Scaling Ethereum’s Future: Empowering the Starknet Ecosystem Worldwide

Ingamar Ramirez drives Growth at the Starknet Foundation, the organization dedicated to making Ethereum scalable, secure, and accessible through zero‑knowledge rollup technology. He spearheads initiatives that attract the next wave of developers, enterprises, and users to Starknet — the Layer 2 network that compresses thousands of transactions into a single proof, settling on Ethereum with minimal fees and maximal trustlessness. His work spans community bootstrapping, strategic partnerships, educational outreach, and developer experience optimization, all with the goal of transforming Starknet from a cutting‑edge protocol into the default fabric of decentralized applications.

With a background in ecosystem strategy, product marketing, and Web3 business development, Ingamar has been instrumental in scaling developer communities from hundreds to tens of thousands across Latin America, Africa, and Asia. He previously led growth efforts at notable L1 and L2 protocols, bridging the gap between complex zero‑knowledge cryptography and builders who simply want to deploy fast, low‑cost, and secure smart contracts. At Starknet, he focuses on reducing friction — whether through local language documentation, hackathon sponsorships, or direct mentorship — so that anyone, anywhere, can participate in the on‑chain economy. Ingamar is a firm believer that the future of the internet depends on provable computation, and Starknet’s unique use of STARK proofs offers a path to scale Ethereum without compromising decentralization. At UN Blockchain Week, he shares the playbook for growing a global Layer 2 ecosystem, the real‑world impact of ZK technology, and how to make blockchain as intuitive as the web we use today.
