BTCFi: Starknet Bets on Bitcoin with 100M STRK

For the first time on any L2, BTC holders can stake without surrendering custody to secure Starknet and earn rewards; the ledger already murmurs of ~65k delegators, ~150 validators and 575M+ STRK staked. Strategic partners including WBTC, Lombard, Solv, Threshold Network, Layerzero and Re7 Capital will ease BTC’s DeFi access and institutional deployment.

Starknet emphasized zk‑STARK security (post‑quantum, no trusted setup), audited transparency, decentralized sequencers, and work with BitVM teams and Raspberry Pi‑verified Bitcoin headers as steps toward becoming Bitcoin’s execution layer.

After Brilliant Minds Said Goodbye To A Key Character, Who Is Really Going To Betray Wolf In Season 2?

Brilliant Minds quickly got started with its second season in 2025. The first episode ended with a glimpse into the future, hinting at trouble for Dr. Oliver Wolf (Zachary Quinto). The second episode saw the departure of his father (for the time being) and then his mother while she was at Bronx General.
