Starknet is a blockchain that pioneered the use of validity proofs to use Ethereum as its security layer while allowing for cheap transactions.
A key feature of Starknet is its unique programming language called Cairo that has a similar syntax to Rust but enables the creation of verifiable programs, a program whose execution can be mathematically proven without re-execution. This property allows for almost infinite scaling on the blockchain where even complex games can be executed fully on-chain while paying only a few cents per transaction.
Cairo and Starknet represent a new category of programming language and scaling solution that opens the door for a diverse range of on-chain and off-chain applications that includes DeFi, gaming and others.
