Scalability and Integrity
Scale your application with lower transaction costs, backed by STARK proofs of correct execution.
Scaling with Starknet
Build ambitious applications on Starknet, with high throughput, low transaction costs and the freedom of a permissionless network.
General Purpose
Build in Cairo. Native account abstraction lets you design account features such as custom signing rules and recovery.
Composability
Build on what already works. Combine existing smart contracts to create new applications.

Underlying Technologies
Starknet’s underlying technologies have been battle-tested in production.
Cairo
Starknet Contracts and the Starknet OS itself are written in Cairo, our programming language for STARK-proving general computation. Cairo makes it easier and faster to develop, review and maintain code. Cairo has been in production on Ethereum Mainnet since June 2020.
Prover
Stwo proves Starknet transactions within SHARP, which combines proofs to reduce verification costs. Stone produces the final proof checked on Ethereum.
Verifier
STARK Verifiers have been deployed on Ethereum Mainnet since 2019. The Cairo Verifier, which can verify the proof of any Cairo program (including Starknet, and all StarkEx deployments), has been deployed on Mainnet since July 2020.

FAQs
Where can I follow Starknet’s decentralization?
The staking documentation explains current validator responsibilities and the path to decentralized block production.
Where can I see Starknet’s transactions?
There are several block explorers that provide this data. You can find them in this link.
Is Starknet EVM compatible?
Starknet is powered by Cairo and as such is not EVM compatible. The reason for choosing Cairo to power Starknet is the fact that Cairo was created to gain maximum efficiency for STARK-based scaling.
You can read more about the topic here.
I want to write my own contract on Starknet.
Where do I start?
Are there any available tool kits?
A good place to start is the Starknet Docs, which leads the developer step by step through Starknet development.
The Starknet Website page will provide you with tools and education created by the Starknet-Cairo community.
