What's the difference between Starknet and zkSync?

Starknet: ZK-rollup Layer 2 using STARK proofs and the Cairo programming language. zkSync: Ethereum Layer 2 using zero-knowledge proofs for scalable and secure transactions. They differ on consensus, execution, developer ecosystem, and retail adoption. Sharpe's chain-tracker exposes the quantitative difference across TVL, performance, and activity metrics.

Which chain is better, Starknet or zkSync?

Depends on your thesis. Compare 7d/30d TVL change (where is DeFi capital going), native-token performance (market view on the base chain), and ecosystem performance with native-token excluded (dApp layer health). The chain winning on more dimensions is the stronger current bet. Rankings rotate as Sharpe refreshes aggregate tracker data every 30 minutes.

How do I track Starknet vs zkSync rotation?

Set up parallel watchlists on Sharpe's chain-tracker for both chains. Monitor TVL delta (DefiLlama via Sharpe), ecosystem aggregate performance, and social mindshare. A meaningful divergence across multiple dimensions signals active rotation. Confirm with funding-rate positioning on the two native tokens.

Are Starknet and zkSync correlated?

Most chain tokens correlate 0.7–0.9 with BTC during risk-on regimes. Chain-specific catalysts (upgrades, ETF flows, outages) decouple performance temporarily. Use Sharpe's Correlation Matrix with Starknet and zkSync native tokens to see the current rolling correlation.
