Background
The Starknet Builders’ Council was established on December 5th, 2022, as an integral component of the 1st Phase of Starknet Governance. It is an assembly of Starknet builders deeply committed to making well-informed technical decisions that will support and maintain Starknet and its ecosystem.
As of August 29th, 2023, the Builders Council has been entrusted with a voting power delegation amounting to 1.2 billion tokens. This delegation represents a substantial 23.3% of the total voting power within the first Phase of Governance. This allocation underscores the Council’s crucial role in shaping the future direction of the Starknet ecosystem.
