Why this program matters

  • Without mastery of ZK-STARKs, your blockchain protocols remain vulnerable to privacy attacks and stalled by lack of scalability.

  • 70 % of security incidents on decentralized networks stem from flawed ZK implementations, resulting in average losses of 3,2 millions d'euros per breach according to Chainalysis.

  • Your company then loses 25 % market share to agile competitors, while your developers waste 40 hours per week on ineffective debugging.

  • Every quarter without expertise exposes your career and infrastructure to irreversible obsolescence.

ZK-STARKs curriculum: 3 modules over 3 days

Module 1 : Introduction to Zero-Knowledge Proofs and ZK-STARKs

Overview of Zero-Knowledge Proofs, history and motivation. Limitations of ZK-SNARKs. Origins and innovations of ZK-STARKs: transparency, no trusted setup, quantum resistance. Presentation of use cases (confidential cryptocurrencies, electronic voting, Layer 2 on Ethereum, etc.).

Module 2 : Algebraic Architecture and Operation of ZK-STARKs

Mathematical details: polynomial theory, error-correcting codes, hashing and Merkle trees in ZK-STARKs. Commitment and revelation protocol. Main components: arithmetization, Commitment, Oracle, Verify. Performance comparison (efficiency, costs, security) with ZK-SNARKs. Current advantages and limitations.

Module 3 : Practical Implementation and Integration of ZK-STARKs

Installation and configuration of tools (StarkWare, Cairo, open-source tools). Design of a simple circuit, proof generation and verification. Integration into a decentralized application such as Layer 2 (e.g., Ethereum rollup). Security audit and best practices. State of the ecosystem, trends, and prospects.

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.
