About Starcoin

Starcoin is a public chain using proof-of-work consensus with support for Move smart contracts, and the project states that it has been building around PoW consensus and Move contracts since 2020. The network uses FlexiDAG and TurboSTM to improve block generation speed and execution efficiency, with the token recorded as STC.

Ecosystem entries include Starswap for trading, staking and farming, the StarMask wallet, and node and mining documentation, plus tutorials, GitHub and a block explorer for developers. The project also mentions that STC is available on two centralized exchanges, and provides sections for Starcoin 2.0, the foundation, ecosystem partners, news and a blog, with Chinese and English language switching.

In August 2026 Starcoin released v1.13.21, an emergency consensus security version: starting at Main network block height 32,165,300 (expected August 21, 2026 at 23:46), every block must carry an Ed25519 block permit signed by a built-in authorized key, and nodes on older versions will be stranded on the old chain. v1.13.22 then fixed an issue where nodes syncing from older heights could not replay block 23,009,355. The official site shows about 35 million cumulative transactions.

Starcoin will maintain the PoW and Move stack, refine FlexiDAG, TurboSTM performance and the Proxima testnet, and extend the block permit mechanism to the Halley and Barnard test networks.
