Starknet is an Ethereum Layer 2 protocol that utilizes cryptographic STARK proofs to enable verifiable computations at scale. Its Cairo virtual machine is specifically designed for provable program execution, which significantly decreases the overhead for generating proofs and enhances transaction processing speed. Despite these advantages, Starknet relies on its sequencer for transaction confirmation speed, and currently operates with a single sequencer while planning for future decentralization to improve resistance to censorship and network failures. Broader developer adoption and maintenance of ecosystem accessibility remain significant challenges for Starknet's growth.
Starknet leverages the Cairo programming language to enhance scalability and reduce costs, yet faces hurdles in developer adoption and achieving innovation alongside accessibility.
The Cairo VM allows Starknet to process numerous transactions while maintaining trustless verification, but the performance relies on how quickly its sequencer can confirm execution results.
