Blast offers complete support for Starknet, a layer-2 solution powered by STARK proofs, allowing devs to scale with no security compromises.
Starknet is a Layer 2 (L2) network based on the Validity-Rollup (or ZK-Rollup) model, functioning atop Ethereum to allow dApps to scale extensively without sacrificing security. It bundles transactions into a STARK proof computed off-chain, then submits this proof to Ethereum as a single transaction. This method enhances throughput, speeds up processing, and reduces costs while maintaining Ethereum's strong security. Blockchains typically aim for three key features: security, decentralization, and scalability. However, a well-known dilemma in blockchain technology is the difficulty in achieving all three simultaneously, often leading to a compromise on one aspect. Ethereum focuses more on security and decentralization, which affects its scalability. As the Ethereum user base grows, it faces slower transactions and higher gas prices, limiting its broader adoption.
The Starknet Validity Rollup offers a solution for Ethereum's scalability challenges without compromising its security and decentralization. Starknet amplifies scalability by processing transactions off the Ethereum Mainnet (off-chain) while keeping a transaction summary on-chain. Transactions are batched into blocks, processed off-chain, and then condensed into a single on-chain transaction. Ensuring the integrity of these off-chain transactions is crucial, which Starknet achieves through STARK (Scalable, Transparent ARgument of Knowledge) proofs for verifiable computation. Starknet then sends only the necessary block information and proof to Ethereum for efficient verification.

Increased Public API Throughput
Starknet builders can benefit from up to 100 requests/second on the Blast public Starknet API, and up to 10000 requests/second on the paid plans.
Included with all plans
Debug API
The Debug API gives OP developers access to several non-standard RPC methods, which will allow them to inspect, debug and set certain debugging flags during runtime.
Included with Developer, Startup, Enterprise & Pay As You Go plans
Builder API
The Builder APIs are a suite of powerful API endpoints providing access to more comprehensive and better structured blockchain data on the Starknet blockchain. You can start using the Builder APIs with the Free plan.
Included with all plans
Archive Nodes
These nodes retain all historical transaction information on the Starknet blockchain from the genesis block to the present, enabling users to query and retrieve any past information.
Included with Developer, Startup, Enterprise & Pay As You Go plans
What is Starknet?
Starknet is a validity rollup, commonly known as a zk-rollup, that functions on the Ethereum network, developed by Starkware Industries.
Can I use Blast to add a Starknet API in MetaMask?
Yes, you can add both a public or a dedicated API for Starknet by simply clicking “Add to Metamask“ on the chain page.
How can I use Blast to upload my project on Starknet?
You can use Blast to connect to Starknet by simply copy-pasting a line of code. Start for free and scale your subscription according to the resources you need.
Where can I find resources to start building on Starknet?
Getting started with developing on Starknet by using Blast APIs is straightforward. You can follow the instructions in our documentation.
Why should I build on Starknet using Blast?
To further enhance our collaboration with Starkware Industries, we have extended support for Starknet in Blast API by enhancing the development experience.

In a nutshell: It was a BLAST from start to finish! Braavos, one of the largest wallets on Starknet, and Blast’s client, experienced a surge in traffic starting immediately after the Starknet Provisions Event announcement on February 14th, 2024. As a Starknet infrastructure partner, we sprung into action. We formed a war room, and a […]
