[Eli Ben-Sasson: The Ethereum Ecosystem Should Prioritize Technical Choices Over Political Alignment] StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson expressed a neutral stance regarding the recent controversies surrounding the Ethereum Foundation. Eli Ben-Sasson reflected on StarkWare's journey since 2019/2020 in developing the post-quantum secure ZK STARK system, highlighting that the team's technical choices in areas such as STARKs, zkVM, Cairo, Native AA, and Bitcoin scaling were once considered misaligned with Ethereum but have now been adopted by multiple teams. Eli Ben-Sasson called on the Ethereum ecosystem to focus more on technology and capabilities themselves rather than alignment, stating that if this can be achieved, he is willing to engage in closer collaboration with Ethereum.
