This move could expand the technology behind StarkWare into a variety of tailored blockchain solutions.
A Tailored Approach to Blockchain Development
The SN Stack offers developers the ability to create specialized blockchains that address unique needs within the crypto ecosystem. According to StarkWare, the toolkit provides options such as Madara, an open-source framework optimized for flexibility.
Also, Dojo, designed for gaming and on-chain applications. And lastly, the StarkWare Sequencer, which delivers high-performance infrastructure from public Starknet.
Build your very own Starknet; now available for everyone.
After years of battle-testing our technology, the SN stack is now ready for public use, enabling anyone to easily create their own custom chain using the most performant and cost-efficient ZK tech stack on the market.

Eli Ben-Sasson, StarkWare’s co-founder and CEO, emphasized the significance of this launch: “From now on, projects can build appchains using the gold-standard ZK-STARK cryptography with the ease and low cost that optimistic rollups provided.”
ZK Cryptography: A Cut Above
Founded in 2018, StarkWare was one of the pioneers of ZK cryptography—a technology that has become a cornerstone for many next-generation blockchains. Compared to optimistic rollups, which are common in other Ethereum scaling solutions, ZK rollups are considered more secure and advanced. However, they are often more expensive and challenging to implement.
4 years of intensive building have brought us to this pivotal moment: the public launch of the SN Stack.
Anyone can now easily leverage the most performant, cost-effective, and battle-tested ZK tech stack on the market.

The introduction of the SN Stack aims to bridge this gap, making ZK-based solutions more accessible for developers without compromising on performance or security.
Keeping Up with Competitors
This announcement follows similar moves from StarkWare’s competitors in the layer-2 space, which offer solutions for scaling Ethereum’s capacity by enabling faster and cheaper transactions. StarkWare originally teased its customizable blockchain stack in July 2023, signaling its intent to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving market.
