This tweet answers four key questions: 1. Why migrate? 2. What does the migration mean for users? 3. Why Starknet? 4. What’s the long-term vision? In the thread, I’ll also walk through what the migration process will look like from a user’s perspective. 1. Why migrate? Originally built on StarkEx, a ZK-based scalability solution by @StarkWareLtd, Extended has been limited to perpetuals. As we expand our product suite beyond perps — into unified margin with integrated lending markets and spot trading — we need a more composable and scalable foundation. 2. What does the migration mean for users? Users will experience no disruption to their trading experience after migrating to the Starknet instance. Starknet functions purely as a settlement layer, with all chain-specific logic fully abstracted: • EVM users won’t need to set up a Starknet wallet • Near-instant deposits and withdrawals will be supported across six major EVM-compatible chains 3. Why Starknet? When choosing a settlement layer, we focused on four key factors: • Security: A Stage 1 ZK-rollup with fast L2 and rollup finality (hours vs days on optimistic L2s) • Performance: ~2 sec transaction confirmation and ~$0.00005 average user operation cost • Longevity: StarkWare has been building through multiple market cycles for 7+ years • Vision alignment: Starknet is aiming to be the first L2 to settle on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, enabling Extended to natively support BTC and its yield-bearing wrappers as a collateral — a leap toward deeper liquidity and broader capital efficiency 4. What's the long-term vision? We’ll be sharing more details soon, but in a nutshell, Extended is building an open financial ecosystem powered by global unified margin, enabling users to deploy their crypto assets in the most capital-efficient way. The first phase of this roadmap focuses on integrating native lending and spot markets into Extended. This will allow users to post any supported asset — including yield-bearing ones — as collateral, and earn additional yield through the integrated lending layer. The longer-term ambition is to build an EVM-compatible network on top of Starknet, where unified margin logic is embedded directly into the base layer and exposed as an ERC-20 token accessible to all applications on the network.

@StarkWareLtd· 2 months agoRT @isabelfoxenduke: BITCOIN RAILS EPISODE #24: The History of Zero-Knowledge Proofs | with ZK “Godfather” Eli Ben Sasson In 2013, computer science professor @EliBenSasson presented his research on zero-knowledge proofs at a small Bitcoin conference outside of Standford University. The presentation immediately sparked interest from Bitcoin Core developer Greg Maxwell—leading Eli into over a decade of sustained work advancing ZK-based solutions for blockchain scalability and privacy. Today, zero-knowledge proofs are widely considered some of the most powerful and promising cryptographic primitives for scaling—with their full potential for Bitcoin simmering just beneath the surface of active development.

@hieuvueth· 2 months agoThe S-Two upgrade is a turning point for Starknet.

@PioGerard· 2 months agoI asked @tradeparadex 's boss yesterday: If privacy is so important, why wasn’t it built into Paradex from day one? The answer was simple: back then, the tech wasn’t ready. That’s why you don’t see this kind of privacy anywhere else either. And just to be clear; we’re not talking about darkpools here. We’re talking about zk-powered privacy; something that requires serious compute and engineering to get right. But what about now? Just last week, @StarkWareLtd unveiled S-two, which changes the game. The tech is here now. The real question is: who has the guts and confidence to be first? The answer is Paradex! They’re not just thinking about it; they’re building it. And they’re moving faster than anyone in this space. What’s the impact? To me, it’s obvious... Institutions, VCs, funds, legend like @JamesWynnReal , will gravitate toward Paradex. Because this isn’t hidden-fluff; it’s a privacy moat built on real zk tech. Paradex is aiming for the top 1. There is no second best. BoB, Binance or Bust ..... iykyk 😎 Taken from Starkware post: "With S-two, anyone will be able to generate zero-knowledge proofs instantly on local devices: phones, laptops, and even directly in the browser. That means you can prove your activity; in real-time, by yourself, using your own hardware."

@Assemble_io· 2 months ago[May 29: CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE-1] • The Most Published News @GameStop has made a significant entry into corporate Bitcoin holdings by purchasing approximately 4,710 $BTC valued at about $513 million, funded through a $1.3 billion convertible note offering. This move positions #GameStop among the top public companies holding #Bitcoin, reflecting a growing trend of businesses diversifying with digital assets despite some short-term stock volatility following the announcement. Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Labor reversed its 2022 guidance discouraging cryptocurrency inclusion in 401(k) plans, signaling increased governmental support for crypto investments within retirement portfolios. The announcement coincides with broader institutional interest as @BlackRock prepares to acquire a 10% stake in @Circle's upcoming IPO, further indicating traditional finance’s growing embrace of regulated crypto-related enterprises. • Current Market Trends Bitcoin maintains price consolidation near the $108,000 level, with market dominance rising above 64%, suggesting strengthening relative performance against altcoins such as Ethereum and Solana, which are struggling below key moving averages. Futures markets highlight a bullish tilt with heavy call option interest over $110,000 strikes and continued inflows into Bitcoin spot ETFs, signaling sustained institutional and retail appetite. Ethereum shows increased institutional preference demonstrated by elevated futures open interest and premiums compared to Bitcoin, though network activity remains subdued amid growing competition. Altcoins are poised for potential rallies as traders dismiss bearish market fears, supported by improving ETH/BTC ratios and expectations of a robust altcoin season in the medium term. • Regulations and Policies The U.S. Department of Labor’s rollback of its prior restrictive guidance on cryptocurrencies in 401(k) retirement plans restores fiduciary discretion, removing government overreach concerns and potentially paving the way for broader crypto adoption in retirement portfolios. Concurrently, momentum builds around the GENIUS Act, with U.S. Vice President JD Vance highlighting its role in expanding stablecoin use as digital payments, promising regulatory clarity and user protections. The SEC’s cautious yet evolving stance is evident in delayed decisions on various crypto ETFs while preparing for further DeFi-focused roundtables. In parallel, UK’s FCA seeks public input on stablecoin and custody regulation, aiming to enhance market integrity and prevent failures. • Technology and Innovation @bitgetglobal’s rapid expansion to list over 120 tokens through an AI-powered screening mechanism and features like gas fee abstraction illustrates innovation bridging CeFi and DeFi, streamlining on-chain user experiences, and enhancing native token utility. StarkWare launched its S-two mobile-optimized zero-knowledge prover, significantly advancing cryptographic proof capabilities on personal devices, which may bolster scalability and privacy across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Coinbase introduced CDP Wallets with enhanced security and cross-chain capabilities, aiming to simplify developer integrations and improve multi-chain asset management. Polygon and GSR’s Katana network launch intends to unify fragmented DeFi liquidity, targeting institutional adoption by creating sustainable yield strategies and compliance with Layer 2 standards. • Institutional Investor News Prominent institutional and corporate players continue aggressive Bitcoin accumulation: Trump Media & Technology Group announced a $2.5 billion capital raise dedicated to Bitcoin purchases; Norway’s K33 secured $6.2 million for Bitcoin treasury strategies; and Japanese firm Metaplanet raised $21 million in bonds to increase $BTC holdings. VivoPower International pivoted to a treasury strategy centered on $XRP, backed by significant funding led by Saudi royalty, signaling diversification beyond Bitcoin in corporate crypto portfolios. BlackRock's planned 10% stake acquisition in Circle’s IPO highlights growing traditional finance confidence in stablecoins and crypto infrastructure. The trading platform eToro expanded its offerings with 12 new tokens post-SEC settlement, demonstrating confidence in regulatory progress and growing retail demand. • Market Forecasts and Expert Opinions Market experts remain bullish on Bitcoin’s long-term trajectory with price targets ranging from $130,000 to $1.5 million over the coming years, driven by institutional demand, regulatory clarity, and stablecoin market growth. Bitcoin analysts caution that near-term corrections to key support levels around $94,000 are possible amid elevated leverage and significant whale activity but reinforce a strong uptrend. Altcoin season is anticipated to gain momentum, with Ethereum positioned favorably among institutional investors, while XRP may see a 48% price surge if the spot ETF gains approval. @GoldmanSachs favors gold as a safer hedge compared to Bitcoin due to Bitcoin's volatility, emphasizing diverse approaches to macroeconomic risk management. • Security and Hacking News Cork Protocol suffered a $12 million exploit involving wrapped staked Ether, leading to contract suspension and investigations. North Korean hacker group Lazarus targeted individual investors with malware stealing over $5 million, underscoring persistent threats to retail users. Additionally, the OSIRIS Chrome extension has been flagged for deploying trojan software to compromise wallets, emphasizing the need for user vigilance when interacting with Web3 tools. • Conclusion Crypto investors should consider the growing institutional participation and regulatory acceptance that underpin Bitcoin’s and Ethereum’s strengthening market positions, while being mindful of short-term volatility risks owing to leveraged trading and macroeconomic uncertainties. Corporate purchases like those from GameStop and Trump Media signal increasing mainstream adoption, suggesting a maturing asset class. Regulatory developments, especially in stablecoin frameworks and retirement plan inclusion, provide a more supportive environment. However, persistent security vulnerabilities necessitate cautious portfolio and operational security management. Investors are advised to monitor key support levels, regulatory developments such as the GENIUS Act and SEC rulings on ETFs, and institutional moves to navigate this evolving landscape with balanced optimism and prudence.

@Assemble_io· 2 months ago[May 28: CRYPTO MARKET UPDATE-2] • The Most Published News @GameStop has officially disclosed its purchase of 4,710 $BTC, marking its first publicly announced Bitcoin acquisition. The purchase follows the company's earlier announcement of plans to invest in Bitcoin, financed through a $1.3 billion convertible note offering. Following the news, GameStop's stock price showed positive momentum, reflecting investor optimism about the company's crypto strategy. Telegram plans to issue $1.5 billion in new bonds with a 9% yield, backed by investors like Citadel and BlackRock, to repurchase its 2021 debt. Despite legal challenges faced by founder Pavel Durov, Telegram posted a $540 million profit in 2024, driven by premium subscriptions and blockchain partnerships. The news triggered a 6% rally in Toncoin, linked to Telegram’s blockchain ecosystem, and the TON Foundation appointed a former Visa executive to lead global payments strategy. • Current Market Trends Bitcoin reached new all-time highs near $110,000, buoyed by increasing corporate adoption, strategic reserve accumulation, and its growing perception as an inflation hedge and safe haven asset. Spot Bitcoin ETFs saw a nine-day consecutive net inflow streak, led by @BlackRock's IBIT, signaling strong institutional appetite. Ethereum surged over 45% in a month, driven by upgrades, growing DeFi activity, and boosted by SharpLink's @Ethereum treasury announcement, with spot ETFs also recording steady inflows. Meanwhile, altcoin dynamics remain mixed: Solana faces growth headwinds due to declining memecoin activity and scaling challenges, whereas XRP is positioned for potential bullish momentum supported by ETF catalysts and upcoming developer events. Market volatility remains moderate, with cautious optimism underpinned by macroeconomic stability signs such as easing tariffs and improving U.S. consumer confidence. • Regulations and Policies The U.S. stablecoin regulatory landscape is evolving as the GENIUS Act nears final Senate deliberation, aiming to impose licensing, reserve, and transparency standards on stablecoin issuers, favoring compliant tokens like USDC while challenging algorithmic and decentralized stablecoins. The SEC continues to review XRP spot ETFs cautiously, with public comment concluded and decisions expected by October. Congressional and executive initiatives are underway to establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve, supported by bipartisan legislative efforts and backed by former President Trump, with proposals including leveraging mining royalties and tax incentives for methane-powered miners to finance Bitcoin accumulation sustainably. Globally, Luxembourg labeled crypto firms as high-risk for AML in a 2025 report, increasing compliance scrutiny under MiCA regulations. • Technology and Innovation StarkWare unveiled S-two, a mobile-capable, zero-knowledge STARK prover delivering up to 39x faster cryptographic proofs on consumer devices, set to integrate with Starknet to enhance privacy and scalability in decentralized applications. The Ethereum layer-2 network also launched Asset Runes to enable Bitcoin-native USDC and real-world token exposure on its platform, broadening Bitcoin ecosystem utility. Cross-chain innovation progressed as Avalanche and Filecoin launched a native data bridge linking Avalanche’s smart contracts to Filecoin's decentralized storage, improving scalability and cost efficiency for enterprise applications. MetaMask integrated the Solana network into its desktop wallet, broadening multi-chain user access. Additionally, Tether partnered with Zengo Wallet to enhance self-custodial stablecoin security leveraging MPC technology. • Institutional Investor News Cantor Fitzgerald initiated a $2 billion Bitcoin financing business, providing bitcoin-backed loans to firms such as Maple Finance and FalconX, marking a substantial institutional integration into crypto credit markets. Strive, led by Vivek Ramaswamy, closed a $750 million PIPE financing round targeting innovative alpha-generating Bitcoin strategies and treasury growth. BlackRock increased Bitcoin ETF exposure by 25% and publicly recommended allocating 2% of portfolios to Bitcoin, signaling robust confidence from a leading asset manager. SharpLink Gaming’s institutional funding backed by Consensys and venture firms reflects growing institutional readiness to utilize Ethereum as a treasury asset. GameStop’s Bitcoin treasury initiation and Circle’s IPO filing further signal mainstream institutional endorsement. • Market Forecasts and Expert Opinions Experts forecast sustained bullish momentum for Bitcoin, with James Wynn projecting a near-term surge to $118,000 and Michael Saylor envisioning potential growth to $1 million driven by increased Wall Street allocation. Ethereum could reach $4,000 by mid-2025 or higher by 2026, propelled by protocol upgrades and institutional interest. Standard Chartered projects Solana to hit $500 by 2029 but underperform Ethereum in the near term due to network scalability constraints. Market analysts highlight the importance of regulatory clarity and institutional reserve builds for future price appreciation, while cautioning about possible short-term volatility fueled by macroeconomic uncertainties and highly leveraged positions. The Bitcoin options market expresses bullish optimism, though some traders anticipate corrections before major conferences. • Security and Hacking News The Sui blockchain’s Cetus decentralized exchange suffered a $223 million exploit due to a math library bug, triggering a community vote and intervention by the Sui Foundation to recover $162 million in frozen funds and reimburse affected users fully. North Korea-linked Lazarus hacking group continued illicit activity, laundering over $5 million in cryptocurrency using mixers like Tornado Cash. Security alerts were raised over OSIRIS Chrome extension trojan threats targeting crypto wallets, emphasizing the ecosystem's persistent vulnerability to sophisticated cyberattacks. Coinbase faces a class-action lawsuit related to regulatory breaches and data incidents, spotlighting ongoing legal and operational risks in crypto firms. • Conclusion The cryptocurrency market exhibits strong institutional momentum, highlighted by significant public company treasury acquisitions, major fundraises, and rising ETF inflows amid improving macroeconomic signals. Regulatory frameworks, especially in the U.S., are evolving toward clearer, more robust stablecoin and Bitcoin reserve legislation, reducing uncertainty for investors. Technological innovations in privacy, scalability, and cross-chain interoperability continue to enhance blockchain utility and security, although vulnerabilities persist, underscoring the need for diligent risk management. Retail and institutional investors should watch for upcoming SEC decisions on ETFs, legislative developments, and macroeconomic indicators while adopting prudent position sizing and diversified strategies amid occasional short-term volatility. Long-term accumulation remains favored as Bitcoin and Ethereum solidify roles as foundational digital assets in global finance.

@StarkWareLtd· 3 months agoRT @fede_intern: One of the major mistakes Ethereum’s leadership made in recent years was failing to work more closely with @StarkWareLtd. While StarkWare has made some mistakes, and I have been affected by a few myself, they remain one of the most consistent and innovative teams in the space. They are deeply committed, hard working, and guided by strong principles of integrity. The fact that they are from Israel also brings valuable geographic and cultural diversity to an ecosystem that can sometimes feel too concentrated in a few academic circles from Europe and the US. Over time, I believe people will understand just how important Eli has been to the industry. STARKs have reshaped the blockchain world, and StarkWare has introduced several foundational innovations that are now essential to Ethereum’s L2s. I am confident their influence will soon extend to Ethereum’s L1 as well. Ethereum leadership is changing and fixing many relevant things. I believe we should rebuild our relationship with StarkWare. Ethereum will become stronger and better by having somebody like Eli closer involved in the decision making. I believe he can be very useful to Ethereum. The ecosystem would benefit greatly from stronger collaboration and deeper integration of their capabilities at the protocol level.

@charles48011843· 4 months ago昨天的 @KaitoAI 分数竟然莫名其妙的高📈？现在真的摸不清楚计算方法了，不过能这么📈挺意外的。1000分努努力快了！ 为什么还有这么多yapper在建设🤔，还是有肉🐂吃呗，上面投票项目越来越多，不仅给项目变相的宣传，经过自身的写作投研也对很多项目有了深入了解，而且很多不错的项目还是给优质的yapper们给予了不少的空投🪂奖励。 最近的@Pumpbtcxyz $PUMP 记得去查空投！！ 查询入口：https://t.co/xBtiFydcoy 作为defi老玩家，对dex-去中心化合约这类产品有这很强的敏感度早年的 熬夜淦的 @dYdX （可以说是全网最大的空投没有之一）后面就继续干 @GMX_IO @OfficialApeXdex @perpprotocol @SynFuturesDefi。为什么觉得这些都不错，因为有自身造血能力的dex值的你长期玩。 今天在@KaitoAI 看到有PARADEX项目上线投票合作，也是一款去中心化衍生品交易平台，得空一起来了深度解下项目（⚠️⚠️写的比较长，看到最后有操作获得xp的方式，最长大文！！）： PARADEX @tradeparadex 是一个基于 Starknet 的去中心化衍生品交易平台，其团队由加密货币领域顶级风险投资机构 Paradigm 孵化。Paradigm 成立于 2018 年，由 Coinbase 联合创始人 Fred Ehrsam 和前红杉资本合伙人 Matt Huang 共同创立，专注于支持前沿区块链和加密项目。 Paradigm 不仅提供资金支持，还可能为 PARADEX 提供了战略指导和技术资源，尤其是在 Starknet 的 Layer 2 技术整合方面。这种背景赋予了 PARADEX 在技术可信度和行业人脉上的先天优势。 经济模型 PARADEX 作为一个去中心化衍生品交易平台，其经济模型预计围绕平台原生代币（尚未公开具体代币名称，可能在未来空投中披露）展开，结合 DeFi 和衍生品交易的特点。 交易费用分成：用户在平台上进行衍生品交易（如永续合约、期权等）时需支付手续费，部分费用可能用于回购代币或奖励流动性提供者。 token激励机制（🌟🌟值的去撸一下）： 通过空投或质押奖励吸引早期用户和流动性，类似许多 DeFi 项目的“挖矿”模式。官方已明确表示将于 2025 年 7 月左右进行空投🪂，这表明代币将在短期内用于激励用户参与。 治理功能：代币持有者可能拥有对平台参数（如费率、产品上线）的投票权，增强社区驱动特性。 Layer 2 成本优势：基于 Starknet 的低交易成本和高吞吐量，PARADEX 的经济模型可能强调低费用竞争优势，以吸引更多交易者和资金。 项目融资 PARADEX 的融资主要由 Paradigm 领投，这为其提供了强大的资金后盾。Paradigm 管理的资产规模超过数十亿美元，且以支持高潜力区块链项目著称。虽然具体融资金额未披露，但参考 Paradigm 对其他项目的投资（如对 Starknet 开发公司 StarkWare 的数千万美元投资），PARADEX 可能获得了数百万至千万美元级别的种子轮或早期融资。 此外，Starknet 生态的支持可能带来额外的资源整合，例如生态基金或合作伙伴的协同投资。PARADEX 的融资模式表明其无需依赖大规模公开募资（如 ICO），而是走精英化路线，依赖顶级 VC 的背书和战略支持。这种方式降低了早期财务压力，使团队能够专注于产品开发和技术优化。 项目特点 PARADEX 的核心特点可以从其技术架构和市场定位中总结如下： 基于 Starknet 的 Layer 2 技术：利用 Starknet 的 ZK-Rollup 技术，PARADEX 提供高吞吐量、低延迟和低 Gas 费用的交易体验，解决了以太坊主网的高成本问题。 💻去中心化衍生品交易：专注于永续合约等衍生品市场，与中心化交易所（如 Binance）竞争，同时保持用户资产自托管的 DeFi 优势。 🧮高性能与可扩展性：Starknet 的技术支持使其能够处理复杂交易逻辑，适合专业交易者和机构用户。 👌用户友好交互：从 X 上的反馈来看，PARADEX 的交互方式简单，参与门槛低（如钱包数量不到一万），吸引了早期“撸毛”用户。 ⚠️无华人背景：这一点被社区提及，可能意味着其目标市场更偏向国际化，而非特定区域用户群。 这些特点使 PARADEX 在 DeFi 衍生品赛道中具备差异化竞争力，尤其是在 Layer 2 生态日益成熟的背景下。 PARADEX 的未来计划包括以下几个方向： 2025 年 7 月空投与代币上线：官方已确认的空投计划将是项目的重要里程碑，预计届时会推出原生代币并在主流 DEX（如 Uniswap）或 CEX 上线交易。 产品功能扩展：当前可能专注于永续合约，未来可能新增期权、杠杆代币或其他创新衍生品，丰富交易选择。 生态整合：深化与 Starknet 生态的合作，例如集成更多 DeFi 协议（如借贷、稳定币），提升资金效率和用户黏性。 全球市场推广：鉴于其国际化定位，PARADEX 可能加大对欧美和亚洲市场的营销，吸引机构用户和高净值交易者。 技术优化与治理去中心化：随着用户增长，逐步开放社区治理，推动平台向完全去中心化方向演进。 长期来看，PARADEX 有潜力成为 Starknet 生态中的旗舰项目之一，尤其是在衍生品交易需求持续增长的背景下。不过，其成功与否还需看团队执行力、市场竞争（如 dYdX、GMX）以及监管环境的变化。 PARADEX 凭借 Paradigm 的强大背景、Starknet 的技术优势以及明确的空投计划，展现出成为去中心化衍生品交易领域新星的潜力。 其经济模型预计以代币激励为核心，融资由顶级 VC 支持，项目特点突出 Layer 2 性能和用户友好性，未来计划则聚焦空投上线和生态扩展。对于关注 DeFi 和“撸毛”的用户来说，PARADEX 是一个值得参与的早期项目！！ 介绍到这里，结束了？不，跟着老查继续往下看，怎么获得xp？怎么操作怎么玩？ 🌟想要拿到好成绩？必须先 理解项目的 XP 分配机制： PARADEX 在第二季（2025 年 1 月 3 日至 7 月 31 日）每周分配 400 万 XP，截至第十二周（3 月 21 日至 27 日），XP 分配给了 8558 个钱包。 官方已调整为动态分配模型，不公开具体权重，以防止系统被操控。主要的 XP 获取类别包括： 1⃣️交易活动：交易量、做市（Maker）和持仓（Open Interest，OI）。 2⃣️社区参与：推荐朋友、使用新功能、在 Discord 活跃等。 3⃣️特殊活动：如参与永续期权 Beta 测试（7500 XP）、VIP 联盟（22 万 XP）、⚠️⚠️给我们Kaito AI 用户（3000 XP）。 策略的第一步是了解这些类别，并根据自己的资源和能力选择重点参与的方向。 核心策略：高效交易 1⃣️交易是获取 XP 的主要途径，以下是优化交易的建议： 关注新上市和低流动性市场：根据官方公告（如 3 月 28 日的 X 帖子），新上市市场（如 $TURBO、$CAT、$XLM 等）和低流动性市场的交易在费用、做市和持仓类别中享有更高的权重。优先选择这些市场进行交易。 2⃣️建议使用限价单开仓和设置止盈止损（TP/SL），以控制风险并提高做市分数。使用限价单（Limit Order）：避免市场单（Market Order）直接买入，因为高滑点可能导致亏损。 3⃣️参与新市场首发活动 多元化参与：社区与特殊任务 除了交易，还可以通过非交易方式增加 XP： 推荐计划：邀请朋友加入并交易，可以获得额外的 XP 奖励。推荐量达到一定标准（如 30 天 5000 万美元交易量）还能解锁更多权益。可以 用老查的链接哈哈：https://t.co/JdnENPpmJs Discord 活跃度：在 PARADEX 的 Discord 社区分享交易策略、研究或 alpha，可能会被识别为社区贡献，获得额外 XP。 测试新功能：参与永续期权（Perpetual Options）Beta 测试等活动，获取固定奖励（如 7500 XP）。 绑定社交账号：连接 X 和 Discord 账户可提高“合法性分数”，可能间接影响 XP 分配。 风险管理与成本优化 低杠杆交易：高杠杆虽能放大交易量，但也增加爆仓风险。建议使用 1-5 倍杠杆，确保账户安全。 关注费用：PARADEX 的做市费率为 -0.005%（返利），吃单费率为 0.03%。优先做市（挂限价单）可以降低成本甚至盈利。 ）指出，单纯追求交易量可能导致高额手续费亏损。应以正常交易策略为主，XP 作为副产品。 最后来说说具体执行步骤 准备：访问https://t.co/JdnENPpmJs，连接 MetaMask 或其他兼容钱包，存入资金（建议 USDC，因其为主要交易对）。 选择市场：优先交易新上市或低流动性市场（如 $TURBO、$NEIRO），查看公告确认最新加成。 交易设置：使用限价单，开仓规模根据市场深度调整（避免大单影响价格），设置合理的 TP/SL。 跟踪进度：每周五检查 XP 分配情况，调整策略以优化排名（前 1000 名相对容易进入）。 ⌚️时间窗口：第二季还有约 4 个月（至 7 月 31 日），尽早参与以积累更多 XP。 竞争水平：当前参与者仅 8558 个，相较于其他热门项目（如 Hyperliquid）竞争较低，但随着空投临近可能增加。 这个项目从头到尾的说了一遍以及撸xp的重要点，查麻们自己看着玩吧我个人打算好好的盯着这个项目干一波，估计不会有 @dYdX 那么大的肉，但是有可能会比 @aevoxyz 好点。现在不是很卷，先干先得！欢迎一起干加入到老查到车队：https://t.co/JdnENPpmJs Yesterday’s @KaitoAI score was inexplicably high ? Now I really can’t figure out the calculation method, but it’s pretty surprising to see it rise like this. 1000 points are coming soon!Why are there still so many yappers building ? Well, there’s still meat to eat, I suppose. The number of voting projects up there keeps growing—not only does it indirectly promote the projects, but through my own writing and research, I’ve gained a deeper understanding of many projects. Plus, a lot of good projects have been giving decent airdrop rewards to quality yappers. Recently, for @Pumpbtcxyz $PUMP, remember to check the airdrop!! Query link: https://airdrop.pumpbtc.xyzAs a seasoned DeFi player, I’ve got a strong sensitivity to DEX and decentralized contract products. Back in the early days, I stayed up all night grinding @dYdX (arguably the biggest airdrop ever across the web), and later kept at it with @GMX_IO @OfficialApeXdex @perpprotocol and @SynFuturesDefi Why do I think these are solid? Because DEXs with their own revenue-generating ability are worth playing long-term. Today on @KaitoAI, I saw the PARADEX project listed for a voting collaboration. It’s also a decentralized derivatives trading platform, so I took some time to dive deep into the project (It’s a long write-up—stick around till the end for ways to earn XP, the longest piece yet!!) PARADEX @tradeparadex PARADEX is a decentralized derivatives trading platform built on Starknet, incubated by Paradigm, a top-tier venture capital firm in the crypto space. Paradigm was founded in 2018 by Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam and former Sequoia Capital partner Matt Huang, focusing on supporting cutting-edge blockchain and crypto projects. Paradigm doesn’t just provide funding—it likely offers strategic guidance and technical resources to PARADEX, especially in integrating Starknet’s Layer 2 technology. This background gives PARADEX an inherent edge in technical credibility and industry connections. Tokenomics As a decentralized derivatives trading platform, PARADEX’s economic model is expected to revolve around its native token (the specific token name hasn’t been disclosed yet, possibly revealed in a future airdrop), blending DeFi and derivatives trading characteristics. Fee Sharing: Users pay fees for trading derivatives (like perpetual contracts, options, etc.) on the platform, with a portion potentially used to buy back tokens or reward liquidity providers. Token Incentives Worth Grinding): Early users and liquidity are attracted through airdrops or staking rewards, similar to the “mining” model of many DeFi projects. The team has confirmed an airdrop around July 2025 suggesting tokens will soon be used to incentivize participation. Governance: Token holders may get voting rights on platform parameters (e.g., fees, product listings), enhancing community-driven features. Layer 2 Cost Advantage: Leveraging Starknet’s low transaction costs and high throughput, PARADEX’s model likely emphasizes a low-fee competitive edge to attract more traders and capital. Funding PARADEX’s financing is primarily led by Paradigm, providing it with robust financial backing. Paradigm manages assets worth billions and is known for backing high-potential blockchain projects. While the exact funding amount isn’t disclosed, referencing Paradigm’s investments in other projects (e.g., tens of millions for StarkWare, Starknet’s developer), PARADEX likely secured millions to tens of millions in seed or early-stage funding. Additionally, support from the Starknet ecosystem might bring further resource integration, like ecosystem funds or partner co-investments. PARADEX’s funding model suggests it doesn’t rely on large-scale public sales (like ICOs) but takes an elite route, backed by top VCs. This reduces early financial pressure, allowing the team to focus on product development and tech optimization. Project Features PARADEX’s core features can be summarized from its technical architecture and market positioning: Starknet Layer 2 Tech: Using Starknet’s ZK-Rollup tech, PARADEX offers high throughput, low latency, and cheap Gas fees, solving Ethereum mainnet’s high-cost issues. Decentralized Derivatives Trading: Focused on perpetual contracts, it competes with centralized exchanges (like Binance) while maintaining DeFi’s self-custody advantage. High Performance & Scalability: Starknet’s tech enables complex trading logic, suitable for pro traders and institutions. User-Friendly Interaction: Feedback on X suggests PARADEX is simple to use with a low entry barrier (fewer than 10k wallets), attracting early “airdrop hunters.” No Chinese Background: Noted by the community, this might mean it targets a more international market rather than a specific region. These features give PARADEX a differentiated edge in the DeFi derivatives race, especially as Layer 2 ecosystems mature. Future Plans PARADEX’s future plans include: July 2025 Airdrop & Token Launch: The confirmed airdrop will be a key milestone, with the native token expected to launch and trade on major DEXs (like Uniswap) or CEXs. Product Expansion: Currently focused on perpetuals, it may add options, leveraged tokens, or other innovative derivatives to diversify offerings. Ecosystem Integration: Deeper collaboration with Starknet, integrating more DeFi protocols (e.g., lending, stablecoins) to boost capital efficiency and user retention. Global Marketing: With its international focus, PARADEX might ramp up efforts in Europe, America, and Asia to attract institutional and high-net-worth traders. Tech Optimization & Decentralized Governance: As the user base grows, it’ll gradually open community governance, pushing toward full decentralization. Long-term, PARADEX has the potential to become a flagship project in the Starknet ecosystem, especially as demand for derivatives trading rises. Its success hinges on team execution, competition (e.g., dYdX, GMX), and regulatory shifts. PARADEX, with Paradigm’s strong backing, Starknet’s tech edge, and a clear airdrop plan, shows

@blockmandev· 5 months ago🚨 StarkWare bolsters Bitcoin strategy with new strategic reserve and L2 integration. StarkWare is shaking up the crypto scene by establishing its very own Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. This visionary move means that they are planning to stash a growing part of their treasury stash in $BTC. Why, you ask? It’s all part of their grand scheme to integrate the king of crypto into the Starknet Layer 2 network. While they haven’t spilled the beans on exactly how much Bitcoin they’re holding, CEO Eli Ben-Sasson believes that blockchain companies will eventually follow suit and adopt similar strategies. With an $8 billion valuation backing them up, StarkWare is diving deeper into Bitcoin research and development as part of the plan. Joining forces with other crypto companies that see $BTC as a treasury asset, StarkWare is also following some big footsteps. Don’t forget about that recent executive order from President Trump aimed at establishing a US Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. In an exciting twist, StarkWare is integrating Xverse, a cool Bitcoin wallet, into Starknet. This allows users to leverage their Bitcoin assets right within the Layer 2 network—now that's revolutionary. They're also launching BTCFi Season, welcoming Bitcoin investors into the DeFi wonderland, full of lending and yield farming opportunities. But wait, there’s more! The Braavos wallet is now supporting Lightning Network payments, perfect for those speedy and cost-effective $BTC transactions. StarkWare is gearing up to make Starknet a pivotal execution layer for Bitcoin, tackling the challenges of limited speed and high fees that have held back its true potential. In another bold initiative, StarkWare is pushing for OP_CAT, a proposed soft fork that could streamline trustless Bitcoin-to-Starknet bridges. The idea of advanced scripting and programmable transactions is tantalizing yet requires careful community dialogue due to security concerns. As they explore other bridging mechanisms, including a federated multisig system and a BitVM-based solution to eliminate trust issues, StarkWare is on a mission to make Bitcoin more than just a digital gold bar, unlocking an entire ecosystem of financial applications. With exciting Bitcoin integrations, partnerships, and incentives on the horizon, StarkWare is ready to position Starknet as the bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum, fostering greater liquidity and user engagement across both blockchain powerhouses. #memecoin #crypto #solana #Ethereum #ai #bitcoin #cryptocurrency ⚠️ Disclaimer: This analysis is for informational purposes only and should not be considered financial or investment advice.
