@DavidFBailey @SteveAlpher @cz_binance @OKnightCrypto 🔥Most Influential: @jessepollakBase, the layer-2 network incubated by Coinbase, exploded in popularity this year.@cryptauxmargaux reports:https://t.co/gUme05RSj6 ...

Overview of StarkWare and StarkNet - StarkWare develops STARKs (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge) cryptographic proof technology [1] - StarkNet is a permissionless layer-2 network on Ethereum, scaling Ethereum using STARK proofs [2] - StarkWare builds and maintains core tech including STARK proofs, StarkEx, StarkNet, and Cairo [3] StarkNet Features and Metrics - StarkNet is a Validity-Rollup (ZK-Rollup) on Ethereum, processing transactions off-chain and submitting proofs to Ethereum [2] - Network metrics include approximately 7,000 daily active accounts, around 206 million total transactions, and about $411 million total value locked (TVL) as of mid-2025 [3] - SN Stack allows others to build appchains using the same tech stack as StarkNet [3] Benefits and Use Cases - Lower transaction costs compared to Ethereum mainnet, making smaller, frequent interactions feasible [4] - Native account abstraction provides flexible, programmable accounts [5] - Stronger security through off-chain proofs and on-chain verification [6] - Scalability for apps and services, accommodating more users and transactions without cost explosion [6]
