StarkNet Open Source Sequencer
StarkWare is developing a new Apache 2.0 licensed StarkNet sequencer! As Eli Ben-Sasson says, “Speak softly and deliver big code”. The sequencer is written in Rust and the first goal is to increase StarkNet’s throughput. Long-term, the sequencer will play a critical role in the decentralization of the StarkNet network.
Release the Cairo!!!
Just keep shipping, just keep shipping, just keep shipping, shipping, shipping. We are releasing Cairo 1.0-alpha.2, which brings a host of new features to the language:
It is now possible to implement an ERC20 contract
Dictionaries, contract events, storage mappings, traits, type inferences, methods, oh my!
Those new linguistic features will be applicable in the upcoming StarkNet-v0.11.0 version
