Stack X vs Starknet - Which Is Better?

Stark x right now is catered towards very, very specific, highlyno ubiquitous cases. But for instance, if you want to build a gaming application on using stark technology, starkx doesn't deliver that. So we don't know yet what will be the end game with starkx versus starknet. My guess is that they will both have a very longadsuccessful life, even a starknet increases in size.

im if i'm thinking about launching an application to dayso i imagine developer, is it now strictly better to build on stark net? And does this make so of stack x obsolete, or what are the trads between the two? That's
Speaker 1
a really good questionon the long run, what will the difference be? Ah, so definitely, if you're a a a developer, ok? Stark x right now is catered towards very, very specific, highlyno ubiquitous cases, but still very restrictive. So it is very good for massive payment, massive trading, massive anft menting and trading. But for instance, if you want to build a gaming application on using stark technology, starkx doesn't deliver that. So if you want general purpose new applications, or you want to have something that is generative art, you know, something that envolves some some cryptociddy style thing, then definitely you can't do that on stark x. The more interesting question in the long run is, suppose you want basically the functionality of stark x to day. You could write it on stark net, or could a talk to starkwar and get to stark x instanc and the question is what will be the steady state, let's say, in two years, a we don't quite know where. A thought process on this is constantly evolving. And and ia, we we actually, inside our team, we we have, you know, some folks who came up with some very interesting, brilliant ideas and how they might live together in the future in ways that both starkx lives and starknet lives, and both of them thriving and a benefit from one another. Ah, but taking a very high level view, the big benefit of a stark x is that, because it focuses on very special use cases, it's very likely that some customer will want that and get a much higher scale and higher control. For instance, if you're visa and you want to use stark pay, which is part of stark you ant e payment processing, maybe you will want to use a starke system and not write te smart contracts over starknet. So we don't know yet what will be the end game with starkx versus starknet. My guess is that they will both have a very longadsuccessful life, even a starknet increases in size.
