Welcome to the Scalability Series, where we uncover how StarkWare is paving the way to Ethereum’s future!

TL;DWatch

- StarkEx is a permissioned layer-2 scaling engine for Ethereum, offered as a SaaS to platforms that want to scale their throughput.

- StarkEx scales Ethereum because transactions are STARK-proven and sent to Ethereum for verification.

- A StarkEx transaction can hold between 12,000 and 500,000 transactions, depending on the transaction type.

-Data availability also scales Ethereum and StarkEx offers 3 data availability modes: Rollup, Validium and Volition.

-The chosen DA mode is a tradeoff between cost and security.
