Starknet is a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup. It operates as an L2 network over Ethereum. It operates as a Layer 2 (L2) blockchain, enabling any dApp to achieve massive scale for its computation without compromising on Ethereum's compatibility and security.
ZK rollups consist of two main components-
Off-chain batching mechanism- It generates a cryptographic proof from a batch of transactions in compressed form that reduces the amount of data to be posted to the blockchain.
On-chain contract- It is deployed on Ethereum and controls the ZK-rollup’s operations.
Zero-knowledge proof is a method or process where one person (the prover) can prove to another party (the verifier) that something is true without revealing any information apart from the fact that this specific statement is true.
The first core component of Starknet is the Starknet Sequencer. Sequencers take on the pivotal role of overseeing the validation and execution of transactions and proposing blocks. Their primary function involves grouping transactions and processing them as a collective entity.
The Prover establishes the mathematical validity of the block's transactions by generating a STARK proof, thus ensuring its integrity. Blocks are organized into groups and processed concurrently.
Batching: Transactions are grouped in batches or blocks for efficiency. It reduces the number of on-chain transactions, diminishes congestion, and decreases transaction costs.
STRKUSD pared more than 40% from its high of $2.98 made after the launch. It hit a high of $2.98 and is currently trading around $2.02.
The bullish invalidation can happen if the pair closes below $1.65. On the lower side, the near-term support is $2. Any break below targets $1.65. Significant downtrend if it breaks $1.60.
The pair's near-term resistance is around $2.20. Any breach above confirms minor bullishness. A jump to $2.60/$3 is possible. A surge past $3 will take it to $5.
It is good to buy on dips around $1.65 with SL around $1 for TP of $3.
