Starknet bullish news 🚀
• Starknet launched strkBTC → aiming to bring Bitcoin liquidity into the ecosystem
• Over 1B STRK + 1790 BTC already staked
• Team is now focused on real adoption & BTCFi growth
• ZK-rollup narrative is getting stronger again in crypto markets
If adoption increases after unlock pressure slows down, STRK could recover strongly long term.
1. Let's start with the conclusion
If there is extreme warfare, regime collapse, or total occupation in Israel,
Starknet would be directly semi-paralyzed, essentially rendered useless, more fragile than any other project
The reasons are very realistic
1. All core R&D, top-level decision-making, and sequencer operation main force of StarkWare are in Israel
It's not a branch office, but the main headquarters
2. It is not fully decentralized yet, with critical network scheduling, prover clusters, and emergency operations all relying on the local team
3. Academic resources, core cryptography talent, and corporate entities are all tied to Israel
Once warfare disrupts the internet, personnel evacuate, or institutions halt operations:
• The chain is likely to frequently crash, stop blocks, and transactions get stuck
• Version updates cease, and the ecosystem is left unmaintained
• Overseas communities cannot handle this complex Cairo + STARK system
• The project will directly enter a deadlock state
