Mainnet is about to launch, and Starcoin remains true to its original aspirations with unwavering resilience. Over the past year, we’ve deepened our technical expertise and achieved breakthrough after breakthrough, laying a robust foundation for a high-performance public blockchain. Even amidst market fluctuations and numerous challenges, our focus has been on building a scalable, secure, and decentralized infrastructure that unlocks greater possibilities for the future.

From Concept to Practice

Since announcing Starcoin 2.0 in 2023, we’ve relentlessly overcome obstacles and introduced groundbreaking innovations:

• FlexiDAG:
  Our pioneering Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) technology seamlessly integrated with PoW has transformed transaction processing. With a 17-fold increase in processing capacity and a 10-fold acceleration in block generation, our testnet has achieved an impressive 130,000 TPS, far outpacing traditional blockchains.

• TurboSTM:
  This advanced engine introduces parallel smart contract execution by utilizing Multi-Version Concurrency Control (MVCC) and an optimistic locking mechanism. TurboSTM ensures that even during periods of high on-chain activity, transactions are processed in real time and at low cost.

• Upgrade of the Move Language and Security Assurance:
  With our recent upgrade to Move V8, we’ve integrated formal verification mechanisms and enhanced our resource-oriented smart contract development. This not only minimizes common vulnerabilities but also reinforces our security standards.

• Modular Architecture and the StarStack Tool:
  Our proprietary StarStack tool, built on a modular architecture, simplifies the deployment of custom blockchains. It allows developers to tailor consensus, governance, and economic models with one-click deployment, enabling rapid iteration and seamless cross-platform integration.

These achievements not only demonstrate Starcoin’s significant improvements in performance and security but also provide the infrastructure necessary for large-scale Web3 applications.

Paving the Way for Web 3.0

Starcoin 2.0 injects unlimited potential into the roll-out of Web 3.0:

• Native Scalability:
  By solving scalability at the base layer without relying on L2 solutions, Starcoin delivers a direct, efficient on-chain experience.
• Developer Freedom:
  Our modular design, paired with the security and efficiency of Move, empowers developers to rapidly iterate and deploy applications in sectors such as DeFi, DEX, and GameFi.
• Ultra-Low Transaction Costs:
  Continuous network optimizations keep transaction fees extremely low (often below $0.001), ensuring a smooth and cost-effective experience for all users.

Unwavering Commitment Through Trials

Every step forward has been driven by our vibrant community. Our supporters have actively participated in the Proxima testnet, experiencing FlexiDAG’s pre-mining and testing StarStack’s deployment capabilities. With the full mainnet launch on the horizon, we are set to roll out additional features—such as parallel transaction optimization and enhanced on-chain governance via DAO voting—to further expand the ecosystem into DeFi and gaming domains.

Looking Ahead

The release of Starcoin 2.0 and StarStack marks not only a technological breakthrough but also our steadfast commitment to the future of public blockchain ecosystems. Regardless of market fluctuations, our team and community remain dedicated to pushing the boundaries of innovation. We will continue to refine our technology, overcome scalability challenges, and deliver the most secure and efficient on-chain experience for developers and users alike.
