Des copains me disaient avoir un peu de mal à comprendre ce qu'est le "web3"; j'ai essayé d'expliquer en quelques lignes ce que c'est. A dérouler 🧶 (10)
D'abord la base: "web3" c'est un terme marketing pour dire "crypto/blockchain".
ELI5: The data availability problem.
Ever heard "Zk rollups", "Validiums", "Volition", "DAC", "Data availability layer" but not sure what they are?
~15 tweets and you'll know 🧶
"Hey, how do I get started building on StarkNet?"
I often get asked this question, so here is a thread full of links.
From total noob to on chain wizard 👇
Do you speak
#Solidity
?
Are you curious about
#StarkNet
?
Do you want to learn how to read Cairo smart contracts?
I got you fam. No need to install anything; just read the contracts, use StarkNet, collect points.
Do you want to start understanding / writing Smart contracts on Ethereum?
Here is a thread with a bunch of Solidity tutorials I wrote for my students at
@ESILVparis
#1
: Solidity 101. No coding required; just read, interact and collect points
Yesterday
@starknet
was awarded the "Best tech project" award at
@TheBigWhale_
annual ceremony 🍾
@Sorare
got "Best entertainment project",
@Carbonable_io
got "Best project for good"
3 out of 7 awards. Did you get it yet?
Starks are eating the world 🐺
First week working
@starkware
! So here is me trying to ELI5 what we do.
ZK rollups are a scaling solution for Ethereum. This means they allow you to do more, with less.
Getting ready for
#Devconnect
in
#Amsterdam
next week.
I won’t wear the all,so I can hand out a few - if you deploy a contract to StarkNet,you’ll get a pair!
@Cryptoieo
Hello hello, the evaluation process for ECMP is coming to an end indeed.
Please note that there won’t be an announcement tomorrow; results will be announced later on, around the day of provisions.
We edited the original post to reflect this
Please stay
With Bitcoin or Ethereum, your assets (tokens, NFTs, identity) are irrevocably tied to a private key.
Lose it and you lose everything.
You can't share it.
You can't outsource paying gas.
Can we do better?
Account abstraction (AA) is reason
#2
people get excited about StarkNet
What if you could use the computing power of a supercomputer inside your smart contract, trustlessly?
Without game theory.
Without oracles.
Entirely with math.
Here is reason
#1
why people get excited about validity rollups
Join the StarkNet Basecamp!
Basecamp will be a 6-week training program, with 6x 2h online calls + homework.
We’ll cover Starks, Cairo, StarkNet, and Smart contracts on StarkNet.
Starting on January 4th 2023
Register here 👇
"StarkNet's team is happy" understatement if I ever saw one haha
A short thread on scalability, transaction prices, and what to expect for the futur of fees on StarkNet 👇
Exactly one year ago,the first ever Starknet gathering/meetup in Paris.
Seems like ages ago. So much happened since then!
Proud to be building with y’all 🤙
With Cairo 1.0 out, we are gearing up for a new basecamp cohort in April in which we'll cover Cairo 1, tooling, Starknet architecture & more.
If you are interested in following this 6 week webinar with ~2h every week + homework, register for free here
Ok, let's talk mid term roadmap for Starknet. Things that are scoped, are being worked on, and will ship in the not too distant future.
Volition, fee market, EIP4844 and more
1/12
Now let's talk about fractal scaling, AKA recursion, AKA "How high is the sky, dad?"
There's nothing complicated about recursion.
It's about running a program to verify a proof; and generating a proof that you did.
A proof of a proof.
About a year ago, we started Basecamp, an online training program for aspiring Starknet devs
In 6 weeks it will turn you into a Starknet expert.
- Cairo best practices and tooling
- Deep understanding of the network
- Cutting edge use cases
Next cohort in September. You in?
I've recently prepared a presentation called "Why people get excited about validity rollups". I tried to explain why people seem to want to build on StarkNet instead of how it works.
☑️ ZK Rollups
☑️ Validiums
☑️ DAC
☑️ Data availability layer
☑️ Volition
Now you know what these are.
I hoped you learned something; questions / corrections are welcome!
StarkNet: Improves throughput by 2.5x 💪💪💪
Tx backlog: Starts shrinking👌
[24h later]
Tx sent to StarkNet: Multiply by 2.5x 😳
StarkNet: Dem builders are fast 🤯
Scalability is a moving target. We'll keep shipping
This probably explains the crazy gas spikes on Ethereum last week.
« wait,which spikes? The network was fine! »
Yes,that’s the point.
This is what scaling looks like
C'est difficile de savoir exactement ou tu cela va aller.
Un peu comme internet dans les années 90: difficile de prévoir l'arrivée de Google, Chatroulette et Wikipedia.
Mais c'est ce potentiel, et cet inconnu, qui en fait un secteur intéressant
A first quick disclaimer. Don't expect any kind of reward from the following, except learning some things about StarkNet and trying out a cool new L2.
We don't have a token.
As promised, we are about to open-source the powerful STARK Prover, named Stone!
Taking a major step towards open-sourcing and decentralization!
Next week, during Starknet Summit, we will have an intro session to the prover’s code.
What a crazy 5 days 🙂
Grateful for experimenting that with you all
Every time we gather I get surprised by our collective enthousiasm,creativity and resilience
Let’s build the futur,together
Already 140 people registered for tomorrow’s meetup in London 😳
I’ll be there,with people from
@argentHQ
,
@nethermindeth
,
@SnapshotLabs
,
@StarkNetFndn
Will London challenge Paris for the title of biggest Starknet community? Let’s find out 🙂
I still can't get over the fact that Cairo being a provable, general purpose programming language, means you can code anything with it:
- A Bitcoin node (
@ZeroSync_
)
- An EVM chain (
@KakarotZkEvm
)
- A next generation chain (
#StarkNet
)
When "provable plane flight recorder"?
Storage proofs (SP). It's an unsexy name for a very, very powerful StarkNet tool.
#4
in our exploration of why people get excited about StarkNet. Let’s take a look.
SP are like CRISPR/Cas9 for blockchain devs.
The thing that keeps amazing me at
@StarkWareLtd
is their capacity to observe, adapt, pivot, and lead the industry.
Defaulting to Open Source, onboarding contributors on core infra, now this.
Another example of bold decisions, leading by example
Integrity in action
Important update:
After listening to feedback from ecosystem friends and collaborators, we are changing the lockup schedule for StarkWare’s early contributors and investors to make it more gradual.
We value this community and want to earn its trust by building great tech that
Have your L3 on top of L2
Split a proof in subproof to augment throughput
Prove you solved a puzzle without broadcasting your solution
Generate a proof on your phone for private txs
All of that,and more. Sooner than you think.
Recursive STARKs: in addition to proving the correctness of transaction execution, we also can prove (off-chain), the correct execution of a STARK verifier that verified the proof. The on-chain verifier running time is now shorter by orders of magnitude.

@OhadBarta
A super cool meetup yesterday in Lausanne, hosted by
@bsa_epfl
, organized by
@L0GYKAL
and with talks by various Starknet OGs
The raw amount of ambition, brain power and drive in those events continue to humble me 🙌
When's the next one?
Yet another fantastic EthCC week
Every year I know what to expect,and every year I am amazed by the warmth,creativity and friendliness of this community
It’s nice to be growing you all 🫡
The
#3
thing that gets people excited about StarkNet is its trustless bridging mechanism
AKA “Rely on math, not validators”.
Have you ever used a bridge?
Have you ever thought about how it works?
Starknet fam,this week we’ll have two pretty cool public calls:
- on Tuesday,
@dimahledba
will present the Madara sequencer on the community call with
@gyanlakshmi
- on Wednesday,
@EliBenSasson
will explain how STARK maths work on a public session of Basecamp,hosted by
But... rollups are different. That's their magic: they can talk to older chains, and they can talk to each other.
ETH can understand StarkNet natively without a human intermediating.
Various Starknets can talk with each other.
I guess this whole debacle is a reminder that there is nothing special about us, the humans of crypto. For all the values we profess, we’re as greedy and reckless as generations past.
What differs is the tools we’re building.
Broke: L2s as cheap clones of Ethereum,with shallow liquidity pools
Woke: L2s as extensions of Ethereum,providing extra functionalities on L1 liquidity pools
Did you know that you can mint LUSD natively on
@Starknet
through
@Nimbora_
Benefit from:
- Cheaper gas
- No minimum loan size
- & the
@Starknet
ecosystem
Join us on Friday at 3pm UTC for a Spaces to learn about how it all works 👀
So what does it mean for StarkNet to be on Mainnet?
- All the logic executed on StarkNet is secured by Ethereum
- You can transfer arbitrary messages between both chains
- You can use these messages to build bridges (more below)
A few days ago I published a tutorial on how to read Cairo and interact with smart contracts on
#StarkNet
. I am updating it and I am checking all the user balances to transfer them to a new set of smart contracts
93 unique addresses so far, pretty cool!
We’re excited to invite you to Code4rena x
@Starknet
Basecamp: an opportunity to learn everything you need to know about Cairo 🤝
With 3 hands-on sessions over the course of a week covering fundamentals, smart contracts, and testing, this is your chance to level up as a dev,
Are you in Eth Zurich next week?
I'll be there too 🙂
We're doing a meetup on Thursday 13th, you should come
(I'll also be at other stuff, will post later 🥳)
Calling all travelers to Starknet land: this is your chance to onboard the ship 🛳️
We’ll take you from curious dev to having an app on mainnet in a few weeks.
Start by registering Basecamp (link below),starting in April,to learn Cairo & Starknet and be ready for Starkhack
ETHGlobal's newest event is live: StarkHack 🚀
From Autonomous Worlds to AI,

And it’s only the beginning.
Le Web3 fait à l'échange de VALEUR ce qu'internet a fait à l'échange d'INFORMATION. Internet a permis d'aplanir les échanges d'info en passant par moins/pas d'intermédiaires, et à n'importe qui d'innover dans ce domaine
Jeudi 2 juin à Paris, retrouvons nous pour parler ZK rollups en général, et
#StarkNet
en particulier!
Le programme est encore tout à fait ouvert, DM pour venir pitcher votre projet
Et ramenez vos potes qui sont Cairo-curious ;-)
#Meetup
We recorded a lot of videos, not all of them public, these past 3 months:
- Data availability / Volition on Starknet
- Decentralization of sequencing
- Cairo 1, its design and its future
- Full nodes and sequencers
Wanna check them out?

There's no stopping STARKs! 🐺💪🔥⚔️💫
StarkEx reached 1 TRILLION $ trading volume on Ethereum L2.
STARK-based scaling has been on StarkEx Mainnet since June 2020.
Some cool apps will ship in the coming days that let you test the execution layer on StarkNet.
A token bridge will also be there, and let you transmit tokens back and forth
Today I want to show you messaging MainNet <-> StarkNet
We are bringing one of the first DAPP on

🚀 🚀
Feel free to play around with light version of
@ibetyouxyz
and share all suggestions with us. 😎
Proud to be part of
@StarkWareLtd
ecosystem! ✨
On vous attend ce soir pour notre premier vrai meetup StarkNet Paris 🙂
Au programme:
- On parlera de Zk rollups
- On présentera des apps construites sur StarkNet
- On expliquera comment commencer à construire des trucs cools
- Des T shirts
Introducing the Starknet Seed Grant Program! 🌱
The Seed Grant Program is a new initiative designed to provide teams with grants up to $25,000 in USDC in non-dilutive funding to enhance the growth of the Starknet ecosystem.
You should pay attention to this: The first potential deployment of an EVM native app, to a non EVM chain.
And non other that Uniswap.
All due to the amazing work by
@nethermindeth
on Warp, a Solidity to Cairo transpiler 👏👏👏
On Tuesday Jan 24 at 11 am EST, the UF will co-host a Twitter Space with
@StarkWareLtd
and
@nethermindeth
We will discuss the proposal to deploy v3 on StarkNet, and the novel questions raised by what would be v3’s first non-EVM deployment
On today's community call, we discussed StarkNet's new regenesis plan
If you are a StarkNet builder and you've been delaying launch because of regenesis, you should give it a listen.
Because there is no reason to wait anymore
Sur la transparence, imagine une banque ou
- Le code est open source
- La base de données est open data
- La gouvernance est "open process"
- Les APIs sont toutes documentées et accessibles par défaut
- Tes dépôts sont open access, tu y as accès quand tu veux
Starknet should see a drastic reduction in cost right after the introduction on Ethereum of EIP4844, or proto dank sharding.
Built from first principles, built to last ✌️
Starknet v0.13.1 is on integration with state update using blobs .oO on testing environment.
You know what it means for Starknet post Dencun, right ? Technical choices will suddenly become clear.
That's what happens when you build from First Principles.
#BuiltDifferent
#Limitless
Le web3 est une façon d'échanger de la valeur sans intermédiaire, ce qui a plusieurs avantages:
- Pas de limites géographique (marché adressable = le monde)
- Transparence sur le code, la data, les process
- Composabilité
Maybe let's expand a little bit on 0.12.1 and how Starknet deals with failed transactions.
Let's talk provable code, gas metering, and provably failing transactions
1/15
Second improvement in Q3 2023will be 0.12.1: The Sentry.
Check out Starknet's latest block. Can you spot the failed transactions?
No?
That's normal: there are none. Starknet currently doesn't charge you for failed transactions.
This will change in 0.12.1
Broke: Use L1 to vote on your DAO
Woke: Use L2 to vote on your L1 DAO
Bespoke: Use L2 to secures your votes, without any user having to use L2 at any point. Seamless experience.
High score is 195 with 7 discs. Come at me.
Also yeah we’re at DEVCON,happy to talk! We’ll have a booth tomorrow with t shirts. Don’t be a stranger,come say hi!
