SNARKs and STARKs are both zero-knowledge proofs, but they differ in key ways. SNARKs are succinct and verifiable with a trusted setup, which can be a security vulnerability. STARKs, on the other hand, are trustless and more transparent, but require more computation and space for verification. This trade-off shapes their use cases: SNARKs excel in systems needing efficiency, while STARKs shine in scenarios demanding maximum security and transparency.
