Ethereum is secure and decentralized—but it is also expensive and slow during busy times. Every action on Ethereum costs gas, which can add up quickly, especially for smart contract wallets like Argent.
That’s where Layer 2 comes in.
What is Starknet?
Starknet is a Layer 2 network built on top of Ethereum. It gives you the same security as Ethereum, but with lower fees and faster transactions.
Unlike some Layer 2s that offer limited features, Starknet is fully smart contract compatible. That means you still get all the powerful Ready Wallet features you expect:
- Guardian-based recovery
- Wallet 2FA
- Custom smart contract perks
- Onchain security and fraud prevention
And all of that comes with a fraction of the cost compared to using Ethereum directly.
