Less then 2 month ago Starknet went through the huge upgrade — Cairo upgrade v.0.12 and was quickly dubbed as ‘the Starknet Quantum Leap’. Why does this event have a great importance for the development of the entire ecosystem, and especially for users of the network (that is, for us)?

Core principles behind Starknet Quantum Leap

Long long time ago (well, I am sure we all remember this time), Starknet has been processing less than 2 transactions per second (TPS). Patience was always a virtue when ti comes to Starknet. That was even slower than the Ethereum mainnet and many other Layer 1 blockchains.

Starknet’s Cairo Upgrade ultimately increased transaction throughput by 20x! The peak transaction per second (TPS) reached after the first phase of the Starknet Quantum Leap upgrade was 54 TPS! And it’s all to do with the sequencer, the entry-point to the network’s validation engine.

By upgrading the sequencer, Starknet has removed a major bottleneck at the heart of its back-end and ensured users’ transactions get batched, proven and finalized more quickly.

And what impact does this upgrade have for Starknet users? Starknet’s Cairo Upgrade will allow you to make trades, enter and exit yield positions more quickly, so can after making any trade you can almost instantly make another — this means that the efficiency of trade becomes many times greater. And what about NFT sector — minting and trading NFTs quickly is incredibly important. And I think this upgrade was the most expected for the web3 gamers — the game process now became much more fast and exciting!

Starknet ProScore concept

The main concept of the Pro-Score is tracking Starknet users’ activity. It is based on 3 main criteria:

• protocols interaction

• total transactions

• transactions over time

To be honest, that is really one of the best features I saw in web3, and now I will explain why. First of all, if I want to see my online activityt, there is no point in turning to third-party trackers! There are hundreds of websites, that suggest us to track our activity in different chains, but we are never sure about it’s security and accuracy. Then, using Starknet Pro-Score I can easily see which dapps I have interracted with, and how many transactions I have made in each dapp. And the last but not the least, on this same page I can follow the link to any app I need! Еhis reduces the risk of being scammed almost to zero! So, Pro-Score allows you to track youe on-chain activity in very easy, fast and secure way!

Begin you journey with Pro-Score + Quantum Leap

First of all, you need to download and setup your Braavos wallet. Then, click on dApps in the right lowe rcorner, and then click on the two arrows in the upper left corner to go to full screen mode.

Take a look at your Starknet Pro-Score number in percentages, and now we will talk about how to improve it with the Quantum Leap upgrade.

First of all, you can use StarkGate to deposit some eth to your Braavos wallet. Then, we remember that making trades now is much faster, so we can choose dApps that allow us to make different trades — like DEXs, for example **mySwap. **By making certain amount of swaps and adding liquidity to pools you can instantly improve your transactions level and so as Pro-Score number.

After that, we have mentioned about NFT trading while talking about Quantum Leap. You should totally try **Flex — **an NFT markeplace on Starknet. With Quantum Leap you can be sure that your transaction will not stuck for a long!

Then, you can try gaming area — Realms or the **Ninth. **Some of them can be quite addictive, so don’t forget to track your wallet balance :)

After doing this steps, come back after some days and try another dApps — so you can upgrade your Pro-Score by interracting with higher number of applications.

I have no doubts that after trying Pro-Score after Quantum Leap upgrade you will interact with Starknet very often, but remember, that extremely important for your Pro-Score is to have an activity every month.

In conclusion, providing Quantum Leap upgrade has offered more fast, more stable and convenient chain work, thus providing users with the possibility of easier and comfortable conditions to improve their StarkNet Pro-Score!
