Starknet is more than just a blockchain — it’s an entire ecosystem powered by industry giants.

From OpenZeppelin’s security standards to The Graph’s data indexing, Nethermind’s Cairo expertise, OnlyDust’s open-source contributions, and StarkWare’s tech stack, these partners form a robust support system that you can tap into for your project. Taken together, these partners and many others provide tangible, best-in-class tooling that empowers you to offer invisible crypto, seamless UX to your users.

Let’s take a closer look at the partner support that developers, founders, and entrepreneurs can expect to get when they build on Starknet.

Your Starknet journey is already paved

When you build on Starknet, you stand on the shoulders of giants. This enables you to move from idea to MVP to Mainnet with considerable resources and tooling to supercharge your vision.

StarkWare: The Bedrock

The cryptographic muscle behind Starknet, StarkWare ensures high scalability at minimal cost. StarkWare’s core technology is the foundation layer enabling your project to excel without any worry about the usual blockchain bottlenecks.

OpenZeppelin: Security at scale

OpenZeppelin is a crypto industry standard for secure smart contracts. The team delivers their Cairo expertise to the Starknet ecosystem with libraries and frameworks that enable you to build safely and securely, so you can focus on what matters — creating an amazing user experience.

The Graph: Data at your fingertips

By enabling seamless on-chain data access, The Graph cuts through all of the complexity so that your front-end can remain simple.

Nethermind: Cairo and Starknet masters

A highly skilled team in the Starknet ecosystem, Nethermind offers deep expertise in low-level performance optimizations. We encourage you to collaborate with them to push the boundaries of what’s technically possible on Cairo and Starknet.

OnlyDust: The open-source catalyst

OnlyDust is a champion in the Starknet ecosystem for community-driven development and tooling. Their open-source contributions keep the ecosystem agile, empowering you to focus on what really matters — rapid iteration and shipping new features.

Invisible crypto, seamless UX

While “invisible crypto” and “seamless UX” might seem like buzzwords — they hold real, tangible meaning in the Starknet ecosystem.

“Invisible crypto” means your users won’t ever have to wrestle with gas fees, wallet confusion, or opaque transaction processes. By hiding, or abstracting the complexities of blockchain away from the users, you can focus on spurring mainstream adoption and a frictionless on-ramping process.

Harness the collective to build your company

At Starknet, you won’t have to reinvent the wheel because you’re joining an ecosystem that is already battle-tested. This collective repository of developer knowledge fast-tracks your developer journey and product build, giving you more time to polish user experiences.

This collective intelligence also enables you to iterate rapidly. Ready-made libraries, data indexing solutions, and a proven scaling engine give you everything you need to push out MVPs and beta tests faster than ever.
