Starknet finally begins to address the key shortcomings in ecosystem development in 2025.

To be honest, a public chain is useless if it can't attract funds, has poor cross-chain experience, lacks a clear decentralization roadmap, and offers only average user experience—any of these issues can hinder the development of the entire ecosystem. Starknet has clearly recognized this.

In terms of decentralization, Starknet is gradually advancing its staking mechanism, which is a necessary step toward true decentralization. Meanwhile, the layout of BTCFi, optimization of cross-chain solutions, and strengthening of privacy protection capabilities all point in the same direction—building a complete ecosystem that can attract capital and retain users.

2025 is the validation phase. If these strategies can truly be implemented effectively, Starknet may then move toward large-scale adoption.

ngl the staking pivot feels like watching someone finally learn to walk after years of crawling... but also like, isn't this just catching up to what everyone else did in 2021? the real paradigm shift would be if they actually execute the btcfi angle without it becoming another hollow tokenomics theater piece

It's again "This year is the verification phase"... I just want to ask, where did the "verification" from the past few years go? Starknet is indeed working on addressing its shortcomings, but when it comes to capital inflow, honestly, it all depends on whether the lending rate goes up—without real collateral backing, even the best roadmap is just on paper. Decentralized staking? Forget it, I've already lost money once, and when the liquidation price hits, you're forced to liquidate immediately. Now I look at any ecosystem and first consider the risk control points.

Speaking of Starknet's recent move, it is indeed impressive, but don't celebrate too early. Last year, we heard this kind of "finally" rhetoric quite often.

It's finally getting serious. It was pretty awkward when those previous promises didn't materialize.

Finally, someone dares to tell the truth: ecosystem development is more critical than the technology itself.

After all this talk, it still comes down to execution. Anyone can draw a pie in the sky.

imagine if starknet's staking mechanism was like a michelin-star kitchen finally getting its farm-to-fork supply chain sorted... the infrastructure was always there but nobody could actually *taste* it, you know? finally connecting the dots between btcfi, cross-chain, and privacy like different flavor profiles coming together. 2025's the real proof-of-freshness test imo

Someone finally said it. Starknet was really underperforming before, but starting to catch up now is better late than never.
