Bitcoin Staking on Starknet, Community Vote opens in 3 days 🗳️ A major proposal is on the table: SNIP-31 introduces a new BTC staking mechanism on Starknet. If passed, it will allow BTC holders to lock their tokenized BTC (WBTC, LBTC, tBTC, SolvBTC) directly on Starknet and earn STRK rewards, without affecting the current STRK APR. This upgrade includes: - A BTC staking weight (alpha) set at 0.25, giving BTC holders up to 25% influence in consensus power. - A curated list of BTC wrappers eligible for staking, governed through community votes and Monetary Committee approvals. - A clear separation of STRK and BTC reward dynamics. This is a critical moment for the network: it defines how Bitcoin integrates into Starknet’s staking and governance framework. As with previous SNIPs, your vote matters. To participate, make sure to: - Wrap your STRK into vSTRK and delegate or self-delegate your voting power on the Governance Hub (this allows you to keep your STRK liquid) - Or stake your STRK directly (21-day unlock applies if you want to unstake). If you don’t complete one of these before the vote opens, you won’t be able to vote. More details on SNIP-31 below 👇

GTE has grown up and now is departing from the Mega Mafia. The results are clear: - GTE has raised over $25m from tier-1 investors like Paradigm and market makers like IMC, Wintermute, and Auros. - GTE has built a cracked team with members coming from institutions like Citadel, Nasdaq, Google, Jump, AWS, Palantir, Meta and more. - GTE has delivered a best in-class product and has reached over 1 million users in the past 3-4 months on testnet. We appreciate MegaETH’s help in getting us from zero to one. Now it’s time to go from one to one hundred. Our vision remains the same: price discovery of the world’s capital markets happening entirely on the Global Token Exchange. We’re just getting started. Next step: mainnet. LFGTE.
