About Starknet

Starknet has been designed to enhance Ethereum's capabilities while maintaining its core values of security and composability. It operates as a permissionless Validity-Rollup, also known as a zero-knowledge rollup (ZK rollup), which is a Layer 2 solution built to improve the scalability of the Ethereum network.

As an L2 blockchain, Starknet empowers developers and decentralized applications to perform large-scale computations at significantly reduced costs. This scalability is achieved without compromising Ethereum’s inherent strengths, such as its decentralized nature.

Starknet uses an advanced cryptographic system known as STARK proofs (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge). These proofs ensure transactions are both secure and verifiable, even when processed off-chain, which helps to maintain Ethereum’s high standards of trust and transparency.

A unique feature of Starknet is its use of Cairo, a purpose-built programming language designed to maximize efficiency and performance in the Starknet ecosystem. Cairo is used to write smart contracts, enabling developers to harness its full potential for creating innovative and high-performance applications.

With Starknet, the Ethereum ecosystem can achieve faster transaction speeds, lower costs, and improved scalability, making it a vital piece of the blockchain scalability puzzle included in Ethereum’s roadmap.

The launch for Starknet will happen in different phases, which are the following:

Phase 1:

  • Launch of permissionless staking and stake delegation.
  • Validators are required to run a full node in preparation for future phases.

Phase 2:

  • Validators will begin attesting to blocks, signing them when randomly selected.

Phase 3:

  • Validators will validate and vote on blocks sequenced by the sequencer, with consensus proofs submitted to L1.

Phase 4:

  • Validators will assume full responsibility for maintaining and securing the network by producing, attesting, and proving blocks.
