Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of ZK-STARKs, blockchains cap at under 1 000 TPS, resulting in a 70% loss of scalability capacity against rising demand.

  • Companies waste an average of 450 000 € per year on excessive gas fees and deployment delays, not to mention 40% of security incidents tied to faulty zero-knowledge proofs.

  • These vulnerabilities expose projects and careers to costly hacks – up to 2 M€ per breach – and rapid obsolescence in a market dominated by scalable leaders.

  • Every quarter without expertise widens the competitive gap, risking the survival of your blockchain infrastructure.

ZK-STARKs training objectives

  • Understand the concept of Zero-Knowledge Proofs and their privacy implications
  • Set up and deploy ZK-STARK proofs on a public blockchain
  • Compare ZK-STARK with other Zero-Knowledge Proof schemes (ZKP) such as ZK-SNARKs
  • Optimize scalability, privacy, and verifiability using ZK-STARKs
  • Secure and audit data flows via ZK-STARK proofs

ZK-STARKs curriculum: 3 modules over 2 days

Module 1 : Introduction and Fundamentals of ZK-STARKs

Definitions of Zero-Knowledge Proofs; History and positioning of ZK-STARKs; Comparison with other proofs (ZK-SNARKs, bulletproofs, etc.); Privacy challenges on blockchain; Industrial use cases; First mathematical concepts used (hash functions, set theory and polynomials). Study of the algorithmic complexity of proof generation and verification.

Module 2 : Implementation of a ZK-STARK Proof: Practice and Tools

Installation of main development tools (StarkWare frameworks, Cairo, etc.); Writing a simple proof on a concrete use case (proof of set membership, proof of solvency, etc.); In-depth analysis of the interactive/non-interactive protocol; Challenges of integration on public blockchains (Ethereum, StarkNet); Critical review of ZK-STARK advantages (no trusted setup, post-quantum security, mathematical transparency).

Module 3 : Advanced Applications and Securing ZK-STARKs

Development of advanced applications (validium, rollups, privacy pools); Security audit of a ZK-STARK proof; Best practices for design and optimization (random oracle, limitations, benchmarks); Monitoring and performance analysis in production; Discussion on off-chain scalability; Outlook on the future evolution of Zero-Knowledge Proofs: STARKs, SNARKs, PLONK, Halo; Feedback from real integration on company projects.

Our method

How Learni guarantees the quality of your ZK-STARKs training

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
