Rollups and ZK-STARK technology are used by StarkNet, a scaling solution for the Ethereum blockchain, to increase scalability, lower transaction costs, and boost privacy. By moving computation and data off-chain, it promises to overcome the drawbacks of Ethereum’s mainnet, such as high gas costs and sluggish transaction speeds, while still preserving the network’s security and decentralization.
For secure and effective Ethereum scaling, StarkNet uses ZK rollup and Stark proofs to reach over 1,000,000 TPS. StarkNet incorporates account abstraction while providing improved security, privacy, and scalability.
Rollup technology enables off-chain transaction processing, while utilizing the Ethereum mainnet for security and finality. Rollups are Layer-2 solutions. The roll-up technique is used by StarkNet to achieve scalability by off-chaining the majority of processing workloads. In a rollup, a batch—a compacted representation of numerous transactions—rather than the entire mainnet’s transactions are published to the Ethereum mainnet.
Using an optimistic rollup strategy, StarkNet only submits proof of validity for transactions that are initially conducted off-chain. This proof, which is available to everyone on the mainnet, guarantees that the off-chain computations have been carried out appropriately. StarkNet considerably increases scalability and lowers gas costs by minimizing the on-chain footprint to only the proofs and crucial data.
Zero-knowledge scaleable transparent arguments of knowledge, or ZK-STARKs
A type of zero-knowledge proof system called a ZK-STARK enables one party to demonstrate to another that a claim is true without disclosing any underlying information or calculations. To guarantee the security and reliability of off-chain computations, StarkNet uses ZK-STARKs. These proofs act as cryptographic proofs that the off-chain computations are accurate and verifiable by anyone on the Ethereum mainnet.
By removing the requirement to perform computations on-chain while maintaining transparency and audibility, ZK-STARKs provide scalability benefits. The off-chain computations are combined with StarkNet, converted into a proof, and then sent to the Ethereum mainnet for validation.
Off-chain computations are also made to be cryptographically safe and tamper-proof through the usage of ZK-STARKs.
Additionally, StarkNet achieves better transaction speeds because the majority of the computational work is done off-chain. Users receive confirmations more quickly, resulting in a more responsive and effective user experience.
It will be intriguing to watch the prospective use cases gain popularity in the market given the advantages provided by StarkNet, such as privacy, scalability, security, and account abstraction.
With 68 projects now integrated into the mainnet and more than 100 projects still under development, StarkNet has enormous potential. Particularly, the Argent Wallet and JediSwap initiatives on StarkNet have begun attracting the interest of the market.
