StarkWare Launches Open-Source 'Stwo' Prover to Enhance Ethereum Scaling

The new zero-knowledge prover, designed to reduce latency and transaction costs, is built on the Circle Stark protocol.

StarkWare announced the development of 'Stwo', a new open-source zero-knowledge prover aimed at reducing latency and transaction costs for Ethereum.
'Stwo' is built on the Circle Stark protocol, which improves efficiency over the existing STARK protocol by circumventing its constraints.
The prover is expected to lower blockchain transaction fees by enabling faster and cheaper transactions.
StarkWare's existing prover, 'Stone', will eventually be replaced by 'Stwo', benefiting Starknet appchains.
The announcement was made at ETHDenver, highlighting the rapid development following the theoretical breakthrough of the Circle Stark protocol.
