The executive explained that: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe most important thing is that it was executed flawlessly. Everything that was supposed to happen did happen. And none of the things that people were worried about did happen. And that&#8217;s terrific <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/news\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"2\" title=\"News\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news<\/a>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Additionally, the executive also highlighted the importance of the new Ethereum network being better for the environment. \u201cIt reduces the carbon footprint. That&#8217;s the big thing, and it also bodes very well for the potential of future improvements,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>According to Ben-Sasson, the Merge also makes Ethereum a better settlement layer and a more friendly platform for layer-2 solutions. The executive highlighted that this is a very important development for their products at Starkware as they could then offer scaling, compression of computation and other improvements that their <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> can deliver. <\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Related: <\/em><\/strong><strong><em>China GPU prices drop to new lows after the Ethereum Merge<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Apart from the Ethereum Merge, Ben-Sasson also shared that most of the adoption and interest in Starkware solutions are with projects that were also successful in the layer-1 Ethereum. This includes nonfungible tokens (NFTs), blockchain gaming and decentralized finance (DeFi). In addition to that, the executive shared his expectations for the future. He said that: <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI expect that at some point, the ability to run much more massive computation with very low gas footprint will lead to completely new and unforeseen applications that are going to be far more important.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>With everything that\u2019s happening, the executive also shared his belief that despite many people describing the crypto and blockchain space\u2019s current situation as a crypto winter, their team feels different. \u201cWe feel it as spring towards the balmy summer,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><template data-name=\"subscription_form\" data-type=\"markets_outlook\"><\/template>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
