StarkWare
What is it? StarkWare is a permissionless Decentralized ZK-Rollup. Any developer can deploy any dApp, using smart contracts, and achieve unlimited scale by using StarkWare.
Stated goals - to bring scalability, security, and privacy to a blockchain near you. Currently they are providing L2 solution for ETH (on-chain governance) while rewarding operators for processing transactions. With a current objective to speed up ETH to 100,000 transactions per second from their current 20-25 transactions per second.
StarkWare recently confirmed it will release their StarkNet token

Token Supply - 50.1% supply distributed by StarkWare Foundation via various community efforts.
StarkWare Ecosystem is already very expansive

StarkWare also has a SaaS (Software as a Service offering) which provides ZK-Rollup via SaaS. Put another way, pay for what you use, with little to no overhead. A great use of cloud computing if you ask me.
