Ethereum L2 Starknet aims to decentralize core components of its scaling network
Starknet has laid out its road map to begin decentralizing core components of its Ethereum layer 2 scaling network to defend against censorship and improve robustness. Ethereum layer 2 scaling network Starknet has outlined plans to improve the de central ization of three core components of its zero-knowledge proof rollup solution (ZK-rollup). Speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph, Starknet product manager and blockchain researcher Ilia Volokh outlined the firm's intent to address certain centralized elements of its protocol aimed at defending against censorship and making its system more robust. Starknet operates as a validity rollup using zero-knowledge proof technology to bundle transactions into rollups, with cryptographic proofs submitted to Ethereum to achieve security and finality for layer 2 transactions. According to Volokh, Starknet’s protocol remains dependent on StarkWare for creating L2 blocks, computing proofs and initiating layer 1 state updates to the Ethereum ...
