What is a Starknet node?

In this case, a network node is a computer or server that participates in the blockchain network through a specific software client, helping to validate transactions and maintain the blockchain.

How to run a Starknet node?

To run this type of node, you need to download and install the client software, configure it with the necessary settings, and ensure that your computer or server has sufficient resources and a stable internet connection.

What is a Starknet full node?

A full node is a type of node that stores and maintains a complete copy of the blockchain, allowing it to independently verify all transactions and blocks.

What is Starknet RPC?

For the Cairo-based blockchain in question, RPC (remote procedure call) is a communication protocol that allows external programs or applications to interact with a node, enabling them to send commands and receive information from the node.

How does Starknet API work?

Blockchain API (application programming interface) provides a set of functions and tools that developers can use to integrate its functionality into their own applications or services, allowing them to access blockchain data, submit transactions, and perform other operations programmatically.

Starknet RPC: Why should you choose it?

Starknet is a permissionless decentralized Layer-Two protocol on the top of Ethereum blockchain. Introduced by StarkWare Industries, an Israel-based blockchain firm, the protocol launched fully in February 2022. Its core native token STRK was deployed in November, 2022.

The platform supports Starknet Appchains, a subclass of isolated networks designed for DeFis, NFT marketplaces and other Web3 products that require scalable, powerful and low-cost distributed computations.
In November, 2023, the blockchain announced the transition towards ultimate decentralization: its team will remove the centralization boundaries from StarkWare, a key technology for the protocol.
At the same time, STARKs are defined as Validity proofs, meaning they prove computational integrity. With Validity proofs, one party can prove to another that a certain computation was performed correctly.
The L2 blockchain leverages zk-STARKs or “zero-knowledge scalable transparent argument of knowledge” proposed by its inventor Eli Ben-Sasson, a renowned cryptographist and an author of Cairo programming language.
