Recursive STARKs
The very first recursive proofs of general computation, now live on Ethereum Mainnet


StarkEx Version 4.5 is Here!
Volition, ERC-1155, and Transaction Bundling


A Thundering Herd: The Rise of L2-Native dApps
Unleashing L2’s computational richness: dApps can now flourish free of traditional L1 gas restrictions

Fractal Scaling: From L2 to L3
Introducing L3, the application-specific layer, built recursively over L2

StarkEx 3.0 now live on Mainnet
Empower L2 users to easily interact with L1

dAMM (Distributed AMM)
A Cross-L2 AMM

A Trustless Sidechain-to-StarkEx Bridge Secured by Ethereum
How to transfer funds between sidechains and StarkEx trustlessly, securely, and inexpensively

Oracle Price Feed on StarkEx
StarkEx uses oracle prices in an effective and secure manner, enabling better protection from price manipulations, explains product manager Ohad Barta in this April 2021 post.

Self-Custody 1: Introduction, Proof Systems & Audits
With StarkEx, users retain maximum control of their funds and avoid centralized exchanges. The first of a four-part series on this concept.

StarkEx — Now for NFTs
Gaming company Immutable X wanted to reduce gas costs for its hit blockchain game, and chose StarkEx to mint its NFTs. This April 2021 blog is about entering the "fast-moving and exciting NFT space.”


dYdX Now on Mainnet
dYdX, the fastest and most powerful decentralized exchange, has boosted trading volume and reduced gas fees since porting perpetual contracts to StarkEx in spring 2021, when our team wrote this blog.

StarkWare: Scalability and Privacy for Blockchains
Token Talks with Zach DeWitt, Sep 3rd 2019

Chain Reaction with Eli Ben-Sasson, Uri Kolodny & Will Harborne
Tom Shaughnessy of Delphi Digital hosted us to talk about how DeversiFi is leveraging Starkware's tech to power a decentralized exchange capable of 9k+ TPS

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.

L2 Scaling – Interoperability with Shared State
L1-L2 interoperability using both on-chain and off-chain Conditional Txs.

StarkEx 2.0 is Now Live on Mainnet!
StarkEx 2.0 is launched in December 2020. Improvements include better user onboarding, faster L1-L2 connectivity, and readiness for massive off-chain NFT minting.

dAMM, an L2-Powered AMM
StarkWare enables AMMs to share liquidity across L2 solutions . For the first time dAMM -- which stands for distributed AMM -- makes shared AMMs practical

Conditional Transfers — The Key to Interoperability
StarkEx’s Fast Withdrawal solution eliminates the need to wait before withdrawing funds moved from L2 to L1. The feature is discussed in this blog from March 2021, three months after implementation.

DeFi Pooling
Reducing gas costs for DeFi by batching L2 transaction requests from different users. It’s “the way to go to scale to 10M more DeFi traders,” we wrote in January 2020.

Self-Custody 2: Contract Upgradability
The novel mechanism that safeguards users’ assets — upgrading smart contract code without compromising on self-custody.

The Optimistic Rollup Dilemma
Capital Efficiency vs. Security

The Road to L2 Interoperability
This October 2020 post outlines StarkEx’s vision — today a reality — for L1-L2 interoperability using both on-chain Conditional Txs and off-chain Conditional Txs.

Volition and the Emerging Data Availability Spectrum
Data availability is not an on-chain / off-chain dichotomy

STARKs over Mainnet
Celebrating a two-year journey from exciting math to a robust product, the team announces the launch of StarkEx on Ethereum Mainnet.

The Great Reddit Scaling Bake-off 2020
Our submission to the Great Reddit Scaling Bake-off of July 2020 shows that StarkEx outperforms other Rollup solutions.

Self-Custody 3: Wallets
Building safe wallets is a major challenge of crypto. StarkEx integrates with wallet providers; achievements include the first hardware wallet brought to L2.

Self-Custody 4: Data Availability
StarkEx users have confidence they would be able to withdraw funds to L1 even if an emergency scenario arose in which StarkEx Operators don’t service requests.

With StarkEx, Ethereum is ready for Reddit
Resounding illustration of scalability: StarkEx onboards 1.3M accounts to Ethereum Mainnet, using 2.5% of the network and taking just 12 hours.

The Cambrian Explosion of Crypto Proofs
And the role of symmetric STARKs within
