El Salvador now has the world's first Starknet-powered Bitcoin ATM, allowing a Bitcoin purchase from a Starknet wallet via an atomic swap to Lightning.
Thanks to the team @k1elsalvador for making this possible!
@Yieldstark a new BTC-native yield optimizer built on @Starknet, has released its website.
Their smart agent will be designed to help Bitcoin holders earn sustainable yield without having to use volatile assets.
Fresh liquidity for rUSDC has been added to @EkuboProtocol, allowing borrowers to get rUSDC there, repay their @vesuxyz loans, and borrow other stablecoins like USDC, USDT, or CASH instead.
This is made so that rUSDC holders can pay back their loans.
The @Jediswap frontend has been deactivated. Users with existing positions can now only remove their liquidity directly from the smart contracts.

The beta for Starknode Kit by @the_buidl is out!
This new Go-based tool makes it easy to run a Starknet full node with minimal setup. It lets you spin up Ethereum clients alongside a Starknet Juno node, with full validator support coming soon.
We're excited to release the beta version of Starknode Kit — our Go-based tool that simplifies running a @Starknet full node. With minimal configuration, developers and node operators can spin up @ethereum execution clients (Geth & Reth) and beacon node clients (Lighthouse & Prysm) alongside a Starknet Juno node.
Kudos to our amazing engineers pushing this forward. We’re just getting started, full validator support is WIP — and community feedback will help shape what comes next!
Try it out:

The @ParadexFNDN extended Season 2 for up to 6 months to launch key features like spot trading and increase the $DIME token allocation, aiming to ensure long-term protocol success and accelerate the token's listing if traction grows sooner.
Season 2 Update
The Paradex Foundation has decided to extend Season 2 by up to 6 months to ensure optimal conditions for the $DIME token listing.
+ This extension enables the launch of spot trading, dated options, pre-markets, yield bearing synthetic dollars (XUSD) and allows current growth initiatives to accelerate and mature.
+ Spot trading is particularly important as the Foundation plans to launch the $DIME token listing on Paradex's native spot markets.
+ Season 2 allocation will be increased from the current 15% size. The total amount above 15% will be determined at the end of Season 2 and will depend on total traction and participation.
+ It is critical to note that the Foundation views the 6 month timeline as deliberately conservative and will accelerate listing earlier if growth and traction accelerate sooner.
Rationale:
The Foundation's primary responsibility is ensuring the long-term success of the protocol and maximizing value for the community. The extension provides necessary time for Paradex’s product roadmap to demonstrate meaningful traction and establish a stronger foundation for sustainable growth post-listing.
