:::note Decentralized Infrastructure Network (DIN)
Starknet is supported through the DIN service, meaning calls to the network are routed to a partner infrastructure provider.
:::
Starknet is a decentralized, permissionless and scalable Layer-2 network protocol developed by StarkWare for the Ethereum network. It leverages zk-STARKs technology for scalability and privacy, allowing developers to build and deploy smart contracts that can perform more computations than on Ethereum's base layer, while maintaining a high level of security and decentralization.
