Dear on-the-path-to-becoming-quantum-safe community!
We continue to push post-quantum security and privacy. Here are a few things that happened in our ecosystem recently:
* POST-QUANTUM SECURITY
1st EVER QUANTUM-SAFE BITCOIN TRANSACTION
Last week, we executed the very first quantum-safe Bitcoin transaction ever. This is a huge milestone, if only because it shows we have bright minds that can do what others think is impossible, once they set their minds to it. And also because working toward quantum-readiness is an important goal which we'll continue to advocate for.
This piece of news demonstrates our commitment and ability to getting crypto ready for the quantum-era. We prioritise quantum-readiness and we have the expertise and the tech stack to implement it.

QUANTUM HUB
StarkWare expanded its quantum hub, highlighting important information about StarkWare and post-quantum security: the foundations and architecture which will ensure Starknet’s quantum resistance, the planned migration path for the elements that are not yet post-quantum secure, and more.
More content and information is coming soon.

PRIVACY SPRINT HACKATHON
We extended the Privacy Sprint hackathon by one week (ending Sep 7th).
Many builders (almost 200) across many projects (177!) built all sorts of privacy features and apps, from wallets and payments, to messaging, auctions and more.
What I like about these numbers, variety, and pace is that we have so many tools and such good architecture for STRK20 that it really does make it simple and fast to get privacy for apps. If the issue used to be that privacy is hard to build on top of blockchain - this is now resolved.
Looking forward to see the final projects!
REVENUES FLOWING BACK TO ECOSYSTEM
Starknet revenue is now flowing back into Starknet!! This is exciting.
25M STRK from the Starknet sequencer revenue were delegated back to the community, strengtheni
