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.
What I need is a miniapp so that hyperfury (tool I use to create tweets and schedule them) automatically casts while tweeting. Who's building this? Even better, would want one unified feed to abstact away which social app I'm corresponding with
Finished the excellent biography on Einstein by Walter Isaacson, want to learn more about Relativity, from a math perspective.
Any recommendations for someone math educated?
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)
