StarkWare solves the two most pressing problems of permissionless blockchains, scalability and privacy, using ZK-STARKs. STARK proofs are zero-knowledge, succinct, transparent and post-quantum secure. We develop:
StarkNet: a permissionless decentralized ZK-Rollup platform.
StarkEx: a STARK-based scalability application, currently deployed on Ethereum Mainnet. StarkEx deployments will be able to port to operate over StarkNet in due course.
StarkWare was founded by Eli Ben-Sasson, Alessandro Chiesa, Uri Kolodny, and Michael Riabzev. Eli was a professor of CS at Technion for many years. Together with Dr. Michael Riabzev, his former doctoral student, Eli co-invented STARKs. Eli is also a Founding Scientist of Zcash. Alessandro Chiesa is a professor of CS at UC Berkeley, and he too is a Founding Scientist of Zcash. Uri is a serial entrepreneur, who has co-founded several hi-tech companies.
StarkWare was founded with a mission to productize the ZK-STARK proof system and has recruited a strong team of mathematicians, engineers, product, marketing, and business people to bring this vision to the market.
