Both Zcash and Starknet are ahead of their time, and both suffered in the markets from this.
When we launched @Zcash, no one used it with its superior privacy, and few understood how it works or why it's needed. When we launched @Starknet, few unde...
StarkNet (STRK)
Large Price Change: +31.67% in 7 days.
-
The recent increase in StarkNet price is mainly driven by several key factors within the last six months:
- The Shinobi upgrade introduced privacy-native proof verification and new products like strkBTC, boosting momentum and institutional interest.
- Binance's integration of USDC on StarkNet improved liquidity and ease of stablecoin transfers, enhancing network utility.
- Growing optimism around Layer 2 adoption for Ethereum scalability challenges.
- Strong trading volumes and market participation, with notable surges of 20-24% in late April 2026.
- Strategic developments deepening StarkNet's connection to Bitcoin, including native BTC liquidity bridges.
- Positive technical momentum supported by increased derivatives activity and breaking above key moving averages.
These combined developments have increased demand and trading activity, contributing to the recent price surge.

The way crypto works is that 1 coin becomes the super leader ( $ZEC) and then anything related to that sector starts to also move. So we're now seeing anything related to privacy have strong days, such as $NIL $STRK $AZTEC and many others. These go a...

Starknet's migration to being fully quantum-resistant will be very easy for users.
The key element that will make it easy is native Account Abstraction. Native AA is one of the most important design choices we've made. An unpopular choice, but an exc...

Starknet is that chain that already has in production stuff that other chains tweet about adopting or building in the future.
It really is Future Proof, and like all things that live in the future, it'll take time for most of you to see this.
