Validation Cloud Now Supports Starknet Staking as a Validator

Validation Cloud is proud to support Starknet as a validator. Starknet is a Validity-Rollup Layer 2 network operating on top of the Ethereum network. Staking on Starknet is now live, marking a step towards enhanced security and decentralization for the Starknet network. 

What is Starknet?

Starknet is a scaling technology that enables dApps to scale securely by using STARK technology to validate off-chain transactions. Starknet combines Ethereum’s security and decentralization with advanced math and cryptography to overcome Ethereum’s scalability limitations. 

Key Features of Starknet 

• Unlimited Scalability: Using the STARK cryptographic proof system, Starknet validates off-chain transactions, which allows computation scale while maintaining Ethereum's security and decentralization. 

• Superior User Experience: Starknet uses Native Account Abstraction, which means all accounts on Starknet are smart accounts. This allows developers to define their behavior rather than being constrained by protocol-level specifications. This creates more flexibility for applications, which enhances user experience and security.

• Empowering Developers Through Cairo: Cairo is Starknet's native smart contract language that enables developers to implement any business logic, opening up opportunities for better creativity and flexibility for developers.

What is Starknet Staking?

In an effort to improve decentralization, Starknet launched its permissionless on-chain staking protocol. Stakers are required to run full nodes and can lock up their STRK tokens in exchange for staking rewards. For users that do not want to run full nodes, they can delegate their stake to operators like Validation Cloud. Validation Cloud will handle all of the set up and maintenance, making it easier to stake. If you’re interested in learning more about how to participate in Starket Staking, contact us here.

Validation Cloud x Starknet

Validation Cloud is proud to be a validator supporting the mainnet launch of Staking on Starknet. As a validator, Validation Cloud runs a full node in order to maintain and secure the Starknet network by producing, attesting, and proving blocks. Validation Cloud is consistently ranked in the top 10 on Rated Network for validator performance and maintains the highest levels of security and protection. 

You can now delegate stake to Validation Cloud here. Delegators earn staking rewards and enhance the security of the Starknet network. Contact us to learn more about how you can participate in Starknet Staking.
