Ethereum layer-2 scaling platform Starknet has actually reached a decentralization turning point set out by Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin and is now the biggest zero-knowledge rollup-based network by overall worth locked.
Starknet stated in a news release shown Cointelegraph that it has actually struck “Phase 1” decentralization, according to a structure Buterin set out in 2022, which implies the network runs with restricted oversight or “training wheels.”
Starknet included that the structure was the “gold requirement onchain tool for examining Ethereum scaling options,” and stated it accomplished the turning point through modifications such as producing a security council and censorship-avoidance systems.
While the system still enables intervention from a security council, it has actually carried out a completely practical credibility evidence system governed by clever agreements.
Starknet is now the only layer-2 ZK-rollup network to have actually reached Phase 1 and has actually grown to be the biggest ZK-rollup blockchain with an overall worth locked of $629 million, simply ahead of ZKsync’s $610 million, according to L2beat.
Starknet is the fifth-largest layer-2 network by worth locked, with the leading 4 all Positive rollup-based and all reached Phase 1 decentralization utilizing scams evidence.
Scams evidence presume deals are void till tested legitimate, while credibility evidence presume deals stand just if shown legitimate with cryptographic proof.
” Our objective is for the training wheels to come off entirely and to reach Phase 2 decentralization on Ethereum, and concurrently steam forward with our deal with Bitcoin too,” stated Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, the designer behind Starknet.
” Phase 2″ decentralization is the point where the network will be totally self-governing and community-governed. Just 3 little layer-2 scaling platforms have actually reached this phase, according to L2beat.

Buterin presented the idea of “training wheels” or 3 phases for Ethereum scaling rollup jobs at different stages of advancement in 2022.
Base leads layer-2 environment
The Coinbase layer-2 network Base is the leader of the sector in regards to worth locked, with $14.7 billion, offering it a market share of 33%. Relatively, Starknet has a market share of 1.4%.
The overall worth protected onchain in the layer-2 environment is $44.2 billion. The figure has actually leapt just recently as the worth of Ether (ETH) has actually gotten, however is down 20% up until now this year.
