StarkNet

An Ethereum Layer 2 that uses STARK zero-knowledge proofs, which don't require a trusted setup.

Definition

An Ethereum Layer 2 that uses STARK zero-knowledge proofs, which don't require a trusted setup. StarkNet has its own programming language, Cairo, which makes it harder for Solidity devs to migrate but potentially more efficient for ZK computations. STRK is the native token.
