Foresight News reported, according to The Block, that StarkWare co-founder and CEO Eli Ben-Sasson announced layoffs and organizational restructuring at an all-hands meeting. The company is shifting its focus from infrastructure development to building its own products in order to generate meaningful revenue. Ben-Sasson stated that the layoffs aim to return the company to a "startup mode" and accelerate product-market fit. The company will take full control of the verification stack, including Cairo, Sierra, and STARK cryptography technology, to reduce reliance on external Layer 1 networks and application teams.


This reorganization will create two independent business units: an Applications division focused on revenue, led by current CPO Avihu Levy as General Manager, and a Starknet Development division led by current Head of Product Tom Brand as General Manager. In addition, CFO Ran Grinshtein will oversee finance, human resources, security, and IT; Gideon Kaempfer has been appointed Chief Architect; and COO Oren Katz has submitted his resignation and will remain until the end of April.
