StarkWare is a for-profit technology company that develops the underlying technology based on STARKs (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge), a cryptographic proof system. The company offers 2 primary products:
Cairo is the native smart contract language of Starknet. It is a programming language designed for writing programs that generate STARK-based validity proofs, enabling applications whose execution can be cryptographically verified. Influenced by Rust in its design philosophy, Cairo abstracts much of the underlying zero-knowledge complexity, allowing developers to build verifiable applications without requiring deep expertise in cryptography.
