Over the past few days, I've researched hundreds of Starknet projects. Next, I'll share my findings—here are 10 particularly interesting projects I discovered within the Starknet ecosystem.
1. Astraly
Astraly is a launchpad for the Starknet ecosystem designed to help new projects, carefully vetted by their team, get off the ground. They offer an innovative lottery system for project launches and provide full-cycle support throughout pre-sale, sale, and post-sale phases.
Astraly is also building a reputation system where users can earn badges through activities like testnet participation to increase their lottery chances. Currently in testing, Astraly plans to launch on the Starknet mainnet in Q1 2023.
2. Starknet ID
Starknet ID is a domain name service similar to ENS, allowing you to mint your on-chain identity and set a .Stark domain address. You can use your Starknet ID across partnered protocols and earn rewards for both on-chain and off-chain contributions.
They’re also implementing a cross-chain bridge solution—holders of any ENS or Starknet ID domain will be able to claim a free domain on the other platform. Starknet ID is currently in testing, with mainnet launch seemingly imminent.
3. Magnetyfi
Magnetyfi is an asset management protocol enabling anyone to create pools and define strategies. Others can then contribute funds into these pools.
Once a strategy has been properly backtested, asset managers can deploy it to generate fees for others participating in the pool. Strategies may include trading, staking, and other investment activities. If realized, Magnetyfi could allow anyone with a reliable strategy to become an asset manager.
Magnetyfi’s potential challenges lie in security and trust. The team claims to have insurance and safeguards in place to prevent misuse of funds. Currently in Alpha testing, they are actively working on their roadmap, whitepaper, and website. The project remains under development, and I’m eager to see its final form.
4. Starkswap
Starkswap is a strong contender to become the primary AMM on Starknet. The team launched their testnet in March and announced a complete rebuild of V1 from scratch, now supporting custom curves.
Recently, they’ve also launched Iron Fleet with Yearn—a new Starknet protocol that allows users to pool assets when interacting with Layer 1 DeFi protocols. This enables gas costs to be shared among users, reducing individual transaction fees.
5. Nostra
Nostra is a suite of projects being built on Starknet, including:
- $UNO: An overcollateralized stablecoin backed by ETH;
- Lending: Featuring isolated risk mechanisms;
- Swaps: An AMM where users can provide liquidity to earn higher yields;
Nostra has backing from notable investors such as Jump and Wintermute. With investor interest pushing for private testnet rollouts, I’m keen to monitor its progress.
6. Aspect
Aspect is the first NFT marketplace on Starknet. Its user-friendly design leads me to believe it could become the Opensea of Starknet. Aspect is also developing a feature that will allow users to mint NFTs directly via their website.
Their mainnet is live. You can explore Starknet collections on their site, but proceed with caution—they cannot guarantee NFT migration through Starknet Regenesis.
7. Zkxprotocol
Zkx is a derivatives protocol offering perpetual swaps similar to GMX. What makes ZKX interesting is their attempt to build a decentralized order book model for their protocol using a custom network of nodes. The project has not yet launched a public testnet.
8. Briq
Briq is an NFT creation platform where you can build NFTs using cube-like units called "Briqs". Using their builder—which reminds me of Minecraft—you can assemble structures out of Briqs, which can then be combined into NFTs.
If you gift such an NFT, the recipient can break it back down into Briqs and create something new. Two NFTs can be merged to form more complex ones. The composability aspect is what fascinates me most about Briqs.
People are already using Briqs to make PFPs, portraits, and more. You could even build NFTs for a full game if desired. Should broader adoption occur and increasingly complex NFTs emerge, Briq could evolve into a compelling ecosystem. The project is currently in Alpha.
9. Fibrous Finance
Fibrous Finance is a DeFi aggregator built on Starknet that routes any trade through the most efficient path. The coolest part? It splits your capital and executes swaps simultaneously across multiple AMMs to maximize output.
Fibrous is currently on testnet. Their roadmap includes adding order-book-based trading and multi-token swaps in the future.
10. Starksheet
Starksheet is a versatile Web3 application. It resembles a spreadsheet where each cell functions as a dynamic NFT—any data you input belongs strictly to you. Users can enter numbers or reference formulas from other cells.
Their goal is to create a decentralized environment that encourages collaborative building—a “decentralized intelligence protocol.” Version 1 is already live, and they’re continuously iterating based on user feedback.
