Bitcoin's biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that. The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013. It's now time to scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK, making it more accessible to everyone. The overarching goal: to transform Starknet to be a self-custodial decentralized L2 with full functionality over both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Hear more about the vision:

Our new prover Stwo just blew our mind 🔥 Here's a demo by Shahar Papini and Eli Ben-Sasson | Starknet.io of our next-gen prover, Stwo, and its groundbreaking performance: proving 620,000 hashes per second using an M3 laptop! This is x1000 better than our current prover, Stone, and is the fastest in the market 💨 Stwo will be in production in early 2025, meaning that all Starknet-powered chains will be much faster to prove and more cost-effective! Tech Specs: We measured throughput for proving invocations of the Poseidon2 hash over M31 field on a MacPro M3 machine. Deep dive into Stwo here:

Quantum computing is coming. Google’s recent breakthrough in quantum computing serves as a great reminder that, while we don’t know exactly when, quantum computing is on its way—and it’s closer than we might have thought. The implications for the current blockchain space could be far more severe than we can imagine. Why? Because when quantum computers become operational, security methods that currently take hundreds of years to hack could be broken in minutes. Like the turkey oblivious to the 1001st day, failing to anticipate the risks posed by quantum computing could leave us vulnerable to devastating consequences when the time comes. At StarkWare, we’ve anticipated this risk and developed STARK, a proving technology for blockchains that is quantum-resistant. This cutting-edge innovation currently powers Starknet (BTCFi arc). If you want to stay ahead of the curve and future-proof your systems, now is the best time to migrate your stack to a STARK-powered one. As the inventors of this technology, we believe our team is uniquely positioned to assist you with this migration. Moreover, we are more than open to collaborating with the Ethereum Foundation and other relevant parties to build Ethereum’s quantum resistance as soon as the community is ready.

Starknet is unique in the amount of computation it can run onchain. It’s no coincidence that three of the top Perp DEXs are building with us, and that Starknet hosts the most advanced fully onchain gaming ecosystem. All while delivering true decentralization, security, and soon, privacy.
