1/ Zcash has fixed the need for private money, and so does Starknet for programmable privacy.
In just a couple of months, Starknet built the most complete privacy ecosystem in crypto.
Swaps, yield, staking, borrowing, options, payroll, and more, all with a private mode 🧵

when a customer disputes a card payment, Stripe charges the merchant $15. even if the merchant wins
AI agents pay in tiny amounts, like a tenth of a cent per request. one dispute costs as much as 15,000 of those payments
so with agents you can't fix mistakes afterwards. the payment has to be right before it's sent
13/ Private points trading on @arcxtrade.
Trade the most in-demand points without publicly linking your activity to your main wallet.
Even points markets can be private on Starknet.

14/ Programmable privacy is real, and it's happening on Starknet.
An entire financial ecosystem now offers privacy across the applications people already use.

DROPS 47: @Starknet: Agents Will Adopt Blockchain Before Banks Do
@EliBenSasson, co-founder of @Zcash and Starknet, explains why he believes crypto will become the way people and AI agents handle money, and why most people haven't realized the world's financial infrastructure is being rebuilt.
He also covers what Bitcoin is missing, from privacy to its resistance to change, how quantum computers and superintelligent AI could threaten it, and the technology he's building to fix it.

Knowing your Polymarket activity is public is one thing.
Seeing exactly what it reveals is another.
Check how exposed you really are on checker.offmarket.cx
nitter.gq/OffMarketcx/status/211…
Literally all of your Polymarket bets are public.
What you traded. How much. When. Your P&L. Your connected accounts.
Today, we’re launching the OffMarket Checker. See what your public account reveals:

Block-sized proofs are now live on Starknet Mainnet.
Applications can now prove up to 1.1B L2 gas of computation in a single transaction.
The unlock: developers can run logic that exceeds regular transaction limits offchain, then verify it on Starknet, paying for the proof rather than the full execution.
Starknet v0.14.4 is now live on Mainnet.
The upgrade introduces the infrastructure for block-sized proofs, enabling single proven transactions of up to 1.1B L2 gas once activated.
A new ceiling for what can be built on Starknet.
