Starknet reactivated its ecosystem and reached at least $276 million in TVL, driven by an aggressive rewards program for Bitcoin deposits. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben‑Sasson says the result validates turning Bitcoin into a productive, liquid asset.

Starknet’s native token STRK jumped 35% on Monday as analysts point to parallels with Zcash and renewed interest in zero-knowledge tech. The move highlights growing appetite for zk-based projects across the crypto market.
