About Starknet
Starknet provides an execution environment for applications that require more transaction capacity and lower fees than executing each transaction directly on Ethereum. Developers can deploy smart contracts on Starknet using Cairo, while transaction batches are backed by STARK proofs and settled on Ethereum.
STRK is used to pay transaction fees, participate in staking and take part in Starknet governance. Validators can stake STRK and attest to blocks, while token holders can participate directly or through delegation in governance decisions concerning the protocol. Starknet is gradually expanding validator responsibilities as part of its move towards more decentralised network operation.
Starknet was developed by StarkWare, which was founded in 2018 by Eli Ben-Sasson, Alessandro Chiesa, Michael Riabzev and Uri Kolodny. StarkWare develops blockchain systems based on STARK proofs, including Starknet and StarkEx.
Eli Ben-Sasson is a co-inventor of the STARK, FRI and Zerocash protocols and was a Founding Scientist of Zcash.

MANA Crypt Yields Explained for Risk-Aware DeFi Users
Decentraland (MANA) liquidity pools keep advertising triple-digit APYs, but those numbers rarely survive contact with real math. This breakdown runs the actual returns on providing MANA liquidity across Curve and Uniswap, layers in gas fees, impermanent loss, and reward-token dilution, and finds the breakeven point where passive single-sided staking on Aave beats active farming. The short version: because MANA trades on Ethereum mainnet, fixed gas costs eat small depositors alive, the breakeven position runs into the thousands of dollars, and impermanent loss is a certainty rather than a risk on a token this volatile. Move to an L2 like Arbitrum or Base and the crossover point drops sharply. For anyone under roughly ten thousand dollars without L2 access, the math says buy and hold rather than farm. Those triple-digit APYs at the top are a sell signal.
Crypto News NavigatorMay 23, 2026Starknet Price Action Defies Market Logic Right Now
Starknet (STRK) presents one of the widest gaps in Layer 2 between on-chain technical output and token price. STRK trades just above $0.061 after a 35% single-day surge on May 8, 2026, up 71% month-to-month but still far below its all-time highs. The catch is that the rally rode a market-wide rotation into privacy coins, with Zcash up 63% and Dash up 40% on the week, rather than recognition of Starknet's engineering. The network shipped post-quantum wallets via the Shinobi upgrade and high-throughput zk integrations ahead of schedule, while a 400% volume spike signals short-term speculation, not long-term repositioning. A cluster of STRK unlocks in mid-May, part of a roughly $68 million industry-wide schedule, adds dilution pressure right as the token rallied. With Arbitrum ahead on TVL, Optimism on governance, and Solana reclaiming developer attention, the open question is whether a thinly valued token with strong tech but unproven product-market fit converges up or keeps drifting.

FET (FET) is the unified token of the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, formed in 2024 by the merger of Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol (with Cudos added later), with the Fetch.ai network operating as a Cosmos-based blockchain focused on autonomous AI agents, decentralized AI marketplaces, and tokenized data exchange. FET trades around $0.23 with daily volume that surged from $77.4 million to $153 million in mid-April. Bosch co-founded the Fetch.ai Foundation in 2024 as a non-profit governance body, and Deutsche Telekom joined as the first corporate partner with its MMS subsidiary serving as a Fetch.ai validator. Bosch operated agents autonomously on Fetch.ai testnet beginning late 2024. The ASI: Create alpha launched in May 2026, with social engagement metrics pushing FET from position #297 to #4 on AltRank.
