Historical Management of Societal Roles: Traditionally, societal roles such as currency, property rights, and social status have been governed by centralized entities through protocols and registries, with their value dependent on widespread trust in their integrity.
Challenges of Centralization: Centralized management often faces issues like corruption, conflicts of interest, and exclusion (Eli Ben-Sasson, Bareli, Brandt, Volokh, 2023).
Bitcoin's Integrity Web: Bitcoin introduced a novel approach called an "integrity web," characterized by:
Public Protocol: It is governed by an openly described protocol.
Inclusive Peer-to-Peer Network: It operates over a broad and decentralized network.
Fair Value Distribution: It distributes value fairly to maintain societal consensus on its integrity.
Ethereum's Expansion: Ethereum built upon Bitcoin's concept by extending the integrity web to include any function definable by computer programming, beyond just monetary functions.
Scalability vs. Decentralization: Both Bitcoin and Ethereum struggle with balancing scalability and decentralization. They often prioritize inclusivity, allowing verification of the system's integrity by those with limited resources, which can affect their ability to meet global demand.
Blockchain Definition In the rapidly evolving technological landscape, defining "Blockchain" is complex, but Eli Ben-Sasson (2023) highlights three key properties:
- Public Protocol: Blockchain operates on an openly accessible protocol, fostering transparency and trust, which are vital for broader adoption.
- Open P2P Network: Rather than being centralized, blockchain functions over a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, enhancing resilience and reducing the risk of censorship or failure.
- Value Distribution: Blockchain incentivizes its participants by distributing value in a wide-ranging, equitable manner. This motivates operators to maintain the system’s integrity while promoting consensus.
While these properties encapsulate the essence of Blockchain, the definition may evolve as the technology matures.
Starknet Definition Starknet is a Layer-2 solution for Ethereum, designed to enhance transaction speed, reduce costs, and ensure security using zk-STARKs technology. It balances scalability and consensus through a framework of mathematical proofs, allowing anyone to validate its integrity. Starknet enables powerful operators to boost network capacity while ensuring universal accessibility to verification tools.
Starknet’s Mission Starknet aims to empower individuals to freely implement any social functions they desire, rooted in decentralization and inclusivity.
Starknet’s Values
- Lasting Broadness: Starknet avoids power centralization, ensuring broad participation in its governance and operations. Its protocol remains open, and inclusivity is central to its structure.
- Neutrality: Starknet remains neutral, agnostic to the societal functions it supports, and resistant to censorship.
- Individual Empowerment: Education and autonomy of users are prioritized, fostering informed participation in the ecosystem.
Key Features of Starknet
- Low Costs: Starknet transactions are cheaper than those on Ethereum, and upcoming updates like Volition and EIP 4844 will further reduce costs.
- Developer-Friendly: It allows easy dApp development through its native language, Cairo.
- Speed and Efficiency: Future releases aim to further improve transaction speed and reduce costs.
- CVM (Cairo Virtual Machine): Starknet operates its own VM (Cairo VM), which enables innovative decentralized applications beyond the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
Key innovations include Account Abstraction, Volition for regulating data availability, and Paymaster, which allows flexible transaction fee payments, including gasless transactions.
Cairo: The Language of Starknet Cairo, inspired by Rust, is the programming language for creating scalable and secure STARK-based smart contracts. Developers can start learning Cairo through resources like the Cairo Book and Starklings.
Starknet Governance Starknet’s governance is overseen by the Starknet Foundation, focusing on community-driven development and decision-making. Governance involves community voting on protocol upgrades, starting with testing on the Goerli Testnet and then moving to Mainnet after approval.
SNIP: Starknet Improvement Proposals SNIPs (Starknet Improvement Proposals) are formal blueprints for enhancing the Starknet protocol. They outline technical specifications and rationale for proposed changes. SNIPs provide transparency and are vital for technical discussions and decision-making within the Starknet community.
