StarkNet Developer Advocate

Description

StarkNet is a permissionless ZK-Rollup, powered by the STARK zero-knowledge proof protocol. It is a Layer-2 scaling solution that settles on Ethereum. StarkNet Alpha, supporting general computation and composability, has been on a public testnet since June 2021, and on Mainnet Ethereum since Nov 2021.

StarkWare has raised over $250M from Paradigm, Sequoia, the Ethereum Foundation, Vitalik Buterin, and other notable investors. Over the past year, its permissioned scaling solution, StarkEx, has scaled the platforms of dYdX, Sorare, Immutable, DeversiFi, and Celer. Both StarkNet and StarkEx are written in Cairo, a Turing-complete language for STARK-proving computational statements. Cairo was invented by StarkWare.
