> STARKs, not SNARKs, will dominate
As an uneducated person, I perceive STARKs like hash-based signatures. A lot of hashing, it works, but it's bloated and unless quantum computers become a thing one day (highly unlikely) they might never get used.
Now, I might be completely wrong, and depending on the application these might offer very competitive benefits. I'm looking forward to be proven wrong while reading this tutorial :)
