Want to update this slide for use in STARK @ Home this Thursday. What's new? Which projects using which poly commitment scheme? Register here, lots of fun, expect a big fight on whether size matters (field size, that is) https://crowdcast.io/c/k813ucfywkdm

Some hate hearing this: StarkWare was first: * First company to incorporate in order to solve blockchain scalability using validity proofs (Dec 2017). * First to embrace zkSTARKs -- transparent, work over any field, post-quantum secure. * First to say zkSTARKs are better scaling tech than the alternative -- number-theoretic based elliptic curve crytpo based SNARKs * First to show in production that STARKs solve scalability of blockchain * First to use in production a zk friendly Turing complete VM (best -- Cairo) * First L2 to have 100% native account abstraction * First to have sound and complete proofs which it trusts, with no additional security training wheels (committees, TEEs, whatnot) * First to have native L2 staking * First to decentralize. First and best.
