Overview

The Starknet Foundation was established to support the development of Starknet, a state-of-the-art layer 2 blockchain network built on top of Ethereum. Our mission is to unlock Ethereum’s scalability and efficiency, making decentralized applications more accessible and effective. The Growth team plays a pivotal role in this mission by driving initiatives – from conception to conclusion – that aim to advance the innovation and success of partners in our ecosystem.
