🔒 +200 more builders are mapped in Starknet. See which ones you're missing.
Who are the top builders in the Starknet ecosystem?
We rank 215 builders mapped in Starknet by recent VC attention (smart-money follows and convergence) combined with active building signals — GitHub shipping, hackathon results, and on-chain activity.
How is "rising" determined?
Rising is led by social heat — decayed VC-follow and convergence signals from the last ~14 days — with a floor that each builder must show at least one real building signal. So the board surfaces builders smart money is converging on, not just well-followed accounts.
How do I find builders I'm not already tracking?
Run a free Net-New Scan: upload your contacts and we diff them against the Starknet map to show only the builders you're missing, with a couple of names you already know as a quality reference.
How this is computed: builders are sourced from GitHub building activity, hackathon results, on-chain deploys, and Frontrun VC follow data, then ranked by recent smart-money attention with a building-activity floor. Net-new is computed against your own contacts in the scan. Maintained by Denarii Labs.
