Starknet (STRK)

[Extended 4, Opportunities and Risks for Individual Investors] In the previous article we said that Extended goes beyond on-chain trading features and is closer to an institution-centered account-based financial structure. What does this change mean for individual investors? (Likes really provide great motivation) ――― 1. Expansion of Capital Flow Utilization With Extended, individuals can also perform “capital management”. In traditional DeFi, functions were separated. - Providing collateral - Receiving loans - Trading - Setting profit strategies, etc.. In the previously fragmented structure, Starknet-based Extended enables a single collateral (asset) to simultaneously facilitate trading / liquidity acquisition (loan) / profit generation. This is not just a matter of convenience, It means individuals can act like institutions that manage portfolios. - - - 2. Expansion of RWA and Broader Opportunity Space When RWA expands through Starknet’s Tradfi product Extended, the range of assets that can be handled on-chain increases. It is no longer limited to the coin market; metals / bonds / equities / stablecoin‑based income assets and other diverse assets become manageable. Through the structure of Extended, it becomes possible to: - Use stable assets as collateral to access risky assets - Construct strategies across assets - Design positions based on capital efficiency These various actions become feasible. More choices mean the market itself grows, which also presents opportunities for individual investors. ――― [Risks to Watch Out For] However, as the structure becomes more financial, risks also arise. Typically: - Liquidation risk (leverage / collateral) - Smart contract risk - RWA issuer risk - Liquidity risk As convenience grows, individual investors are prone to taking excessive positions, so they must always be aware of and cautious about these risks. ――― [Conclusion, My Thoughts] Extended is a structure that provides individuals with more opportunities, while also demanding “responsibility that is closer to finance”.

Hello? Today is the final piece I’m writing as a first‑batch Starknet ambassador. The last posting topic is to explain RWA/TradFi and introduce the TradFi product @extendedapp that is being used on Starknet. Please look forward to this post as well! In the Starknet ecosystem, attempts are increasing to go beyond simple DeFi and broaden the financial structure itself. There are attempts to move away from deposit‑swap‑centric structures and to handle on‑chain the structures that were dealt with in traditional finance. These changes are often discussed together with the terms RWA or TradFi. As you may already know, RWA and TradFi are attempts to bring real‑world assets or traditional‑finance structures onto the blockchain. In other words, the range of assets that blockchain handles is expanding and evolving, right? In this situation, we can give a spoonful of interest to @extendedapp in the @Starknet ecosystem. 1️⃣ Starting point of Extended Extended is not trying to expand a structure that rewards after deposit, instead it is a project that focuses on implementing on‑chain the trading and position‑management structures familiar in traditional finance. Thus, positions are set based on price movements, and risk management processes are intended to be handled via smart contracts. 2️⃣ Direction of Extended Extended is not trying to create brand‑new financial concepts, but to adapt structures already used in traditional finance to the on‑chain environment. This is not an attempt to make DeFi more complex, but an effort to broaden the scope of finance that can be handled on blockchain and make blockchain usage more closely aligned with reality. And the reason this structure can be realized on Starknet is because Starknet, premised on scalability and security, is a chain designed with the intention of hosting financial logic more complex than simple swaps or deposits. In other words, Starknet is needed to handle on‑chain structures that are close to traditional finance.

Perps exchanges thrive on STARK-tech. Gaming apps thrive on STARK-tech. That's because it's the right tech to support their technical requirements. Just like privacy and quantum resistance, every chain will have to be able to support complex logic. Starknet does that today. https://t.co/f9FssRytDf

bitwise has 32m STRK as a validator. etf filed dec 20th according to the 75d review in the file the ETF would be set to go live for March 15th. this is without hold ups- but no news yet. have seen backlash to my posts. the token does not represent this ecosystem- it's simply delayed. absolutely everybody is sidelined. i do not think anyone has shipped more than them since the market started to decline. too much to mention, check out @Starknet acc. starknet will be top 5 in TVL and a top 10 token in 2027-2028. willing to die on this hill.
