The StarkNet ecosystem has had many breakthroughs in 2022 as the number of projects developing on StarkNet through Cairo is increasing. In the article about the overview of the StarkNet ecosystem in 2022, we and everyone will look back at the updates and upgrades of StarkNet, and also review StarkNet’s long-term development strategy!

Indicators on the StarkNet ecosystem
StarkNet TPS
Some notable numbers about the StarkNet ecosystem over the past year:
There is a common question from the community about StarkNet’s ZkRollup, which is why the project’s TPS is so slow. According to the project’s answer, at the present time the number of TPS will depend on number of users on the platform. If the number of users is larger, the network speed will be faster and vice versa.
The on-chain parameters are very accurate to what is happening on the StarkNet ecosystem right now. An extremely young ecosystem but not yet providing the best experience for users. What makes the market excited about StarkNet right now may come from two main reasons:
The amount of assets carried across L2 via bridges
Of course, with a young ecosystem and user experiences that are not really optimized, it is completely understandable that StarkNet becomes the least used Layer 2. If you put ZkSync and StarkNet close together, they have many similarities, but ZkSync brings a better user experience.

Updated StarkNet ecosystem
The StarkNet ecosystem was updated in May 2022
The StarkNet ecosystem has a few notable points as follows:
- Has all the basic pieces of an ecosystem including AMM, Lending & Borrowing, Wallet, Stablecoin, Asset Management, NFT, Gaming, Derivatives,…
- The number of projects that are natives means built and developed in the Cairo language. This is a positive thing for the ecosystem as their programming languages and events attract developers.
Let’s take a look at some outstanding projects in each segment of the StarkNet ecosystem:
- Infastructure: ZKGraph, WIW Protocol, ViewBlock, StarkScan, Topology, Storage Proofs, Verilog Solutions, Starky, Pathfinder, Giza, Herodotus.
- Bridge: Orbiter Finance, StarkNet Bridge.
- Wallets: Braavos, Argent X,
- AMM: MySwap, StarkSwap, JediSwap, 10KSwap, Alpha Road,…
- Lending & Borrowing: zkLend, xBank, Donex Finance,…
- Launchpad: zkStater, Astraly.
- Stablecoins: Maker DAO
- Derivatives: ZKX, Brine Protocol.
- NFT & NFT Marketplace: Frens Lands, Loot Realms, Mint Square, RYG Labs, MonkeyMind, StarkNet.id, StarkGuild, Musicvers,…
- GameFi: Stark Spot, ZKasino, The Ninth, Redline, Eykar, Dope Wars, 0xStarks,…
It can be seen that the StarkNet ecosystem is clearly expanding, the number of projects is growing clearly, but there are not nearly too many projects that bring innovation in DeFi.
The highlight of the StarkNet ecosystem at the end of the year was the number of mainnet starting projects such as MySwap, JediSwap and a number of other projects. It can be said that projects on StarkNet are preparing to mainnet together at the end of the year.
Highlights in 2022
Perhaps the biggest highlight of StarkNet in 2022 was the slip of the tongue of 3AC’s Founder when he accidentally said he had invested in StarkWare tokens, causing the platform to quickly announce tokenomics and related information. mandarin.
Some events to look forward to with StarkNet in 2023
- Retroactive: StarkNet officially launched the token and deployed the first round of retroactives to users who have supported the platform since the first day of launch. After StarkNet launches tokens, projects on StarkNet will also simultaneously deploy tokens and will also be retroactive to users.
- Hackathon Global: StarkNet begins implementing the first global hackathon events to attract developers. Compared to other ecosystems, StarkNet focuses on following the non-EVM trend similar to what Solana did.
- On-chain Game: This is a term that brings GameFi to a completely different angle from the game platforms on the current market by bringing all activities from off-chain to on-chain instead of just the buying and selling or interaction phase. with NFTs.
- Innovation: With the start of StarkNet being relatively successful in attracting users, we are waiting for an initiative or idea that can help change the face of an industry in DeFi, NFT or Gaming.
Summary
It can be seen that StarkNet did not have a very outstanding year in the crypto market, but the ecosystem is still constantly growing and expanding, which is also something for us to believe in and expect that StarkNet will have a breakthrough in 2023. more.
It can be said that in the crypto winter, the most important thing is that the project still retains the mentality of a true builder. It may or may not stand out, but focusing on work will still help the project continue to develop. develop and have the ability to succeed in the future.
