Summary

StarkWare is a blockchain infrastructure company pioneering STARK-based validity proofs for scaling Ethereum. They offer two main products: Starknet (a permissionless decentralized ZK-rollup) and StarkEx (a standalone validity-rollup SaaS), enabling scalable, secure, and privacy-preserving decentralized applications.

Key Points

  • Develops STARK (Scalable Transparent ARgument of Knowledge) proof systems for blockchain scalability and security
  • Starknet is a permissionless ZK-rollup allowing any developer to deploy smart contracts at unlimited scale
  • StarkEx is a SaaS validity-rollup supporting NFT trading, derivatives, AMMs, spot trading, and DeFi pooling
  • Platform shows significant adoption: $585M TVL, 49K daily active users, 280M cumulative transactions
  • Uses Cairo, a custom programming language designed for STARK-based computation
