Validity Rollup on-chain state mapping: exists. Starknet is an L2 that executes multiple transactions off-chain, verifies their integrity with STARK proof, and settles them on Ethereum. Function: Reduces L1 execution costs, increases L2 throughput, and economically provides a basis for lowering user fees and increasing application activity. 2. STARK Proof on-chain state mapping: exists.
Investment View
First, fee revenues must supplement the security budget over the long term. Initially, newly issued STRK rewards can encourage the participation of validators and delegators. However, if fee-based revenue does not grow sufficiently, the security budget relies on token dilution. Second, L1 cost reduction and proof cost reduction must maintain user fee advantage. Since the Starknet fee consists of L2 computation, L2 data, and L1 data costs, if the Ethereum L1 data cost or proof cost increases, user price competitiveness may weaken. Third, app demand must break away from dependence on subsidies. Grants, provisions, and rebates drive initial liquidity and...
Starknet is a general-purpose ZK Rollup developed by StarkWare, a Layer 2 network that combines off-chain execution and on-chain verification on Ethereum through STARK-based validation. The official document and L2BEAT classify Starknet as a “ZK Rollup” and a general-purpose rollup that uses Ethereum blobs as a data availability layer, and clearly presents a direction to cover Bitcoin liquidity and UX as of 2026. (L2BEAT) As of May 20, 2026, the maturity of Starknet is summarized as “Technological implementation has advanced rapidly, but economic independence and complete decentralization are in progress.”
Investment View
Rather than the negative meaning of artificially lowering the achievement rate, this is interpreted as a strategy to expand the addressable market of the ZK execution layer from Ethereum L2 to Bitcoin liquidity. The price range is not investment advice, but is a sensitivity range where changes in network indicators can be reflected in the token market evaluation. Conversely, if BTC staking, strkBTC, decentralized proving, and 10k+ sustained TPS roadmap lead to actual usage and profits, Starknet can be reevaluated as a “ZK-based Ethereum·Bitcoin execution/settlement layer” rather than a simple L2.
