Unlock the power of Ethereum with Validity Rollups aka ZK Rollups.
Scale transactions & computational power for DeFi, gaming, art, and more. The possibilities are endless! 🚀🌕
Check it out! 🤓
1/12 Validity rollups (VRs) are gaining attention as a scalability solution for the Ethereum network. They allow for a large number of transactions to be processed with a lower cost per transaction, as well as providing increased computational power for smart contracts.

Cryptography is a way to secure information using math.
Some cryptographic protocols, like those that deal with data availability and ZK-SNARKs, rely on something called a trusted setup.
A trusted setup is a process where a group of people create some data that is used every time a certain cryptographic protocol is run. This data is created using some secret information, and the people who create it have to keep that information a secret.

L2s (short for Layer 2 solutions) are an additional layer of technology that can be built on top of Ethereum, adding an extra dimension to its capabilities.
🫡 Computing Power
🫡 Account Abstraction
🫡 Trustless Bridging
🫡 Storage Proofs
Computing Power in Smart Contracts
1/ Have you ever thought about using a supercomputer's processing power inside your smart contract, without the need for oracles or game theory? StarkWare allows you to do just that, using math to make it all possible.

Ethereum just took a major leap forward: Exploring ZK-EVM On L3 StarkNet 🚀
Discover the fundamental concepts that even non-tech people can understand in this thread!
🔽🔽🔽
Generally, a ZK-EVM (Zero-Knowledge Ethereum Virtual Machine) is a variant of the EVM that uses zero-knowledge or validity proof technology to allow cryptographic proof of the execution of Ethereum-like transactions.

Greetings, fellow Planeswalkers! 🧙♂️
The mists of mystery and magic swirl around us.
Today, we shall delve into the realm of possibility and consider the intersection of Magic: The Gathering and the arcane art of StarkNet technology. 🔮
For those unfamiliar with the ancient and revered game of Magic: The Gathering (MTG), let us remind you that it is a collectible card game 🃏 in which players wield decks of enchanted cards, summoning creatures, and casting spells in epic battles of magic and strategy.

Ethereum had scaling issues.
We built L2s like StarkNet to solve these problems.
We then found out that some applications had extra requirements. So we built L3s.
What is L3?
L3 gives applications more control over fees and costs. On top of L2, L3 can provide hyper scalability and hide transactions from StarkWare, for example.
If we add L4 to L3, we can implement privacy.

StarkNet's StarkGate bridge is designed for high transaction volumes to enable greater scalability, without forcing developers and users to give up the security, liquidity, and network effect of Ethereum L1.
A spoonfedddooorrr on how to test the StarkGate bridge:
🧵🧵
request testnet L2 ETH, with your Argent X wallet.
StarkNet.js got 1,700 downloads in one week, a record!
Total: 16k.
The @shard_labs StarkNet Hardhat plugin got 468 downloads in one week, also a record!

Why gamers hate NFT games! 🕹️🎮🤛
...and what StarkNet is doing to change this:
Here's the thread
🧵👇👇
In the current gaming industry, big publishers own digital content and sell it to you, so that you are just renting it and you do not own it, so why do gamers hate blockchain games?
