Learn about StarkWare’s Stwo prover: 10-1000x faster zk-proofs, client-side proving, and soon real-time Ethereum block proofs. We’ll cover how Stwo scales Starknet as a Layer 2 zk-rollup and outline the privacy roadmap, including full zero-knowledge support and seamless verification of Noir proofs.
Join us for an exclusive deep dive into the cutting-edge advancements in proving technology developed at StarkWare through the Stwo prover. We’ll showcase the latest state-of-the-art benchmarks and unveil our roadmap for achieving a 10-100x improvement in performance over the coming months.
We’ll explore the transformative potential of client-side proving in Stwo—bringing cryptographic proofs directly to user devices to unlock functionalities that were previously impractical due to computational constraints. This breakthrough paves the way for a more decentralized and scalable Starknet.
As a Layer 2 zk-rollup over Ethereum, Starknet is designed to scale Ethereum in a secure, efficient, and decentralized way—bringing massive improvements in throughput without compromising on security. The innovations in Stwo will accelerate this vision, enhancing Starknet’s ability to deliver low-cost, high-speed transactions while inheriting Ethereum’s security guarantees. In the near future, Stwo will even make it possible to generate validity proofs for entire Ethereum blocks in real time—paving the way for unprecedented scalability and trustless verification.
We’ll also outline Starknet’s privacy roadmap, including our plans to make Stwo fully zero-knowledge and how users can leverage zk on Starknet today through seamless verification of Noir proofs. These advancements will unlock new possibilities for both developers and users, bringing enhanced security, privacy, and decentralization to the ecosystem.
