Make them try Starknet so they can truly understand why altVMs matter for the Ethereum ecosystem and its future.
To show why Starknet offers the best UX in the game (not just on Ethereum but across the entire ecosystem):
> Get them to download an
@argentHQ or
@myBraavos wallet. Theyโll see the power of Starknet's native Account Abstraction, as these smart wallets come with unique UX features like 2FA, 3FA, spending limits, and more.
> Let them try our DeFi apps to experience the magic of Starknetโs multicall: executing everything in just 1 transaction (vs. 2, 3, or even 4 on other ecosystems). Theyโll also discover Starknet Paymaster, which allows users to pay gas fees natively in ETH or STRK on dApps like
@avnu_fi in any token (thanks to AVNU's paymaster).
> Have them explore our fully onchain gaming ecosystem powered by
@ohayo_dojo and
@cartridge_gg. They'll see features like Passkeys (creating wallets with Face ID), Session Keys Paymaster (gamers can play without signing a single transaction or paying gas fees during a gaming session).
More precisely, to showcase our unique features:
> Try the fully onchain limit order feature of
@EkuboProtocol.
> Use the DCA feature of
@avnu_fi
> Play our fully onchain games, like
@JokersOfNeon,
@RealmsEternum (Season 2 is ~2 months away),
@influenceth, and others.
> Lend ETH and stablecoins on
@vesuxyz.
> Launch a shitcoin (for the culture) with security measures using
@BrotherUnrug.
> Download
@focustree_app to boost focus and productivity.
> Get fit with
@starkfitclub.
> Create an NFT collection on
@MarketPyramid.
> Try
@paradex, Starknetโs appchain (the Ethereum's answer to Hyperliquid)
Iโll say it again: Ethereum folks should support and understand the importance of altVMs for the Ethereum community.
Starknet is Ethereum's answer to Solana and our best chance to onboard the next wave of normies onto Ethereum.
If you could force everyone at the EF, from Vitalik to a hypothetical new hire on their first day, to do 3-10 things onchain tomorrow, what would they be?
