StarkWare

Overview

StarkWare is an Israeli software company specializing in advanced cryptographic technology, particularly zero-knowledge proofs, to improve blockchain scalability, security, and privacy. Founded by Eli Ben-Sasson, Alessandro Chiesa, Uri Kolodny, and Michael Riabzev, the company develops practical solutions that significantly reduce costs and energy consumption by compressing and batching blockchain transactions.

Its main products include StarkEx, a permissioned Validity-Rollup scaling engine, and StarkNet, a permissionless ZK-Rollup layer-two blockchain for scalable decentralized applications built on Ethereum. Both utilize zk-STARKs technology, offering transparent, quantum-resistant cryptographic proofs to address key challenges in blockchain operations. These solutions are trusted by clients such as Sorare, dYdX, and Immutable X, enhancing speed and privacy across blockchain platforms.
