# Lambda Class

> We build software that is fast and provably correct.

Lambda builds cryptographic and blockchain solutions using zero-knowledge proofs, focusing on Rust implementations of critical infrastructure for secure and scalable blockchain systems.

Lambda is a deep tech venture studio working at the intersection of research and engineering, specialized in developing cryptographic tools and blockchain infrastructure. Their focus includes zero-knowledge proofs, Starknet infrastructure, Cairo VM implementation, and computational integrity. Lambda's tools enable developers to build secure, efficient, and trustless blockchain applications with minimal technical barriers.

## Products

- [Lambdaworks](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lambda_class): Lambdaworks implements cryptographic primitives used to build proof systems like SNARKs and STARKs, with comprehensive backends for various proving systems, field extensions, and compatibility with different frontends. (Developer Tooling, Live, Main Product)
- [Cairo-VM](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lambda_class): Cairo-VM is a Rust implementation of the Cairo virtual machine, supporting the execution of Cairo programs that can generate proofs of execution. It provides significant performance improvements over the original Python implementation. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [STARK Platinum](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lambda_class): A Rust implementation of the STARK proving system, compatible with Starknet's Stone prover. It enables the creation of zero-knowledge proofs of computational integrity with high performance. (Developer Tooling, Live)
- [Cairo Native](https://thegrid.id/profiles/lambda_class): A compiler that converts Cairo's Sierra code to machine code via MLIR and LLVM, enabling much faster execution of Cairo programs through native compilation. (Developer Tooling, Live)
