Starknet is advancing its capabilities by becoming the first network to simultaneously settle transactions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. This initiative aims to enhance cross-chain interoperability, with Starknet focusing on scaling Bitcoin as a top priority. The integration is expected to foster collaboration between the Bitcoin and Ethereum communities, with potential use cases on the horizon. Additionally, Chainlink's Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) has been launched on Bitlayer Labs, serving as the canonical cross-chain infrastructure for the network, further driving Bitcoin finance (BTCFi) adoption within the ecosystem. The developments highlight a growing emphasis on interoperability standards and the future of decentralized finance.
