In Brief
The Starknet team has acknowledged the concerns that emerged following StarkWare’s latest statement about broadening Starknet’s focus to include scaling for Bitcoin.
The developers behind the Ethereum Layer 2 network known as Starknet took to social media to address growing concerns from users. Starknet Starknet’s recent communications focused on how they plan to include Bitcoin scaling alongside their objectives. StarkWare In a recent update, Starknet reiterated its commitment to enhancing Ethereum’s scalability, a mission they embarked on with the launch of their initial Validity Rollup. They also emphasized their continued work in the zero-knowledge (ZK) domain as a public good, aiming to optimize Ethereum’s scalability through their current development roadmap.
As they look ahead, Starknet aspires to serve as a linking layer that integrates both Ethereum and Bitcoin ecosystems, with a focus on providing execution capabilities that scale both networks concurrently. Importantly, StarkWare has confirmed there will be no forking of Starknet to create a separate layer for Bitcoin or to introduce a new token for its ecosystem. Instead, the existing STRK token will continue to underpin Starknet’s security and governance framework.
The project plans to position Starknet as the first network capable of processing transactions for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, potentially revolutionizing transaction throughput on the Bitcoin network to manage thousands of transactions every second. This ambitious implementation is intended to follow the Bitcoin community’s acceptance of the OP_CAT upgrade, which is currently in the proposal stage.
Earlier this week, StarkWare We understand the excitement surrounding what Starknet’s advancements for Bitcoin could imply! Bitcoin and Ethereum Starknet remains dedicated to scaling Ethereum, continuing the efforts we’ve pursued since we launched our initial Validity Rollup. We’re particularly eager to keep making strides in the ZK area as well.
The 2024 roadmap has been released, marking plans to enhance transaction throughput and lessen fees. A crucial upgrade is the introduction of parallel execution in version 0.13.2. This change will allow multiple transactions to be executed at once, contrasting with the current method where Starknet’s sequencer organizes and batches transactions sequentially before they are submitted to the Ethereum blockchain.
An integration of Cairo Native into the Starknet sequencer is tentatively planned for version 0.13.3 in the third quarter, in collaboration with blockchain research firm Nethermind. Additionally, version 0.14.0 is set for the fourth quarter, with the goal of further reducing fees on the Starknet platform.
