<h3>mission</h3><p>StarkNet aims to bring scalability and privacy to a blockchain near you.</p><h3>current challenges</h3><p>Now that many of our usability targets have been achieved, we’re shifting the focus to make this our top priority. It’s all part of our 3-stage roadmap: usability, followed by the network’s performance, and then decentralization.&nbsp;</p><p>We’ll continue to improve upon past achievements. And in continuing to work on all areas of StarkNet, our ears will always remain open to the whole developer community.&nbsp;</p><h3>culture &amp; values</h3><p>We are building StarkNet in steps, starting with establishing usability, then improving performance, and finally, moving on to decentralization.</p><h3>history</h3><p>The STARK software stack has been live on the Ethereum Mainnet since June 2020. In January 2021 we announced our vision for StarkNet.&nbsp;</p><p>StarkNet Alpha, supporting general computation and composability, has been on a public testnet since June 2021, and on Mainnet Ethereum since November 2021.</p><h3>core team</h3><p>Eli Ben-Sasson - Co-Founder &amp; President</p><p>Uri Kolodny - Co-Founder &amp; CEO</p><p>Michael Riabzev - Co-Founder</p><p>Alessandro Chiesa - Co-Founder &amp; Chief Scientist&nbsp;</p><p>Ariel Elperin - Product Manager &amp; Blockchain Researcher</p>
