Starknet Achieves ‘Stage 1’ Decentralization, Surpassing ZK-Rollups in Value Locked

Starknet has reached a significant milestone in its decentralized journey, surpassing leading zero-knowledge rollup (ZK-rollup) networks by total value locked. Following Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s framework outlining three stages of decentralization for layer-2 scaling solutions, Starknet has achieved ‘Stage 1’. This means the network operates with limited oversight and is transitioning towards a more autonomous state.
