Technology & Security - Starknet leverages STARK proofs, considered more secure than SNARK proofs due to the absence of a trusted setup [2] - Cairo language facilitates scaling with STARKs and enables more efficient/performant apps compared to other L2s, due to not being tied to the EVM [3] - A pure STARK-based stack is more efficient than a ZK-fied optimistic stack [4] Ecosystem & Adoption - Starknet's ecosystem of dApps and culture is growing, with new dApps launching [1] - Starknet attracts Tier A and S developers who create performance-focused dApps [6] - Consumer apps and increased TVL are a priority for the Starknet ecosystem [8] Competition & Market Positioning - Optimistic rollups currently perform better due to faster time to market, but ZK rollups, especially Starknet, excel in onchain compute [4] - EVM-based rollups have an adoption advantage due to Solidity and its tooling, while Cairo has a learning curve [5] Future Outlook - The upcoming BTCfi launch is expected to introduce new DeFi projects and TVL to the Starknet ecosystem [9] - Starknet is working towards full decentralization, with 3 sequencers currently running [9] - Starkware's R&D aims to make Starknet a Bitcoin L2 [9]
