GRTiQ Podcast Uri Kolodny - Co-founder at StarkWare
Today I am speaking with Uri Kolodny, Co-Founder at StarkWare, the pioneering team behind Starknet, a Layer 2 solution designed to tackle Ethereum's scalability challenges. Starknet is a Validity Rollup that offers boundless scalability while upholding Ethereum's security and decentralization principles.
It's important to note that Uri has been serving as StarkWare’s CEO, though he recently shared his decision to step down from this role, as mentioned in his public statement on social media and other platforms. I'd like to clarify that this interview with Uri was conducted prior to his announcement. During our conversation, Uri displayed remarkable kindness and thoughtfulness, and I extend my best wishes to him and his family during this time.
My motivation for this interview stems from the fact that, much like last week's conversation with Maarten Henseksns at Astar, Starknet is actively pursuing support on The Graph Network through the Chain Integration Process. Similar to Astar, support for Starknet is expected sometime soon!
This interview proved to be both insightful and enjoyable. Uri's brilliance shines through as we explore topics such as entrepreneurship, the significance of Layer 2 solutions, an in-depth understanding of Starknet and its distinctive features, and, of course, the eagerly anticipated integration with The Graph.
