Blockchain technology is developing rapidly, and many developers and teams are looking for more efficient, flexible and highly customizable blockchain development tools. StarStack, as a development framework based on the Move language, is such a development tool. Compared with general blockchain development platforms (such as Avalanche, Optimism and Cosmos), it provides many unique supports, making it a better tool for developers.

The following will analyze why StarStack performs better in blockchain development tools from several key dimensions.

Performance and scalability

For most blockchains, performance and scalability are one of the biggest pain points. An obvious example is that Ethereum is limited by scalability, causing a large number of its ecological applications and users to lose to Solana, and in the past year, the number of active network addresses has been surpassed by multiple public chains.

In terms of performance and scalability, the StarStack framework has its unique advantages. It integrates the excellent network performance of Starcoin. At the same time, because the design of Move is more flexible, developers can optimize the performance for specific application scenarios, further improve the TPS performance of the public chain, and the transaction volume per second TPS can reach 130,000, far ahead of other platforms.

The theoretical maximum TPS of Optimism is 714 tx/s, and the maximum TPS recorded is 67.41 tx/s. It can be seen that although it is an expansion solution for Ethereum, it is still limited by the scalability of Ethereum. At the same time, in terms of gas fees, although it has been greatly reduced compared to Ethereum, Optimism sends ETH gas for $0.09 and the gas for transactions is $0.18.

The theoretical maximum TPS of Avlanche is only 357 tx/s. It can be seen that StarStack is leading by a large margin in terms of performance and network scalability.

High-performance support based on Move language

StarStack is developed based on the Move language, which means it can provide higher security and execution efficiency. Move is a programming language designed specifically for blockchains. It has a strict type system and resource management, which can effectively avoid common smart contract vulnerabilities and improve the reliability and security of smart contracts.

StarStack’s underlying framework and smart contracts are written in Move language, and the virtual machine also uses Move. Object-oriented and asset-based programming makes resources highly transparent in modules, while external calls to modules are completely opaque. Move language is also known as the safest and most flexible smart contract language, which also provides more space for its one-click chain launch solution when customizing Layer1.

Development experience: StarStack’s flexibility

StarStack provides extremely high development flexibility. Its toolset based on Move language enables developers to build and customize blockchain applications more concisely and flexibly. Compared with Cosmos, StarStack is easier to get started, and through simple configuration, developers can quickly implement the desired functions.

StarStack’s modular design is not complicated, and it provides complete documentation and tutorials, allowing developers to develop and deploy blockchain applications in a short time. Compared with Avalanche and Optimism, StarStack also performs well in developer support and ease of use, and is especially suitable for teams that want to quickly launch blockchain applications.

Ecosystem support and interoperability

StarStack provides strong cross-chain support through seamless integration with mainstream Move ecosystems such as Starcoin and Aptos. Ecosystem applications can be directly migrated without changing the code, and can truly switch with one click. At the same time, its compatibility is not limited to a certain platform, but can interact smoothly between different ecosystems, enhancing the interoperability of blockchains. With the continuous development of the Move ecosystem, more Move public chains and ecological applications will be added. StarStack will play the role of a basic framework and connect more applications.

Summary

Through analysis, it can be seen that StarStack has demonstrated its unique advantages in the field of blockchain development. Based on the high-performance support, security assurance, flexible development experience, decentralized governance and strong ecological interoperability of the Move language, StarStack has become an ideal choice for developers to build public chains and blockchain applications. For teams seeking more efficient, flexible and secure blockchain development tools, StarStack is undoubtedly a framework worth considering first.
