What is Starknet (STRK)? How Does It Work?

Starknet (STRK) operates based on a zero-knowledge protocol and works to enhance the scalability of Layer 2 blockchains. Connected to the Ethereum blockchain, Starknet is a decentralized blockchain. Developers can build their applications using smart contracts on it.

Starknet differs from other Layer 2 blockchains. Transactions on the blockchain are processed off-chain, and then these transactions are batched and added to the Ethereum network for confirmation. This allows Starknet to process thousands of transactions quickly and inexpensively. To ensure the security of off-chain data and to ensure that no changes are made, Starknet utilises a cryptographic encryption method named STARK (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge). STARK claims its encryption methods are resistant to quantum threats, anticipating that attacks from quantum processors may be an issue in the future.

Starknet (STRK) was developed by StarkWare.

STRK token is the native token for the Starknet blockchain. Transaction fees on Starknet can be paid in either ETH or STRK. STRK also serves as a governance token.
