What is Starknet?
Starknet by Starkware is an Ethereum-based Layer 2 network, a permissionless decentralized Validity-Rollup (also known as a ZK-Rollup). Every address on StarkNet is a smart contract. Starknet is a young network, with multiple projects being built on it, including Argent X. You can read more on Starknet here.
What is Argent X?
Argent X is a browser extension for Chrome (Chromium) and Firefox browsers - a wallet that operates on StarkNet. Argent X was the first wallet on Starknet that is actively used by Starknet dapp developers.
It is a wallet that allows you to try Starknet, invest, exchange your Starknet assets, play games, interact with NFT projects and many more.
It also lets you explore the available projects as they are built and work on your own dapp, using a wallet with simple interface to transact.
You can find available dapps you can use with Argent on Starknet at Dappland.com.
How does Argent X work?
Argent X injects the Starknet API into every website’s javascript context, to allow Dapps to request transactions to be made from your wallet. You can review every transaction, approve and reject them just like with other Ethereum wallets.
Where to find Argent X extension?
Argent X is available as an extension in Chrome Web Store, Microsoft Edge and Firefox Addons.
