Starknet provides developers with really low fees. Another way to look at low fees is “more compute”. Create a Starknet-based protocol that uses significantly more gas than Ethereum applications to achieve something previously impossible on Ethereum.
There are two obvious ways to think about this problem:
1. Now that fees are cheap, will protocol participants be willing to pay fractions of a cent more to do the ‘housekeeping’ for a protocol:
1. Rebalance other users’ positions in your protocol
2. Reduce back-running arbitrage by solving for it onchain
3. Trigger abstract cron jobs with left over gas
2. Some problems have high-complexity classes that may now be executable on the chain at a reasonable price.
1. Some intractable problems have reasonable heuristic or stochastic solutions that may now be possible.
2. Large-scale Monte Carlo simulation may be possible (randomness is available from the Pragma oracle)
3. Problems in NP may be achievable for a small number of elements. For example:
1. Closing back-running arbitrage may be quite expensive to compute, but it may still be worth doing a naive strategy on-chain up to a certain level of gas consumption.
2. Traveling salesman for a tiny number of accounts may be possible.
Qualification Requirements
1. A working, on-chain, Starknet-based smart contract deployed on Sepolia that clearly uses an order of magnitude higher compute than current L1-based applications.
2. The increased compute must differentiate the protocol or be the protocol's sole reason for existence.
