StarkWare laid off staff and restructured into two major business units, accelerating the development of its own products and revenue.

CoinFeed 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 "doing a few key areas exceptionally well." 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.
