ConsenSys and StarWare are partnering up.
According to ConsenSys’ blog post, the two software companies are amalgam StarkNet to Infura and MetaMask, a move which brings Zero-Knowledge rollup technology to two of the best axiological pillars of Ethereum’s blockchain ecosystem.

Major Ethereum protocols accept already started accretion to StarkNet, including MakerDAO, which should accomplishment amalgam the Layer 2 band-aid by aboriginal 2023.
