🔴 Starknet Unveils SN Stack for Appchain Development
Ethereum Layer 2 powerhouse Starknet takes a bold step towards modularity by introducing the SN Stack, a comprehensive software suite enabling developers to launch tailored appchains—independent blockchains optimized for specific applications.
What’s Inside the SN Stack?
The SN Stack comes loaded with powerful components:
Starknet OS: Handles blockchain operations.
CairoVM: Executes smart contracts efficiently.
Cryptographic Provers & Verifiers: Ensures robust ZK-STARK cryptography.
Three Variants to Suit Every Need
1️⃣ Madara: A flexible, open-source modular framework.
2️⃣ Dojo: Designed for gaming and advanced on-chain apps.
3️⃣ StarkWare Sequencer: High-performance infrastructure for demanding dapps.
Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, emphasized the importance of this release:
"Projects can now build appchains using gold-standard ZK-STARK cryptography with the ease and cost-efficiency previously seen only in optimistic rollups."
Paradex Leads the Way
Paradex, an appchain built on Starknet, has been a design partner for SN Stack, showcasing its potential.
A Record Year for Ethereum Layer 2s
In 2024, the Layer 2 ecosystem soared, with the number of rollups surpassing 100—a threefold increase from 2023. This surge is driven by the growing demand for scalability and advanced developer tools from platforms like Optimism, Arbitrum, ZKsync, Linea, and now Starknet.
The future of modular Layer 2 solutions is brighter than ever. 🚀
