> **Visual Note:** The image displays Starknet's DeFi dashboard showing a Total Value Locked (TVL) of $163.65m with a -0.43% decline over 24 hours, alongside key metrics including Stablecoins Mcap of $158.77m and RWA Active Mcap of $33.35m. This visual supports the post's critique of Starknet, highlighting the modest TVL figure (with 80% allegedly concentrated in a single perps app) that undermines the lofty $8 billion valuation achieved in their $282m fundraising round.

I like how simple the flow is:

> pick an asset, choose a price target, set a date.

BTC, ETH, ZEC and STRK are already supported, with more assets coming.

If the price touches your target before the date, you can profit from that move.

Built on"
