Today we are joined by Louis Guthmann, ecosystem developer at Starkware. Starkware is building zero-knowledge proof rollups for multiple chains, including Bitcoin, that promises to dramatically change how Bitcoin can scale without sacrificing security or Bitcoin’s simplicity. In this first episode we go over how starks are different from Lighting, what fees starks would bring to bitcoin and the rationale behind Starkware’s efforts.
