StarkEx chain
Overview
StarkEx is a validity rollup (ZK-rollup) scalability engine for Ethereum, developed by StarkWare. It batches transactions off-chain and submits a STARK proof on-chain for verification, enabling high throughput and low costs. StarkEx is used for applications such as trading, NFT minting, and gaming.
Within the DeFi Intel graph, StarkEx connects to 4 tracked entities, most strongly to StarkWare, dYdX v3, dYdX.

Frequently asked questions
What is StarkEx?
StarkEx is a validity rollup (ZK-rollup) scaling solution for Ethereum that uses STARK proofs to offload computation and storage off-chain while inheriting Ethereum's security.
What is the difference between StarkEx and StarkNet?
StarkEx is a permissioned, application-specific scaling engine, whereas StarkNet is a permissionless, general-purpose ZK-rollup that allows any developer to deploy smart contracts.
How does StarkEx achieve scalability?
StarkEx batches many transactions off-chain, generates a single STARK proof of their validity, and submits that proof to Ethereum, drastically reducing on-chain data and gas costs.
What is StarkEx connected to?
In the DeFi Intel knowledge graph, StarkEx is linked to 4 other tracked entities, most strongly to StarkWare, dYdX v3, dYdX.
