On December 1st, according to L2BEAT data, the TVL of Ethereum Layer2 scaling solution Starknet has rebounded to $170 million, with a 7-day increase of 11.55%.

On December 1st, The Block reported that the Starknet Foundation confirmed a screenshot displaying the draft of the airdrop plan and stated that the airdrop snapshot has been taken.

Starknet Discord administrators responded to today's rumors about the authenticity of the airdrop eligibility query website, calling it a scam. Users are advised to be aware of potential risks.

The Starknet ecosystem AMM Ekubo protocol has decided not to proceed with the proposal to invest in Ekubo through Uniswap DAO, and will not vote on the proposal on-chain. The reason is that implementing the proposal as required would impose a heavy burden on Ekubo and would divert attention from the development of the Ekubo protocol. The relevant community proposal has been approved by the Uniswap community.

The 24-hour cost of Ethereum's layer 2 scaling solution, Starknet, is $381,000.

Ethereum's layer 2 scaling solution Starknet stated in a post on X that there are accounts on Discord, Twitter, Telegram, and DM claiming that Starknet provides token issuance and airdrops. Any accounts making such claims are fake, and if found, please immediately block and report the account.

Starknet Chinese has posted on X platform, stating that Starknet.js V5.24.3 version supports RPC V0.5.1 and now supports using RPC as a default provider instead of a sorter.

According to official sources, the Pragma oracle service has been launched on the Starknet mainnet. As part of Starknet's future plans, the network intends to add STRK as a new fee token outside of ETH, and this mechanism requires an oracle to provide real-time STRK <> ETH price feeds. In the short term, Starknet plans to use the semi-decentralized Pragma oracle as a temporary solution, while a long-term decentralized solution will need to be achieved through future governance.

Starknet posted on X platform that there are many fraudulent accounts on X platform, Discord, and Telegram claiming to issue tokens and conduct airdrops. Users need to be alert to the risks and report these fraudulent accounts.

On November 16th, zkLink, a multi-chain transaction infrastructure based on zero-knowledge proof, launched the Layer3 network Nexus, which aims to connect various general zero-knowledge (ZK) Ethereum Rollup solutions, including zkSync, Starknet, and Polygon zkEVM. Nexus will only choose one of the Layer2 networks to perform the zk-SNARK verification process, which is lower in cost compared to directly performing verification on the Ethereum mainnet. This allows tokens to be easily transferred between one zkLink Rollup and another, and DeFi applications (including DEX and NFT markets) will be able to minimize liquidity fragmentation when sending transactions between different blockchains.

Starknet has announced on the X platform that after Goerli is discontinued, it will migrate its test network to Sepolia. The Goerli test network will be discontinued at the end of 2023, and Starknet encourages developers to migrate to the Sepolia test network as soon as possible. Starknet will begin migrating to the Sepolia test network on November 15, 2023. At that time, full nodes, API services, SDKs, and other Starknet development tools will also begin to migrate to Sepolia. The Sepolia test network will support all Cairo V0, V2.0.0, and higher versions.

Data on daily active addresses compiled by Layer2Gather shows that Starknet has surpassed Arbitrum in the past seven days and become the second highest Layer2 blockchain in terms of daily active addresses.

Dune data shows that the total value locked (TVL) of Starknet's bridging has reached 798,996 ETH, with a total of 1,176,461 users on the bridging platform. In addition, the current TVL of Arbitrum bridging is 3,044,848 ETH, Optimism is 639,451 ETH, zkSync is 2,284,790 ETH, and Base is 237,376 ETH.

On November 12th, the Starknet community forum released information on the next versions (V0.12.3, V0.13.0) and the migration of the Sepolia testnet. This includes: 1. V0.12.3 will bring a very important change, which is the deprecation of the feeder gateway. Builders should migrate to API services or run a full node independently. V0.12.3 also introduces some changes to the _validate_ of account contracts; 2. V0.13.0 will include a new transaction type, V3. This transaction type lays the foundation for future features on the roadmap, including paying transaction fees with STRK other than ETH, fee markets, paymasters, and nonce generalization. Additionally, V0.13.0 will come with a new Cairo version, V2.4.0, which introduces string literals and basic string operations. 3. The following are the planned upgrade dates for the network: - November 19, 2023: V0.12.3 Goerli testnet; - December 11, 2023: V0.12.3 mainnet. Please note that this is one week earlier than the previously communicated date; - December 5, 2023: V0.13.0 Goerli testnet. If necessary, this date may be postponed by one week to December 13; - January 22, 2024: V0.13.0 mainnet, awaiting governance vote. 4. In addition to version updates, after Goerli is deprecated, Starknet will migrate the testnet to Sepolia. The Goerli testnet will be supported until the end of 2023, and developers are encouraged to migrate to Sepolia as much as possible. Starknet will begin migrating to the Sepolia testnet on November 15, 2023. At that time, full nodes, API services, SDKs, and other Starknet development tools will also begin migrating to Sepolia.

The Starknet development team Nethermind Starknet announced the launch of Juno v0.7.4 on the X platform. This version brings improved scalability, allowing Juno nodes to connect to the main node's database via gRPC, allowing them to serve RPC requests without synchronization.

Starknet Foundation announced the establishment of a DeFi committee on social media. The committee is chaired by six members and its main purpose is to guide and develop the decentralized financial ecosystem on Starknet.

Nethermind Starknet announced on X platform that Juno v0.7.3 has been launched, supporting the upcoming Starknet v0.12.3. This update also enhances RPC performance through a new global class cache, resulting in higher request processing capacity and optimized resource usage. Juno v0.7.3 also updated blockifier, including wallet integration fixes.

Starknet Chinese posted on X platform that the LambdaClass team has achieved full compatibility between the Stone and Platinum provers in STARK. The Lambdaworks Stark Platinum Prover is currently adding CairoVM constraints, built-in programs, and layouts, and supports using Lambda Stark Platinum to generate proofs and using Stone for verification. Earlier on November 1, LambdaClass founder Federico Carrone announced that he would donate over 20,000 TIA tokens received from airdrops to the Protocol Guild, an organization of Ethereum core protocol contributors.

According to L2BEAT data reported by Golden Finance, Starknet's TVL is now $132 million, with a 7-day decline of 15.16%.

According to L2BEAT data, the TVL of Ethereum Layer2 scaling solution Starknet has dropped to $129 million, a decrease of 20.06% in 7 days.
