In 2010, Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas worth about $40. Today, that same BTC is worth over $770 million. Sixteen years later, the transaction is still public, with the amount, addresses, and history permanently visible. That is Bitcoin’s superpower and its flaw: it proves everything by exposing everything. strkBTC keeps the proof and removes the exposure, letting Bitcoin move privately on Starknet while remaining verifiable. Private by default. Verifiable on demand.

Whether you’re building a product, scaling a business, designing infrastructure, or exploring new use cases - we’re here to help bold ideas succeed on Starknet. We believe meaningful progress comes from unconventional minds - people who challenge assumptions, build with purpose, and care deeply about impact. If that sounds like you, we’d love to connect.

Shielding strkBTC takes one click. After bridging your BTC via https://strkbtc.io/, GardenFi, or atomiq labs, your strkBTC will appear in your Ready X or Xverse wallet. From there, shielding happens directly inside your wallet. Starknet enables native privacy, so you do not need a separate app, an extra tool, or a new flow to activate it. Everything is accessed through your wallet. How to Activate Shielding: 1. Select strkBTC 2. Click the Shield icon 3. Your balance moves into the private pool 4. Click Unshield whenever you want to go public again Starknet is where Bitcoin becomes private and productive. Dive into the full step-by-step guide here: https://lnkd.in/ejfn38xJ

Starknet Foundation reposted this
Benjamin Sturisky from Starknet Foundation on what AI agents actually need from the chain underneath them: → Throughput: agents need block space at scale (Starknet: no longer the blocker) → Network-level configurations: account abstraction for spending limits, gas limits, transaction logic → Privacy: private transfers for any asset, including stablecoin payments for agents → Decentralization: agents won't operate long-term on networks where they can be rug-pulled

In 2010, Gavin Andresen built the original Bitcoin Faucet. It gave away 5 BTC at a time, distributing 19.7k BTC in total, helping bootstrap Bitcoin’s early holders. We’re borrowing the same idea for strkBTC. The Faucet will open in 48 hours. Register: https://lnkd.in/em4-CyyB
