In the 15th Starknet community call, the team discusses several key topics related to Starknet’s development and community involvement. The call includes a presentation by Abram from Braavos, a Starknet wallet, who introduces the “Get Starknet” library—a tool designed to simplify wallet integration for dApps.
Key Points:
Introduction and Presentation by Braavos:
– Abram presents “Get Starknet,” a library created to help dApp developers easily integrate with Starknet wallets. The library offers seamless wallet connectivity, multi-wallet support, and standardized APIs.
– The presentation covers the motivation behind the library, its features, and its benefits for both developers and wallet providers.
– “Get Starknet” encapsulates wallet discovery, supports various wallet connect modes, and allows for switching wallets at runtime. It’s designed to be a community-driven project with contributions and feedback encouraged.
Starknet Wallets and Account Abstraction:
– A discussion on the differences between traditional blockchain accounts and account abstraction, which allows smart contracts to manage authentication and hold assets.
– Abram highlights how account abstraction enables features like social recovery, two-factor authentication, and multi-signature wallets, enhancing security and user experience.
– The conversation also touches on the potential for incentivizing developers who create popular smart contract classes, a concept made possible by the upcoming contract class and instance model in Starknet.
Upcoming Starknet Alpha Version 0.9.0:
– Tom from the Starknet team joins the discussion to provide insights into the upcoming Starknet Alpha version 0.9.0.
– Key features include the introduction of contract classes and instances, which separate contract logic from storage and enable contract factories and fee payments for contract deployments.
– Version 0.9.0 will enforce fee payments for all transactions and introduce the first version of sequencer parallel execution, aiming to significantly improve throughput.
– The release is expected in the first week of June, with possible minor updates following shortly after.
Roadmap and Performance Goals:
– The team discusses the broader goal of achieving 10 times the transaction throughput at 1% of the current cost, though this goal is likely to be realized later in Q3.
– The call concludes with a Q&A session where attendees ask about the implications of the new features and the future direction of Starknet.
Overall, the call emphasizes the community’s role in shaping Starknet’s development and encourages contributions to projects like “Get Starknet.” The team also highlights the exciting upcoming features in version 0.9.0, which will enhance both the developer and user experience on Starknet.
