We’re excited to announce that we’ve now officially launched our integration with Starknet to provide a seamless, Layer 2 experience, unlocking a new era of Bitcoin DeFi. 

We've been working tirelessly for months to bring Starknet to your Xverse wallet. This integration allows us to offer you seamless access to Starknet's evolving L2 ecosystem. 

New Possibilities in Your Xverse Wallet

You’re already used to Xverse being your gateway to Bitcoin Web3 and BTCFi, and we’re continuing in that direction. 

Now, you can:

  • Create a new Starknet account from within your wallet.
  • Swap tokens from Bitcoin to Starknet (and vice versa) from within the app.
  • Keep track of and manage all your Starknet tokens in one place.

That means your access to the Starknet ecosystem is simple, easy, and just a click away. 

Starknet & Xverse: Pioneering the Changes We Want to See

Xverse and Starknet are both benefiting from this partnership as it means a step towards the improvements and innovations we want to see in the Bitcoin space.

The Starknet integration represents the perfect way to experience user-friendly Bitcoin DeFi even before the potential OP_CAT activation

The partnership also means that new possibilities in BitcoinFi are coming faster and sooner than expected: new use cases, avenues, and increased scalability, supercharged by zero-knowledge technology.

For BitcoinFi: Ahead Towards a Trustless BTCFi

BitcoinFi needs to be accessible to everyone, and Starknet is poised to bridge current accessibility issues. 

Right now, bridging Starknet to Bitcoin uses a multisig model governed by a federation of co-signers; with OP_CAT, there will be no need for these signers either, which will mean a fully trustless Bitcoin DeFi experience.

For existing Xverse users, this means being at the forefront of innovation. As always, we’re deeply committed to bringing you new opportunities and supporting projects we believe will redefine the way this space works.

“Our integration with Starknet marks a major step toward realizing a trustless, scalable future for Bitcoin DeFi. At Xverse, we believe Bitcoin should do more than just sit in cold storage; it should work for you. Starknet unlocks that potential, and we’re proud to bring that experience directly to our users,” says Ken Liao, CEO of Xverse. 

Stark Exploring New Possibilities Now

Now, you can use Xverse to swap BTC for STRK to seamlessly move between the Bitcoin and Starknet ecosystems. You can also bridge your Runes from Bitcoin to Starknet to use the recently released USDC on Bitcoin, for example.  

Create your Starknet account and explore everything the Starknet Bitcoin DeFi ecosystem has to offer, all from your Xverse wallet.
