About Starknet
StarkNet is a permissionless decentralised Validity-Rollup (also known as a “ZK-Rollup”). It operates as an L2 network over Ethereum, enabling any dApp to achieve unlimited scale for its computation – without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security, thanks to StarkNet’s reliance on the safest and most scalable cryptographic proof system – STARK.

What is Starknet and How Does It Work?
Starknet (STRK) is a permissionless decentralised Validity-Rollup, also known as a ZK-Rollup, that operates as a layer 2 network on top of Ethereum. Developed by StarkWare, Starknet was designed to solve Ethereum’s scalability limitations by enabling applications to process transactions off the main chain while maintaining the security guarantees of the base layer.
The network uses STARK (Scalable, Transparent ARgument of Knowledge) cryptographic proofs to bundle multiple transactions together and submit validity proofs to Ethereum. This technology allows decentralised applications to achieve unlimited computational scale without compromising Ethereum’s composability and security, making it possible for complex applications to run efficiently at lower costs.
- ZK-Rollup technology – Uses STARK proofs for scalable computation
- Ethereum compatibility – Maintains full composability with Ethereum ecosystem
- Lower transaction costs – Reduces fees through efficient batching
- Cairo programming language – Purpose-built for provable computation
- Decentralised sequencing – Operates without centralised control
Why Buy Starknet?
Starknet appeals to users seeking access to Ethereum’s ecosystem with improved scalability and lower transaction costs. The network supports a growing range of decentralised applications, from DeFi protocols to NFT marketplaces, all benefiting from faster transaction processing. Holders of STRK tokens can participate in network governance decisions and benefit from the expanding ecosystem of applications built on the platform. As more developers adopt ZK-rollup technology for building scalable blockchain applications, Starknet’s utility continues to grow within the broader Ethereum infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, buying Starknet in Australia is legal. Digital Surge is registered with AUSTRAC, complying with Australian anti-money-laundering and counter-terrorism-financing requirements for cryptocurrency exchanges.
STRK tokens are used for paying transaction fees on the Starknet network and participating in governance decisions. You can also use STRK to interact with decentralised applications built on Starknet, including DeFi protocols, NFT platforms, and gaming applications.
Starknet reduces costs by bundling multiple transactions together and processing them off-chain, then submitting a single validity proof to Ethereum. This batching process significantly lowers the per-transaction cost while maintaining Ethereum’s security guarantees.
Starknet requires compatible wallets that support the network’s unique architecture. Popular options include ArgentX and Braavos, which are specifically designed for Starknet transactions and applications.
