The upgrade of Starcoin 2.0 injects new momentum into the blockchain ecosystem

4 min readDec 17, 2024

In the continuous evolution of the blockchain industry, the technological upgrading of public chains is the key driving force for the development of the entire ecosystem. As a public chain deeply involved in the Move ecosystem, the comprehensive upgrade of Starcoin 2.0 is not only an important milestone in its own development, but also injects new vitality and possibilities into the entire blockchain ecosystem. From performance to compatibility, to developer friendliness and blockchain development framework, the upgrade of Starcoin 2.0 demonstrates its long-term plan for technological innovation and ecological development.

1. Scalability: paves the way for large-scale applications

Scalability is one of the main bottlenecks hindering the development of the blockchain industry. Ethereum is limited by scalability and has suffered a massive loss of ecological applications and users. Bitcoin is limited by scalability and can only complete 7 transactions per second. At the same time, as the complexity and diversity of Web3 applications continue to increase, it is urgent to enhance the scalability of the blockchain.

Starcoin 2.0 has significantly improved the network’s TPS (transactions per second) and confirmation speed by optimizing the consensus mechanism and execution engine during the upgrade. In the trial operation environment, TPS can reach up to 130,000, providing high-frequency transactions and complex contract execution. Provides a solid foundation.

FlexiDAG improves consensus: dynamically adjusts block generation time, difficulty and block generation rewards, speeds up block generation, shortens transaction confirmation time, and greatly improves Starcoin’s performance and system efficiency.
TurboSTM parallel processing: introduces multi-threaded processing capabilities to achieve more efficient transaction execution.

These optimizations provide better infrastructure support for large-scale applications in areas such as DeFi, GameFi, and NFT.

2. Compatibility upgrade: deeply integrated into the Move ecosystem

As a public chain built on the Move language, Starcoin has always focused on the compatibility and flexibility of Move. The upgrade of Starcoin 2.0 enables deeper compatibility with mainstream applications and tools in the Move ecosystem.

Portability of smart contracts: Smart contracts developed based on the supported Move public chain can be migrated to Starcoin without rewriting the code and adapting to new languages. They only need to make simple adjustments to be deployed on multiple platforms.
Reduce learning costs: Starcoin is written in Move language and is connected to the development components and resource libraries of the target public chain. This eliminates the need for developers to relearn programming languages and development paradigms, and reduces the difficulty of application development.
Increase network effects: The development of the entire Move ecosystem is still in its early stages. Through compatibility development between public chains, ecological applications can share users, which will help promote the rapid development of the project.

This upgrade not only consolidates Starcoin’s important position in the Move ecosystem, but also attracts more developers to deploy new applications on its platform.

3. Developer-friendly: lower the technical threshold and release innovation potential

Starcoin 2.0 significantly lowers the development threshold by enhancing development tools and optimizing on-chain experience, allowing more developers to get started easily:

Development tool optimization: Provide a more complete SDK and debugging tools to make smart contract development more efficient.
Primary development support: Detailed documentation, CLI tools and community support provide a solid foundation for blockchain development and help users explore and innovate independently.
Modular design: Modular construction supports flexible customization of governance, consensus models, and economic frameworks to meet a variety of application needs while maintaining simplicity of operation.

This friendly development environment not only improves project deployment efficiency, but also encourages developers to innovate around the Starcoin ecosystem and inject continuous vitality into it.

4. StarStack Framework: Injecting vitality into the Move ecosystem

StarStack is a one-click intelligent deployment solution based on Move language that focuses on high-performance and customizable Layer 1 blockchain. Developers can use StarStack to develop blockchain. StarStack is an open source code base with modularity as its core, which is used to build customized Layer 1. Developers can use this code base to start the Move virtual machine and run their own blockchain.

Efficient setup flow: StarStack’s setup process is simple and efficient, simplifying complex steps through modular plug-ins, allowing teams to deploy blockchains faster.
Modular architecture: StarStack’s modular design supports flexible customization of governance, consensus models, and economic frameworks to meet a variety of project needs while maintaining simplicity of operation.
Multiple consensus support: Supporting multiple consensus mechanisms such as PoW and PoS, StarStack enables developers to customize the blockchain according to specific operational and security requirements.
Move language integration: Integrate the secure Move language to provide efficient and reliable functions for smart contracts, enhance the security of StarStack, and meet enterprise-level needs.

Summarize

The comprehensive upgrade of Starcoin 2.0 not only enhances the competitiveness of the public chain itself, but also injects new possibilities into the blockchain industry. From performance optimization to ecological compatibility to developer friendliness, Starcoin has demonstrated its determination and strength to build a long-term ecosystem. As more applications and users join, Starcoin 2.0 is expected to become an important force in promoting the further explosion of the blockchain ecosystem.
