The State of the STARK

on YouTube ↗28m

" summary

Team exceeds 25 engineers with $40M raised and released Alpha on an Ethereum testnet that runs a live feed from Binance. StarkEx batches achieve an amortized gas cost under 1,000 gas per trade in 8,000 batches (versus ~100–200k on-chain, ~200x savings); StarkEx Alpha reports ~6,000 gas per trade. System has settled more than 10,000,000 trades on testnet, average proof latency ~10 minutes, each proof asserts ~260,000 Pedersen hashes (8k batch ≈4M), and DeepSTARK plus STARK-friendly hash work reduce proof sizes and prover time.
