Starknet is an Ethereum layer-2 network built by StarkWare that uses STARK zero-knowledge proofs to scale transactions; its token is STRK.
Crypto's week has U.S. CPI due Oct 14 at a forecast 3.6% and PPI on Oct 15 at 5.3%, with $116.5 million of token unlocks. The 1.7-point gap between them is down from 2.0 on the prior readings, ahead of a Fed meeting where rates are expected to hold.
Reality
Starknet says it is actively considering leaving Ethereum to become its own L1, with 2027 as its target for full quantum resistance. STRK rose about 20% to $0.073, Decrypt reported, so holders are already paying for an exit that is still only under discussion.

Starknet's STRK token gained about 322% in 30 days to October 12 on a proposal to leave Ethereum, while its DeFi total value locked rose 5% to 7%. The market cap now sits at several times that locked value.
Reality
Starknet's Stwo prover cut its peak memory from 13.9 GiB to 2.1 GiB, enough for a smartphone to prove Starknet transactions. Users gain privacy because their data can stay on the handset, while proving whole blocks still scales with workload size.
Reality
Bitcoin climbed back to about $82,500 after Trump said the U.S. would not attack Iran before the Nov. 3 midterms, still about 4% down on the week. Futures open interest barely moved on the way up, so traders bought the bounce without taking on fresh leverage.
Reality
The construction runs inside today's Script limits, so no soft fork was needed. The cost of quantum defence moves instead onto the individual holder, at $75 to $150 per transaction.

Maxime Desalle gave back a Zcash grant and published the case against the Dev Fund. Paradigm's Matt Huang defended it, and the only dated decisions in the record belong to the November 5 NU7 upgrade.

The record trade carried $45,220 of premium, about 0.29% of notional, and Paradex says that beat Deribit on cost. The figure is the price of the options, so it moves with strike and expiry.

Four security firms classified the $3.5 million Nostra Finance loss as oracle price manipulation. The remedies the write-up lists are listing-policy parameters: a borrow cap below free float, an isolation flag, a deviation bound.
