Starknet takes Ethereum's scalability to the next level. As a permissionless, decentralized Layer 2 zk-rollup , it leverages STARK (Scalable Transparent ARgument of Knowledge) proofs and the Cairo Virtual Machine to handle complex calculations off-chain. If you're looking to build decentralized applications that are not only secure and scalable but also incredibly cost efficient, we're your ideal development partner.
Starknet
Starknet is a permissionless Layer 2 zk-rollup that scales Ethereum by executing transactions off-chain using its Cairo Virtual Machine. It batches these off-chain computations and generates a single, tiny STARK proof for each batch. This proof is then submitted to the Ethereum mainnet for on-chain verification, allowing Starknet to significantly boost transaction throughput and lower costs while inheriting Ethereum's robust security.
Starknet distinguishes itself through cutting edge cryptographic and architectural innovations, empowering developers and enterprises with a scalable, secure, and flexible platform. Its core strengths include.
Our foundational technology requires no trusted setup, offering transparent, scalable proofs that grow linearly with computational complexity. This theoretically supports unlimited transaction throughput, making Starknet future proof .
A Turing complete language optimized specifically for efficient STARK proof generation. Cairo enables developers to build complex logic and advanced decentralized applications with unprecedented efficiency.
Unlike many rollups tailored for specific domains, Starknet supports a wide range of use cases, from complex DeFi to massive multiplayer games, establishing itself as the most versatile Ethereum scaling solution.
Developed by StarkWare, a recognized leader in zero knowledge cryptography, we are continually advancing protocol efficiency, security, and usability, ensuring you build on a platform at the forefront of innovation.
