stETHA tokenized representation of staked ETH in the Lido ecosystem, covering the initial staked amount and the corresponding staking rewards.
zk-STARKShort for zero-knowledge scalable transparent argument of knowledge, a zero-knowledge proof system based on collision-resistant hash functions that needs no initial trusted setup.
