Cairo is a purpose built language for zero-knowledge proofs. Starknet uses Cairo to achieve low fees, high transaction per second, feature-rich wallets with multi-call, session keys, paymaster, and account abstraction. Learn to build on Starknet with Cairo. Basecamp 11 is a free, four-week programming boot camp onboarding developers into the Starknet ecosystem. 🗓️ The next cohort starts on Wednesday 27th. https://lnkd.in/gNJ6wZnf

The L2 community is competitive and diverse but if there’s something most people on the Ethereum ecosystem seem to agree on is that Starknet has the best tech. We broke the speed record with 857 TPS on mainnet, we have the lowest fees with subcent transactions and feature rich wallets with multicall, session keys and paymaster. The catch? You have to learn a new tech stack and as a beginner it’s not easy to know where to start. This is why the Starknet Foundation has a course called Basecamp whose goal is to onboard developers into the Starknet ecosystem with a well thought out curriculum that takes you from beginner to expert in just a few weeks. The next cohort is starting on November 27th and will consist of four weekly sessions of two hours each. You’ll learn what makes Starknet special, set up a professional dev environment and build a full stack Starknet app from scratch. Are you ready to learn the best tech? Register to Basecamp using the link below.

Ethereum's Pectra and Verge upgrades are on the horizon. Cryptonews spoke with our very own Executive Director, James Strudwick, to understand what effect they will have on fees, scalability, and usability, and to get his take on the place and importance of L2s for the future of Ethereum. https://lnkd.in/gnF2Np8Z

Why should developers exploring Ethereum scalability pay attention to Cairo - a programming language designed specifically for ZK-rollup-powered applications? In this HackerNoon article, James Strudwick lays out why Cairo stands out: - Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs): Optimizing scalability and transaction costs. - Purpose-built for Web3: Designed for Ethereum scaling solutions. - Developer-friendly: Opens the door to next-gen dApps. If you’re a Web3 developer, tech enthusiast, or blockchain leader, interested in building scalable, cost-efficient and lasting decentralized applications, this is a must read. https://lnkd.in/e7iSpmPh #ethereum #scaling #blockchain #web3 #applications
