S1E03 [EN] - Abdel: The Future of Starknet and Cairo

Abdel is the exploration lead at StarkWare. In this episode, we discussed these following problems:

• How does Starkware establish an open and collaborative developer ecosystem?
• With projects like Kakarot, Madara, and Beerus already in the Starknet ecosystem, what are the future plans?- What important ecological parts are missing from the Starkware ecosystem? How should developers participate in?
• In what ways can applications written in the Cairo language differ from those written in Solidity?
• As Kakarot is based on Starkware and competes directly with ZKSync, Scroll, and other ZKEVMs, can it leverage the unique Cairo based architecture on Starkware? Currently, it seems challenging for EVMs to achieve consensus among developers and users on platforms like Aurora on Near, NEON on Solana, or EVMOS on Cosmos.
