StarkWare Aims to Scale Bitcoin with ZK-STARK Technology

StarkWare, the company behind StarkNet, plans to make its L2 network a unified scaling layer for Bitcoin alongside Ethereum. Bitcoin’s biggest challenge is scalability. StarkWare has a vision to change that. The concept of STARK scaling for blockchains was first introduced by @EliBenSasson at a Bitcoin conference in early 2013. It’s now time to scale […]

StarkWare Unveils Scaling Platform for ZK Applications

StarkWare, in collaboration with Cartridge, has developed the ZKThreads scaling framework for decentralized ZK applications within its L2 network, StarkNet. The solution will expand the product line based on the concept of Fractal Scaling, which StarkWare introduced in 2021. ZKThreads offers an alternative to existing ZK coprocessors by providing a unified protocol for verifying transaction […]

Vitalik Buterin Proposes Zero-Knowledge Likes

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin has endorsed developer X Wang Haofei’s idea of confidential likes and suggested implementing the initiative on the social network Farcaster. Source: Warpcast. He expanded on this proposal by suggesting the use of zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs to combat “preference falsification.” “Preference falsification is a big problem in society, and we need to […]

Vitalik Buterin Unveils Details of New ZKP Model Binius

Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin discussed the advantages of Binius, a new zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) system. The primary aim of this technology is to deliver a significant performance boost compared to traditional models like zk-SNARK. According to Buterin, Binius achieves greater efficiency by performing computations directly on individual binary bits—zeros and ones. In contrast, SNARK and […]

Polygon Labs Introduces ZKP Integration for EVM Blockchains

Developers at Polygon Labs have unveiled a concept for a Type 1 prover, enabling EVM networks to integrate zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) based scaling technology. This solution will allow a wide range of blockchains, including sidechains and Optimistic rollups, to transform into validiums—a specialized form of L2 networks with ZKP—without the need for hard forks. Unlike […]
