In this community call, the team discusses several key points regarding the development and community engagement for Starknet. The call covers upcoming events, community organization, new tools, project updates, and plans for further decentralization.
Key Points Discussed:
1. Community Engagement: The main objective of the call is to organize the Starknet community better. The team is considering the implementation of a discourse platform to archive and make documentation and discussions more accessible. They also discussed ways non-developers can contribute, such as through translations or community-building efforts.
2. Account Abstraction: The team talks about ongoing projects, such as Argent and OpenZeppelin, working on implementing account contracts for Starknet. These efforts aim to offer users more flexibility in managing their accounts and interactions on the platform.
3. Quantum Resistance: The team addresses concerns about quantum computing’s potential threat to cryptographic systems. They explain that Starknet uses cryptographic primitives considered quantum-resistant, providing a robust defense against quantum-based attacks.
4. Starknet Decentralization: The team acknowledges that Starknet is not yet decentralized but outlines a roadmap toward achieving a permissionless, decentralized Layer 2 network. They emphasize that current efforts focus on functionality and preparing for future decentralization.
5. Snapshot Collaboration: The team briefly mentions StarkVote, a project to improve voting mechanisms on Ethereum by using Starknet to handle voting verification and reduce gas costs.
The call concludes with a request for community feedback on the format and frequency of these calls, and suggestions for making the community more effective. The team also plans to host future sessions where tool developers can present their work to the community.
