Starknet is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that leverages STARK (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge) cryptography to provide computational integrity and scalability. It functions as a validity rollup, validating transactions off-chain with advanced cryptographic proofs and then submitting succinct proofs on-chain. This approach enables Starknet to overcome Ethereum’s throughput limitations while preserving its security and decentralization. Developers benefit from a platform that supports complex decentralized applications (dApps) with near-unlimited scalability and low transaction costs.

A key feature of Starknet is its native support for account abstraction, allowing all accounts to be smart contract-based. This flexibility lets developers customize account behavior beyond protocol-level constraints, improving user experience and security. Starknet’s native smart contract language, Cairo, empowers developers to write highly expressive and efficient contracts tailored to their application logic. The ecosystem includes extensive developer resources, tutorials, and tooling to facilitate onboarding and innovation.

Starknet is also pioneering interoperability by becoming the first Layer 2 to settle on Bitcoin, enabling Bitcoin to serve as an execution layer and unlocking new DeFi and asset possibilities on Bitcoin through trust-minimized bridges and integrations. The ecosystem supports a wide range of applications including DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and DAO tooling. With a rapidly growing developer community and partnerships such as Lombard Protocol for Bitcoin staking, Starknet is positioned as a leading Layer 2 solution for scalable, secure, and flexible blockchain applications. Developers can get started quickly using the open-source SDKs, comprehensive documentation, and active community support.
