Starknet: Ethereum's scalability solution
At Stakely, we continue to grow! We are excited to announce that we are now part of the validator set for Starknet, an innovative scalability solution that is transforming the Ethereum ecosystem. In this article, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about Starknet, its technology, and how you can participate in its network with us.
What is Starknet and how does it work?
At a time when congestion and gas fees are limiting Ethereum’s growth, Starknet offers an innovative solution. Designed by StarkWare Industries, this Layer 2 technology optimizes Ethereum's performance and efficiency, enabling fast, cost-effective, and secure transactions without compromising decentralization.
Starknet operates as a Layer 2 network on top of Ethereum, processing transactions off-chain to reduce congestion and minimize costs. Its ZK-Rollup technology (Zero-Knowledge Proofs) batches hundreds of transactions into a single package, which is then sent to Ethereum. This ensures that transactions are verifiable and secure while optimizing the use of resources on the main network.
What Makes This Solution Special? What sets Starknet apart is its groundbreaking Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge (STARK) technology. This system uses sequencers and provers to generate STARK proofs and record data on Ethereum through smart contracts. Additionally, it features Cairo, a programming language specifically designed to facilitate the development of applications on Starknet, enhancing developers' creativity in the blockchain ecosystem.
Key features of Starknet
- Cost optimization: Batches transactions off Ethereum, reducing fees and preventing congestion on the main network.
- Enhanced security: Uses zero-knowledge proofs to ensure private and protected transactions.
- Boosts interoperability: Fully compatible with Ethereum, allowing the use of smart contracts and dApps without additional adjustments.
Why is Starknet crucial for the future of Ethereum?
Despite its popularity, Ethereum faces significant challenges in scalability and costs. Starknet addresses these issues by providing an environment where dApps can operate more quickly and efficiently, fostering widespread adoption of Ethereum in DeFi and NFT sectors.
Furthermore, Starknet makes it easier for developers to create innovative applications by offering tools like Cairo, a programming language specifically designed to fully leverage the network's capabilities.
