Golden Finance reports that the Ethereum ZK-Rollup scaling solution Starknet has announced it has entered the 'Stage 1' decentralization phase. According to the framework proposed by Vitalik Buterin in 2022, this stage means that the network has established a security committee and a validity proof system, significantly reducing external interference. Starknet added that this framework is the 'gold standard on-chain tool for analyzing Ethereum scaling solutions' and stated that this stage has been achieved through transformative measures such as creating a security committee and avoiding censorship mechanisms. StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated that the next step will be to advance towards the 'Stage 2' complete decentralization goal, achieving a network fully governed by the community. According to L2beat, currently only three small Layer2 projects have reached this stage.
