To sum it up Account Abstraction or Smart Accounts within Starknet provide a secure financial experience.

By having ownership and control over your assets, you can make digital transactions safer, more convenient, and personalized without relying on banking infrastructure.

Smart Accounts: Personalized Crypto Banking without Intermediaries

Ethereum is like a giant library filled with endless tables of information.

@0xmarcello and his frens open the door to this library and introduce us to the idea of unifying space and time in crypto land.

//A simple Threadoor//

In our library, the information is scattered across different rooms.

Marcello and his team's mission is to create a system where you can easily find any book without worrying about which room it's in.

This is the concept of @HerodotusDev

What if you could verify that a specific piece of information is correct and hasn't been tampered with?

Storage proofs act like a notary stamp on a document, ensuring its not faked.

It's a key to accessing data from any point in time from any blockchain or L2 you like.

Marcello announced Herodotus Turbo, a tool that's like a new software making it easier to write and manage contracts on the chain.

It's designed to handle complex tasks behind the scenes, letting devs focus on creativity to ship awesome stuff or just shitpost all day.

The good Ser introduces the idea of emulating memory segments within a dedicated contract.

Think of virtual storage spaces within the blockchain, organized and managed efficiently, then cleared for the next task.

But all of this comes with costs.

Verifying information and managing the system is like paying for security checks and building maintenance.

It's essential for a secure, sustainable and efficient system.

How do we ensure fairness?

By introducing an auction design where different people can take on the role of verifying information.

It's a way to make sure that no single person or centralized entity controls the system.

And what about those who do the heavy lifting and buidl within the system?

Marxello announces a reward program, redistributing fees to devs. Those who work, get directly paid.

From tables and databases to new tools like Herodotus Turbo, Marcello's talk is a jump into making the fragmented and complex world of different L1s and L2s more approachable.

It's about simplifying the tricky stuff and encouraging innovation.

UX for crypto devs!

Unifying Space and Time in Ethereum: Introducing Herodotus

Play-to-earn gaming has seen both success and failure.

Previous models have faced issues like inflationary tokens, corruption, and instability, leading to comparisons with Ponzus.

Ser @realricosly explores these challenges and introduces a novel solution.

smoll thread

The collapse of play-to-earn models in 2021 serves as a cautionary tale. 💥

Strategies like breeding Axies for rewards contributed to inflation, leading to the system's downfall.

Nico dives into these flaws and presents CafeCosmos's climate system as a fix.

The climate system in CafeCosmos is a nice approach that ties in-game weather patterns to real-world market behaviors.

Different weather patterns occur based on time-weighted average prices, creating a dynamic gaming experience. 🌦️

Players can interact with the weather, collecting rain to water plants or give to cows.

The weather is determined by the time-weighted average price of Ethereum (ETH), linking the game's mechanics to real-world financial metrics.

With data from @HerodotusDev, a service that provides trustless historical blockchain data, we get the time-weighted average price of ETH.

This trustless verification influences the game's weather patterns, adding depth to the gameplay.

The climate system can be inflationary or deflationary, depending on the market.

Rain occurs if the market is going up; drought if it's going down.

It's a natural mechanism that mirrors the real market, tying the game's inflation to market action.

This connection to the real market makes the climate system a fresh approach in play-to-earn gaming.

Players are essentially degen out on the market, and the game's inflation is controlled in a way that feels natural.

The climate system contributes to a perpetual redistribution of value within CafeCosmos.

No allocation is needed, and the inflation matches market swings.

It's a solution that tries to battle key flaws in previous play-to-earn models.

The climate system in CafeCosmos is a new direction of thinking in blockchain gaming.

By learning from past failures and linking in-game mechanics to real-world financial metrics, it offers a fun and stable play experience.

Challenges and Solutions in Play-to-Earn Gaming

Autonomous Worlds is a new frontier in crypto.

The concept of fully onchain games is still in its infancy, a dream waiting to be realized.

@tarrenceva, a visionary and one of the co-founders of @cartridge_gg, sees the potential in this uncharted territory.

//A Thread//

It all started two years ago when Starknet released its Alpha.

It was the early days, a time when anime was absent from Starknet, and a mysterious programming language called Cairo was released with no documentation.

It was a challenge, a puzzle waiting to be solved.

Pioneers like @eth_worm and @guiltygyoza began to dig into this magical new technology.

Perama, an early contributor, was one of the original authors of the Perama notes, a resource on how to write Cairo programs.

Guilty, on the other hand, was experimenting with physics and neural networks onchain.

The inception of the onchain gaming ecosystem on top of Starknet was born from a proposal to recreate the classic game "Drug Wars."

A grant was funded, and a fully onchain game engine began to take shape.

Teams like @LootRealms, @topology_gg, @influenceth, and @briqNFT started building on top of Starknet, transitioning from Solidity and the limitations of the EVM.

Solidity was not designed for complex applications, and developers were constantly running into issues.

The challenges were many. But the vision of what could be achieved with Starknet was compelling enough to attract these pioneers.

As time went on, the Starknet stack began to take shape.

Cairo 1, a modern, Rust-like language, was introduced, tailored for building complex applications.

The @dojostarknet engine, an abstraction on top of Cairo, was developed, making it easier to build games.

The Cairo VM's performance improved, enabling games to be executed onchain with lower latency.

The platform @MadaraStarknet emerged as a robust sequencing framework, configurable to the specific needs of games.

Integration with Substrate allowed for easy setup of layer 3s, providing flexibility for game developers.

The Dojo ecosystem, a combined effort to build fully onchain games, was born.

Tools like Sozu, Katana, and Torii were developed, each serving a unique purpose in the game development process.

Dojo is focused on building fully unchained games on Starknet, and it starts to make waves.

Advancements in game development are rapid.

The implementation of a fully unchained 2D physics engine, the ability to train neural networks to drive cars, and the experimentation with fully off-chain games that are provable, all point to a future filled with excitement.

The world of onchain gaming has come a long way in a short time, and the future is awesome.

The collaboration, innovation, and vision of pioneers like Tarrence and others have opened a new chapter in the world of gaming and autonomous worlds.

The story of fully onchain games with the Starknet Stack is a testament to human creativity, determination, and the endless possibilities that tech can offer.

It's a story of a community coming together to push the boundaries of what's possible, creating a new frontier in the world of gaming that can lead to completely autonomous worlds.

The Future of Fully Onchain Games

Welcome to the Brave New Provable World!

Zero-knowledge proofs are transforming blockchains, offering trustlessness, decentralization, and censorship resistance.

@sylvechv says this means something for our tech.

smoll thread

In the onchain gaming ecosystem, efficiency is key.

Instead of running everything on the blockchain, local play with occasional proofs submission might be the way forward.

Gaming is changing!

Privacy and scalability are vital in today's digital age.

Zero-knowledge proofs offer a solution, tightly coupled with blockchain.

They enable secure transactions and a more robust decentralized network.

But!

Ever thought about proofs without blockchains?

Executing code locally can be faster, cheaper, and still secure.

It's a concept that challenges traditional thinking and opens new possibilities.

Integrating proofs into existing systems is a game-changer.

Imajin playing chess where players send proofs to verify moves, or the recent LK-99 videos we just watch the levitating materials but there is no proof of anything.

What about a provable game engine that revolutionizes online gaming?

This is true innovation, not just the next larp. (and its here @dojostarknet )

Blockchain has its place, but is it always necessary, is it the endgame?

While offering hardness and global consensus, there are scenarios where proofs without blockchain may be more desirable.

It's time to question and innovate.

Centralized yet provable systems are not a contradiction.

Accepting this concept can lead to open-source and new technological advancements.

The future is flexible and open to experimentation.

The Brave New Provable World is not just a concept; it's a call to action.

Whether it's blockchain, gaming, material science, or security, the infusion of trustlessness in normal digital environments is the next big step.

If we see something that is centralized yet provable, we could trust it.

The potential of ZK proofs is immense, and the development of new technologies ain't far off.

Why You Should Learn Cairo 1.0 and how

Ethereum's upcoming Shanghai upgrade is set to activate EIP-4895, enabling $eth staking withdrawals on the mainnet.

Here's an easy-to-understand explanation of how it's gonna work:🧵

Shanghai, with EIP-4895, will be hitting Ehtereum mainnet after successful testing on the public testnet Goerli.

Then validators can withdraw their staked ETH.

Validators can choose between two ways to withdraw:

partial withdrawals (PW) for just the extra rewards over 32 ETH, and full withdrawals (FW) to take out everything, including the initial amount and earned rewards.

For PW, validators need to set up their withdrawal info and hop in the withdrawal queue.

This queue processes 512 validators per epoch, or 16 per slot.

For FW, validators join an exit queue based on the churn limit, which comes from the number of validators and a withdrawal queue.

This setup helps keep the stake and security steady.

FW goes through both the exit and withdrawal queues, while PW only goes through the withdrawal queue.

For FW, there's a wait time of 256 epochs (27 hours) for non-slashed validators leaving and 8,192 epochs (36 days) for slashed validators.

Once EIP-4895 is active, the piled-up consensus layer rewards become available, and new ETH rewards are handed out automatically.

And that's the scoop! Its simple and queued, no need to worry about mass exits or any major FUD.
