The new open source ZK prover aims to reduce latency and reduce transaction costs for end users.
StarkWare has announced the launch of Stwo, an open-sourced prover based on zero-knowledge (ZK) technology that aims to increase proving latency and reduce transaction fees for end users.
A prover is needed on Starknet to compress transactions by generating cryptographic proofs. By generating faster proofs, Stwo will reduce StarkWare’s processing costs, ultimately resulting in lower user fees, according to a Feb. 29 press release shared with Cointelegraph.
According to Oren Katz, the COO of StarkWare, the new Stwo will unlock new possibilities for the protocol. He said:
