Check out our latest research piece (2077 Collective) around StarkNet's Bolt upgrade which introduces two big changes to their ZK rollup on Ethereum: 1. Parallel Execution (through Block-STM's parallel execution model) 2. Block Packing (which leverages a new recursive ZK-proving algorithm making it possible to cryptographically verify the correct execution of multiple L2 blocks with a single STARK proof) https://lnkd.in/dNVEnZqq Great work from the StarkWare and Starknet Foundation teams, amazing to see this shipped! 🙌 Some more coverage of upcoming StarkNet upgrades is in the works 👀

“If Bitcoin can do smart contracts like Ethereum, so what? why do we need two blockchains that do the same thing?” While Bitcoin communities including us are proud to enable smart contracts using on-chain ZKP verifications, those are the tricky questions that need to be answered, or at least discussed. Please join me for a discussion and feel free to share your thoughts or argument with us🤗 https://lnkd.in/dC97FJsk #Bitcoin #Ethereum #SmartContract #ZeroKnowledgeProof #VerifiableComputation #zkRollup #BitVM StarkWare sCrypt

We’re excited to work with Twinstake in bringing staking support to STRK!

The Starknet developer experience has seen a major upgrade over the past year with the shift from Cairo Zero to the new, Rust-like Cairo, improving security and usability. - 74% prefer Cairo over Cairo Zero. - 62% report a significantly better developer experience. - 70% rank Cairo on par with or better than other languages. Top requests for future tools include an online debugger, Cairo registry, and improved docs. https://lnkd.in/dzGXjD87

At StarkWare, we believe excellence goes beyond personal achievement—it’s about leveraging our skills to create lasting impact, solve complex challenges, and shape a better future for all. Innovation, responsibility, and social impact are at the heart of everything we do. This year, we're proud to launch the StarkWare Prize for Excellence in Computer Science. Over 150 top students from Israel’s leading computer science universities competed, demonstrating exceptional academic excellence and more. After a thorough selection process, five outstanding winners were chosen for their academic success and their generosity, leadership, and contributions to the community and society, each receiving a 15k NIS prize. This marks the beginning of an annual tradition fostering academic and social excellence that aligns with StarkWare’s core values.

A few weeks ago, StarkWare threw an exclusive, jam-packed meetup for the awesome ReactIL developer community! It was a night full of code, connections, and geeky fun! We had the chance to connect, learn, and enjoy great food and drinks with Nir Kaufman, Nir Parisian, Naor Yehudaey, and 100 talented devs in an amazing environment. Missed out? Stay tuned and sign up for the next Server Components Workshop at the StarkWare office—it’s the perfect opportunity to improve your skills and connect with fellow developers. https://lnkd.in/dQcC3gTT
