What is Starknet?
Starknet (STRK) is a permissionless layer 2 network that runs on top of Ethereum. Built by StarkWare, it uses validity rollup technology, often called a ZK-rollup, to bundle many transactions together off the main chain and then post a single cryptographic proof back to Ethereum. This keeps the security of the base layer while lifting the speed and cost limits that Ethereum can hit on its own.
The proofs behind it are STARKs, short for Scalable Transparent ARgument of Knowledge, and applications on the network are written in a purpose-built language called Cairo. The result is that decentralised apps, from trading protocols to NFT marketplaces, can run at larger scale and lower cost than they would directly on Ethereum.
The STRK token is used to pay transaction fees on the network and to take part in governance decisions about how Starknet develops. As more projects build on the rollup, holders can interact with a widening set of applications across DeFi, NFTs and gaming.
Why STRK, why here
Why buy Starknet with Digital Surge
A few things make Digital Surge a natural home for Australians buying Starknet.
How your STRK is protected
Digital Surge is Australian-owned, has traded since 2017, and holds AUSTRAC registration.
The greater share of customer coins, STRK included, sits in offline cold storage, and two-factor authentication adds a second lock on your account.
A clear number before you buy
The live STRK price in AUD and the low fees on your order both show ahead of the confirm step, so nothing about the cost lands as a surprise.
Made for Australians
AUD deposits travel by PayID or bank transfer, every price sits in Australian dollars, and a support team based here can help when needed.
Buy local
Where to buy Starknet in Australia

An Australian team is on hand for a question, and your STRK sits in your Digital Surge wallet until you sell or move it.
FAQ
Buying Starknet: FAQs
What is the smallest amount of Starknet I can buy?
Small is fine on Digital Surge. There is no whole-STRK requirement and no need for a large AUD sum, so a modest amount gets you started, with the live minimum shown before you confirm the order.
How quickly can I buy STRK after signing up?
Usually minutes. After the quick ID check, a PayID deposit of AUD generally arrives in under a minute, and Starknet is ready to buy straight away at the on-screen rate.
Can I sell my Starknet back to AUD later?
Yes. Sell your STRK back to AUD on Digital Surge whenever you decide, then withdraw the Australian dollars to your linked bank account. There is no lock-in, so you hold for as long or as little as you want.
What is STRK used for on the Starknet network?
STRK has two main jobs. It pays the transaction fees when you use applications on the Starknet rollup, and it lets holders take part in governance votes that shape how the network is run. You can also use STRK across the DeFi, NFT and gaming apps built on Starknet.
How does Starknet lower Ethereum transaction costs?
Starknet groups many transactions together and processes them off the Ethereum main chain, then submits one validity proof back to Ethereum for the whole batch. Sharing the cost of that single proof across all the bundled transactions is what brings the per-transaction fee down while keeping Ethereum-level security.
