Starknet on Bitcoin and Ethereum: The first L2 to unify both chains
Starknet is embarking on a journey to lift both of those limitations and unleash Bitcoin’s full potential, all while preserving its core principles. Developed in part by the inventors of STARK proofs, Starknet will become the first Layer 2 to settle on both Bitcoin and Ethereum, unifying the world’s largest blockchains on a single layer. The goal is to serve 1 billion Bitcoin users, introducing improved UX, scale, and liquidity—all without compromising on security or decentralization.
