Starknet, a layer-2 above Ethereum, obtains its first chain of application that settles on the network.
The Layer-3 application chain, called Nums, is built from the “SN battery”, a customizable toolbox that allows developers to create Layer-3 blockchains based on Starknet technology.
Nums himself is a chain game that allows players to try to sequence a series of 20 numbers generated. Users will be able to win $ NUM tokens by playing the game, the tokens issued via Starknet.
Starkware, the main developer firm behind Starknet, originally shared in July 2023 that it built the SN battery. The announcement followed similar versions of several STARKware competitors, such as the Arbtirum orbitons stack and the OP OPTIMIMEM battery, which was released in 2023. Last January, the Starkware SN battery was launched.
Despite various layers of layer 2 already live and the games of layer 3 existing on these channels, the team behind Nums claims that their decision to build with Starknet technology is because it allows more “complex and more ambitious applications “Said Tarrence Van as the CEO of Cartridge, the main developer firm behind Nums, in an interview with Coindesk.
Starknet, who uses Cairo as a programming language, is “much easier to express these types of applications,” added Van. (Ethereum uses solidity, a different type of programming language, to create its applications. Most layer-2 also use solidity.)
Cartridge is one of the basic developer teams based on Starknet, known to publish its Dojo framework, a tool engine that allows developers to create games and applications on the network.
