About StarkNet

StarkNet is a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup built on Ethereum, developed by StarkWare. It uses STARK (Scalable Transparent ARgument of Knowledge) cryptographic proofs to bundle thousands of transactions into a single proof verified on Ethereum mainnet, providing L1 security at a fraction of the cost. StarkNet supports general-purpose smart contracts written in Cairo, a Rust-inspired programming language optimized for STARK-provable computation. The network enables complex DeFi, gaming, and enterprise applications with Ethereum-grade security and dramatically reduced fees. STRK is the native token used for transaction fees, staking, and governance.

How to Swap STRK

Exchanging StarkNet (STRK) on SyntheticSwap is straightforward and requires no registration or identity verification. STRK is an ERC-20 token built on Ethereum, so you can use MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, or any other Ethereum-compatible wallet to send and receive it. Select STRK in the SyntheticSwap interface, choose your destination coin, enter a receiving address, and confirm the rate. Your swap processes automatically — the destination token arrives in your wallet once the Ethereum transaction is confirmed.

How to Store STRK

Store STRK in wallets supporting StarkNet: Argent X or Braavos (native StarkNet wallets), MetaMask with StarkNet snap, or hardware wallets like Ledger. STRK can also be held on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token.
