StarkNet is a layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that utilizes zk-rollup technology. It was created by StarkWare Industries and allows decentralized apps (dApps) to run and scale infinitely while still benefiting from Ethereum's security. StarkNet uses a programming language called Cairo that enables developers to easily build and deploy dApps across industries.
Some key features of StarkNet are its ability to scale while retaining layer 1 security through off-chain computation and on-chain proof validation. It also enables interoperability between Ethereum projects and has a specialized trading version called StarkEx. StarkNet currently has a variety of projects across domains like DEXs (e.g. StarkSwap), lending protocols, infrastructure development, gaming/NFTs and more. With zk-rollup technology and developer support through Cairo, StarkNet represents a promising layer 2 scaling solution that can unlock infinite scaling for dApps on Ethereum. Show Less
