Ztarknet


Project Links


Description

Ztarknet is a Starknet-style Layer 2 that settles to Zcash L1 using Circle STARK proofs verified through a Transparent Zcash Extension (TZE). The sequencer runs Madara and executes Cairo programs, with state transitions proved by Stwo and anchored to Zcash consensus via a single built-in TZE verifier rule. This design enables general-purpose smart contracts and confidential DeFi to inherit Zcash's base-layer privacy without a multisig bridge.

STRK20


Description

STRK20 is a privacy framework that brings shielded balances and private transfers to ERC-20 assets on Starknet. It operates at the protocol level and is accessed from the user's wallet, letting holders shield a balance, transact privately, and unshield in one action. The framework shares a viewing key with an independent auditor to enable scoped, compliant disclosure when legally required.

StrkBTC Bridge


Project Links


Description

strkbtc.io is a bridge that moves native BTC into Starknet, minting strkBTC backed one-to-one by Bitcoin locked on the Bitcoin network. Built by StarkWare and powered by Atomiq, it lets Bitcoin holders bring BTC onto Starknet to access DeFi and optional privacy. The bridge runs a federated model operated by the strkBTC Federation, with a roadmap toward a trust-minimized architecture.
