Starknet has reached a remarkable turning point in its development, announcing that the total amount of staked $STRK has surpassed 1 billion tokens.

At the same time, the network’s user base has grown to over 1 million participants. What makes this achievement especially noteworthy is the speed at which it happened: only a short time ago, Starknet was operating with essentially no staked assets and just a handful of early adopters.

The surge in both staking and user activity demonstrates how quickly the ecosystem has evolved. A growing number of individuals and organizations are choosing $STRK for its scalability, low-cost transactions, and robust development environment.

As more applications launch on the network and community involvement increases, these metrics signal a strong upward trajectory.

Reaching such milestones not only reinforces confidence in the project’s long-term vision but also showcases the broader momentum behind layer-2 solutions. With expanding infrastructure, an active developer community, and rising interest from new users, Starknet is positioning itself as one of the key players shaping the future of blockchain technology.

In October, STON.fi recorded swap volumes surpassing $120 million, marking one of the platform’s most active months to date.

To put this into perspective, if every single swap required just one second to complete, processing the entire month’s activity sequentially would have taken nearly four years. This comparison highlights the immense scale of on-chain operations taking place in a very short period.

Yet STON.fi executes all of this in real time. Swaps are completed instantly thanks to the platform’s highly optimized, resilient infrastructure designed specifically for the demands of modern decentralized finance. At the heart of this system is a commitment to delivering speed, reliability, and a user-friendly experience.
