StarkNet, an Ethereum Layer 2 based on zero-knowledge (zk) proofs gained immense popularity this year, as it has the 4th largest developer growth in the ETH ecosystem this year, with over 1,000 new developers joining StarkNet this year. StarkNet is also among the top 10 chains with the largest growth in full-time developers. According to the Electric Capital report, the total number of developers on the ETH mainnet this year is 13,475, while the number of StarkNet (STRK) developers is 2,548. This indicates that StarkNet has a significant developer community and is attracting interest from developers. StarkNet's growth can be attributed to its focus on scalability and security. StarkNet uses zk-proofs to verify transactions off-chain, which reduces the load on the Ethereum mainnet and improves transaction speed and cost-effectiveness. As the demand for scalable and secure blockchain solutions continues to grow, StarkNet is well-positioned to benefit from this trend. The project has a strong team, a solid technology foundation, and a growing community of developers and users.
