While Starknet is not a blockchain and ultimately relies on Ethereum’s consensus for finality and security, it is transitioning to a decentralized Proof-of-Stake (PoS) model for its execution layer. This positions Starknet among the first major Layer 2 networks to introduce native staking as a core security mechanism. Staking decentralizes its sequencing and validation layer, while Ethereum continues to provide finality through on-chain STARK proof verification. In this PoS system, validators stake STRK to attest to blocks and progressively assume broader responsibilities in block production and validation. Delegators can participate by staking STRK through validators, contributing to network security without running infrastructure.
