Anchorage Digital, home to the only federally chartered digital asset bank in the US, has announced its custody support for Starknet’s native token.
Starknet is a Layer 2 scaling solution for Ethereum that uses zero-knowledge rollups to process transactions off-chain and then submit proofs of those transactions to the Ethereum mainnet. Now, institutions can securely custody their Starknet tokens with Anchorage Digital. By offering this custody support, Anchorage Digital is furthering its mission to enable secure access to the latest in crypto innovation.
One-way bridging on Starknet will also be supported on Anchorage Digital, allowing clients to seamlessly bridge their Starknet Token (STRK) ERC-20 tokens to the blockchain’s native token, Starknet (STARKNET), via a bridging smart contract.
“Starknet's unique approach to scalability is paving the way for a new era of blockchain adoption. Anchorage Digital is excited to partner with Starknet to provide institutions with secure and compliant custody of its native token.”
—Nathan McCauley, CEO and Co-founder, Anchorage Digital
“Starknet is delighted to strengthen our collaboration with Anchorage Digital. Their support for Starknet custody and bridging, coupled with their deep understanding of institutional needs, is a testament to their commitment to innovation and belief in the future of blockchain technology. We are confident that this collaboration will not only drive greater institutional adoption of Layer 2 scaling solutions like Starknet, with its unique scalability and security features, but also unlock new opportunities for institutions to participate in the evolving world of decentralized finance.”
—James Strudwick, Executive Director, Starknet Foundation
Anchorage Digital is excited to be at the forefront of supporting the Starknet ecosystem, and we look forward to continuing our collaboration to foster new opportunities for institutions in the digital asset space.
