The company behind the L2 network Starknet, StarkWare, will lay off part of its staff and reorganize into two business divisions, as announced by the project's CEO, Eli Ben-Sasson. I am sharing here a message I shared with the StarkWare team following things I said at an All Hands meeting:========StarkWare is adapting its strategy, with a clear goal – to lead blockchain. So far, we’ve secured our position as technology leaders: we built the best ZK…— Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io (@EliBenSasson) April 13, 2026 He did not disclose the scale or timing of the layoffs but emphasized that these steps will help StarkWare return to a startup model and achieve product-market fit more swiftly. According to Ben-Sasson, the optimization will make the structure "more agile." StarkWare will take full control over the proof stack (Cairo, Sierra, quantum-secure STARK cryptography). This will reduce reliance on external L1s and third-party applications. "We have created the best first-layer scaling stack, but infrastructure alone is not enough. Applications demonstrate the power of the technology, but we are not playing to our full potential. We are capable of more. […] To achieve this, we must change how StarkWare operates," he wrote. New Structure As part of the restructuring, StarkWare will create two divisions. The first, application-focused and revenue-oriented, will be led by current CPO Avihu Levy. The second, an updated Starknet development, will be overseen by the current head of product, Tom Brand, who will also become the general manager. Levy recently proposed a method for quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions without a soft fork and will now focus on developing commercially successful products based on the company's technology stack. Ben-Sasson also announced other personnel changes: Chief Financial Officer Ran Grinstein will now be responsible for personnel management, security, and the IT sector; Head of core network development Gideon Kempfer will move to the position of chief architect; Chief Operating Officer Oren Katz has resigned but will continue to perform his duties until the end of April; The legal department will remain under the leadership of Catherine Kirkpatrick Bos. Decline in Revenue The structural changes come amid a sharp decline in the project's financial performance. While at the end of 2023, Starknet's network revenue reached $6 million per month, in the first half of 2026, the total amounted to only about $48,000. Source: DefiLlama. The decline partly reflects broader trends in the crypto industry. Starknet's competitors also suffered after the activation of the Dencun update, which sharply reduced L2 fee revenues. At the time of writing, the project's TVL stands at $241 million. At its peak in January 2026, the figure reached $330 million. Earlier in March, Crypto.com and Algorand announced significant layoffs. Since the beginning of the year, similar steps have been taken by Messari, OP Labs, Polygon, and Mantra.

Bitcoin Magazine Why Iran Wants Bitcoin For Safe Passage Though The Strait Of Hormuz Iran is demanding that oil tankers pay a $1-per-barrel toll in Bitcoin to pass safely through the Strait of Hormuz during the current two-week ceasefire with the United States, according to a Financial Times report citing Iranian oil exporters’ union spokesman Hamid Hosseini. The move allows Tehran to monetize its control over the chokepoint — which handles 20% of global oil flows — while bypassing U.S. sanctions that block traditional payment rails. Unlike dollars, yuan or gold, Bitcoin offers neutral, censorship-resistant settlement that cannot be traced or confiscated, validating long-standing Bitcoiner predictions that it functions as sovereign money for sanctioned nations.

The mining of the first cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly centralised, while the field of artificial intelligence is moving in the opposite direction, according to Alex Thorn, head of Galaxy Research. bitcoin mining began decentralized (CPUs, GPUs) and became centralized (ASICs, industrial-scale farms)AI may follow the opposite path: it started centralized in giant hosted clusters, but as frontier model gains slow (from data scarcity, context limits, and memory bottlenecks)… pic.twitter.com/J2indQsTt8— Alex Thorn (@intangiblecoins) April 12, 2026 He noted that in the early stages, mining the first cryptocurrency was accessible to any personal computer owner. However, with the growth in network difficulty and the advent of specialised equipment, digital gold mining has come under the control of large industrial operators with access to cheap electricity. Thorn suggested that AI might follow a different scenario. According to him, open models will gradually catch up in performance with closed ones, becoming more compact and affordable. Then, artificial intelligence will operate directly on the user's device rather than in cloud clusters. Edge AI Deploying artificial intelligence models on local devices is known as Edge AI. According to Grand View Research, by the end of 2025, the volume of this sector reached $24.9 billion. Experts predict that this year the figure will grow to $29.9 billion, and by 2033 it will exceed $118 billion. Source: Grand View Research. The market is actively developing due to the proliferation of IoT technologies, according to the analysts' report. This creates a steady demand for real-time data processing and stimulates the implementation of AI automation across various industries. There is also increasing attention to data privacy and edge computing technologies. Back in late March, CoinShares analysts recorded the capitulation of 20% of bitcoin miners.
