Episode 59: STARKs&StarkWare with Eli and Alessandro - a podcast by Fredrik Harrysson, Anna Rose

In this week's episode, we catch up with Eli Ben-Sasson and Alessandro Chiesa from StarkWare Industries (https://www.starkware.co/). We talk about their longstanding academic work in theoretic&applied cryptography, how StarkWare came to be, the emergence of zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs, some of the differences between these different zero knowledge systems, dive into the specific features of STARKs (!) and what's coming next in the space.
