Validity

StarkWare says its plan to expand its scaling technology to the Bitcoin network won’t result in forking Starknet or making a new token. 
<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/starkware/" target="_blank" rel="">StarkWare</a>, the developer behind <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/starknet/" target="_blank" rel="">Starknet</a>, clarified that its primary focus remains on scaling <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ethereum/" target="_blank" rel="">Ethereum</a> through the use of validity rollups and <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/zk-rollups/" target="_blank" rel="">ZK proofs</a> even despite its efforts to bring scalability solutions to the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/bitcoin/" target="_blank" rel="">Bitcoin</a> ecosystem.

 We know that you are as excited as we are to see what Starknet over Bitcoin means! So, let's clarify things 🦸 Starknet will continue focusing on scaling Ethereum like we've done since launching its first Validity Rollup. We will notably continue our work in the ZK field as… <a href="https://t.co/lBG07gKy17" target="_blank" rel="">pic.twitter.com/lBG07gKy17</a>— Starknet 🐺🐱 (@Starknet) <a href="https://twitter.com/Starknet/status/1799001829809991748?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank" rel="">June 7, 2024</a>

In <a href="https://x.com/Starknet/status/1799001829809991748" target="_blank" rel="">an X post</a> on Jun. 7, the blockchain developer valued at $8 billion highlighted its commitment to enhancing the efficiency of Ethereum scaling in 2024, saying the firm “will strive to scale Ethereum in the most efficient way possible.”

 “Our goal, consistent since the initiation of Starknet, is to develop STARK proofs to enhance the scalability and integrity of blockchains that we believe in.”

As a result, Starknet aims to serve both the Ethereum and Bitcoin communities without creating a new layer or exclusive token for Bitcoin. Instead, Starknet will act as an execution layer that simultaneously scales both Bitcoin and Ethereum. 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"> 
 “StarkWare won’t fork Starknet to create a new layer on Bitcoin or establish an exclusive token for the Bitcoin ecosystem. Instead, Starknet will (try to) act as an execution layer that scales both Bitcoin and Ethereum simultaneously. Its security, governance, and ecosystem will all be driven by the STRK token.”

StarkWare’s initiative to bring ZK scaling to Bitcoin comes as part of a broader strategy to address the scalability challenges faced by major blockchains. With the new expansion, the Starknet developer aims to leverage its technology from the Ethereum network to make a “single layer that settles on both Bitcoin and Ethereum.” 
The firm <a href="https://starkware.co/scaling-bitcoin-for-mass-use/" target="_blank" rel="">anticipates</a> completing the development of the solution within six months following the potential Bitcoin upgrade known as <a href="https://crypto.news/op_cats-bip-420-proposes-to-revive-bitcoin-covenants/" target="_blank" rel="">OP_CAT</a>, which seeks to integrate smart contracts into the Bitcoin ecosystem.
