Heads up, the StarkNet Edu newsletter has migrated to Revue.
Welcome to our very first edition of the StarkNet newsletter!
Once every two weeks, we compile the best videos, articles, and Twitter threads that will help you master the technology behind StarkNet.
StarkNet Community Call #21

STARK Struck Podcast | Episode 2
In this podcast hosted by Henri Lieutaud (@henrlihenrli), Sylve Chevet (@sylvechv) and Lancelot Ferriere (@wraitii) make the case for Briq, a platform on StarkNet that allows the creation of NFTs by assembling fungible tokens that act as “legos.” The platform creators also discussed how Loot inspired them, why they chose StarkNet, the early days of the project, and even storage proofs.
StarkNet Workshop #0: Account Abstraction
In this one-hour workshop, Ben Goebel (@DrSpacemn) explains what account abstraction is, how it differs from the EOA model of Ethereum, the new cool features it enables, and how it can be implemented on StarkNet.
Account abstraction is one of the most interesting topics on StarkNet that might be flying under your radar!
StarkNet ERC721 Workshop: Step-by-step Guide
If you want to get hands-on with StarkNet but don’t know where to start, the StarkWare team has put together a set of workshops to help you understand how to create ERC20 tokens, NFTs, user accounts, and much more.
Even these base-level workshops can be intimidating if it’s your first time learning Cairo or StarkNet. Luckily, David Barreto (@barretodavid) has put together a detailed guide to solving the ERC721 workshop to help you get started.
