ChainCatcher news, the Kakarot team of the Ethereum Layer 2 network recently announced that its testnet has successfully migrated to the Starknet Sepolia network. Developers need to redeploy smart contracts on the new testnet Kakarot Starknet Sepolia.Kakarot is a verifiable EVM built on a STARK-friendly ZK-VM based on Starkware, developed by KKRT Labs, aimed at accelerating the application of zero-knowledge proof technology in blockchain infrastructures like Ethereum through the "STARKification" of the EVM.

ChainCatcher news, the zkEVM network Kakarot based on Starknet and CairoVM has announced that its public testnet phase is now live, with no whitelist required. Users can claim testnet tokens through the faucet and join the network. Kakarot plans to launch a testnet community points system and deploy on Starknet Sepolia in late summer, making it the first dual VM ZK-Rollup (EVM and CairoVM).

ChainCatcher news, the zkEVM network Kakarot built on the Cairo language announced on social media that it has launched the Kakarot Sepolia testnet and has opened the public whitelist testnet phase.It is reported that this is the first testnet phase of Kakarot.

ChainCatcher news, OKX Ventures announced an investment in Kakarot. It is reported that Kakarot is a 2.5 class ZkEVM written in the Turing-complete programming language Cairo, currently launching its first test network, which will operate as L2 on Ethereum or L3 on StarkNet. After this initial phase, Kakarot plans to become a 1 class ZkEVM, enabling any L1 node to generate Stark Proofs. Additionally, Kakarot is currently exploring other ZKPs, account abstraction, and scaling solutions to promote the growth and resilience of the Web3 space.Dora, the founder of OKX Ventures, stated, "Kakarot is built on Starknet, using an innovative language development form, addressing the issue of Starknet's incompatibility with EVM, allowing the Ethereum ecosystem to thrive on Starknet."

ChainCatcher news, the zkEVM development platform Kakarot has completed its second round of financing, led by Stake Capital and LongHash, with participation from Eterna Capital, Fenbushi Capital, OKX Ventures, Foresight Ventures, SevenX Ventures, Builder Capital, Bixin Ventures, UOB Venture, NxGen, CMS Holdings, Aglaé Ventures, Signum Capital, and Moonrock Capital.Previously, the zkEVM development platform Kakarot completed its Pre-Seed round of financing on June 2, 2023, with participation from StarkWare, LambdaClass, and angel investors Vitalik, Nicolas Bacca, and Rand Hindi.Kakarot zkEVM is an EVM implemented in Cairo, utilizing STARK proofs to verify transactions and blocks, ensuring transparency and security. It is reported that the development of Kakarot zkEVM is divided into three phases: 1. existing as an EVM on Starknet L2; 2. collaborating with Starknet sequencer Madara to create the third layer zkEVM; 3. enabling Type 1 zkEVM through the combination of Kakarot and Madara.
