       In November 2021, StarkWare released [Starknet Alpha](https://starkware.co/starknet/), and prior to that, [Cairo](https://www.cairo-lang.org/). The combination of a Validity Rollup that provides Ethereum-grade security, and a new non-EVM compatible language, was a challenge and a puzzle that opened a new world of opportunities. The earliest adopters of Cairo (developers like [Perama](https://twitter.com/eth_worm) and [Guiltygyoza](https://twitter.com/guiltygyoza)) started delving deeper into the language, creating guides and experimenting with physics and neural networks.

       Teams such as [Realms](https://twitter.com/LootRealms), [Influence](https://twitter.com/influenceth), and [Briq](https://twitter.com/briqNFT) were among the earliest projects to build on Starknet. They came from the Solidity world, where complex games were nearly impossible to build. Others, such as [Topology](https://twitter.com/topology_gg), came directly as they had heard of the limitations of Solidity. For all of them, though, their visions were finally possible with Starknet. Cairo, as a general computation programming language, lifted barriers that were created by the EVM. Teams got a taste of the flexibility it offered builders.

       Currently, after years of research and iteration, Starknet is one of the first L2s that can sustainably host onchain, high-TPS games. It is the platform where game developers can finally build their complex visions of worlds that operate on a permissionless basis and in a decentralized manner. Among active L2s, Starknet has attracted the largest number of game developers and teams.

       Not every action that the player takes must be onchain. For some games, where the user’s actions should not be public before the state of the game changes, an offchain proof of the user’s action could be generated on the client, with only the proof stating the action took place being submitted onchain. Beyond multiplayer games, this infrastructure holds promise for auctions and voting-system applications where you might want to obscure the user’s input data.
