| 0:00.0 | Welcome bank notation back to this third episode of the ETH CC experience. |
| 0:06.8 | In this episode, we're talking with Erie and Ellie of the StarCware team. |
| 0:10.2 | And this is coming off of their StarCnet token announcement, which is of course the subject |
| 0:14.8 | matter of this particular episode, but not the only subject matter. |

| 1:04.0 | the conversation later on. |
