PANews reported on April 13th that, according to The Block, zero-knowledge aggregation developer StarkWare announced layoffs and organizational restructuring, shifting its focus from "doing many things well" to "excelling in a few key areas." CEO Eli Ben-Sasson stated at an all-hands meeting that the company's size was "too large for the new strategy" and that it would return to a "startup model" by downsizing to accelerate product-market fit. StarkWare will form two main business units: a revenue-driven application business unit led by current CPO Avihu Levy, focusing on building revenue-generating products on its technology stack; and a Starknet development unit led by current Head of Product Tom Brand. Simultaneously, the company will strengthen its self-management of the complete blockchain proof stack, including Cairo, Sierra, and quantum-safe STARK cryptography, to reduce reliance on external Layer 1 and application teams. The management structure, including CFO Ran Grinshtein and core engineering leaders, will also be adjusted accordingly.
