Description
In this campaign, we will explore some of the fundamental core concepts of Starknet. Starknet is a permissionless Layer 2 scaling solution that aims to solve Ethereum’s scalability challenges. It leverages the power of ZK-rollups to bundle hundreds of transactions into a single proof, significantly reducing transaction fees and processing times.
The technology, known as STARKs (Scalable Transparent ARguments of Knowledge), enables Starknet to validate transactions off-chain without compromising security or transparency. Starknet is designed to address the three fundamental challenges of blockchain technology, known as the Blockchain Trilema: Decentralization, Scalability, and Security. Learning about Starknet can help you understand how to build decentralized applications or dapps on it, which can be a valuable skill in the blockchain industry.
Learning Outcomes
On completing this campaign, you will be able to:
- Describe Starknet and its features
- Set up a development environment
- Declare and deploy a smart contract on the testnet
