STARK @ Home 25: Warp Away! From Solidity to Cairo
Warp the way to StarkNet

STARK @ Home 24: Fireside chat with Professor Dan Boneh
From Elliptic Curves to ZK-SNARKs and Beyond

STARK @ Home 23: In Mathematics We Trust
The Cairo programming language and STARK technology provide an efficient means of recording computational results on blockchain. But how can we be sure that the results mean what we think they mean? This episode is dedicated to answer this question

STARK @ Home 21: StarkNet Planets – The Game is On!
Team StarkWare talks with developers about the capabilities of StarkNet and how to start using it, in this episode of our [email protected] series.

STARK @ Home 20: A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words, Its Essence is Checked in Three
Prof. Madhu Sudan discussing data digitization and how to protect and ensure the data we store is error proof.

STARK @ Home 19: Computational Integrity
Computational Integrity - why is it important and how do we guarantee it?

STARK @ Home 18: T+epsilon – Capital Efficiency on L2-DeFi
Moving DeFi to layer 2 (L2) - with Andre Cronje and Louis Guthmann

STARK @ Home 17: The Value of Errors in Proofs
Prof. Avi Wigderson discussing the highlights along the journey that started with the invention of Interactive Proofs.

[email protected] 16: Recursive STARKs
Recursion in proof systems, as applied to recursive STARKs.

STARK @ Home 15: Shrinking Proofs via Cryptographic Sampling
The intuition, security, and math behind the transformation of interactive oracle proofs into non-interactive proofs. With Alessandro Chiesa (Prof. @ Berkeley, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist @ StarkWare).

STARK @ Home 14: One STARK to Rule Them All
Scalable proof systems can have (theoretically) one set of constraints to enforce the computational integrity of any computation. This episode's discussion is all about the best way to achieve this.

STARK @ Home 13: Dark Forest Escape Route
Unfair extraction of value from transactions sitting in the mempool and waiting to be incorporated in a block has become a serious problem in Ethereum. In this episode, we'll discuss the "Dark Forest" problem and explain how STARKs can help mitigate it. With our special guests: Dan Robinson of Paradigm, and Arthur Breitman

STARK @ Home 12: How 2 L2 STARK?
You rely on the Inclusive Accountability offered by a public blockchain like Ethereum. Your users can't afford rising gas costs. And you need to scale up more than ever. A STARK L2 solution is one of the options you're considering. With our special guest: Avihu Levy

STARK @ Home 11: Preserving Mathematical Distancing
Social distancing may slow the spread of viruses, but mathematical distancing is provably crucial for maintaining STARKs healthy and sound. With our special guest: Professor Swastik Kopparty.

STARK @ Home 10: Zero Knowledge, The Known Unknown
Philosophy intersect Math intersect CS intersect Crypto.

STARK @ Home 9: ethSTARK – Open Source STARK (Fastest Prover Included)
We are releasing our open-source ethSTARK library and had special guest stars to help us announce it: Vitalk Buterin who needs no introduction, and David Levitt-Gurevich who leads the ethSTARK effort at StarkWare

STARK @ Home 8: Time-Warping STARKs
STARK-Powered VDFs (Verifiable Delay Functions) with special guest stars Jo Bonneau, Justin Drake, and StarkWare's VeeDo team members Kinneret Segal and Tom Brand.

STARK @ Home 7: The Cambrian Explosion of Crypto Proofs
We are in the midst of a Cambrian Explosion in the field of cryptographic proofs of computational integrity (CI). While a couple of years ago there were about 1–3 new systems a year, the rate has picked up so much that today we are seeing this same amount monthly, if not weekly. In this STARK @ Home talk, Eli Ben-Sasson suggests a method to better categorize and understand the different systems.

STARK @ home 6: Deep FRI Dive
Diving deep into FRI - Fast Reed-Solomon Interactive protocol (and a cool trick at the end)

STARK @ Home 5: The Sounds of Soundness
How do parrots check their phone bill? And what does it have to do with the PCP theorem?

STARK @ Home 4: Hot Air – Programming for Succinct ZKPs
How do you map a program to a polynomial? Eli Ben-Sasson waves his hands in the air to explain this concept

STARK @ Home 3: Let’s do Arithmetic – Why are polynomials used in succinct ZK proofs?
The pretty properties of polynomials that make them useful in succinct ZK proofs.
