StarkWare Opens Up Its Scaling Technology

Layer 2 solutions provider StarkWare announced it will be making its software Stark Prover opensource. Prover is an engine used by the firm to roll up hundreds of thousands of transactions and the Israeli based company believes it will boost accessibility to developers, promote collaborations within the community plus other benefits.

President and co-founder Eli Ben-Sasson said "we think Prover as the magic wand of Stark technology as it wondrously generates the proofs that allow unimaginable scaling".

ZK rollups are a way of proving the validity of a statement without revealing what the statement is and the firm scales Ethereum by using these zero-knowledge (ZK) proofs enabling the processing of partial transaction data off the root chain decreasing its load.

Stark Prover will be renamed to the "Starknet Prover which will be placed under an Apache 2.0 license to which the firm has already begun open source some elements.
The final stage in the decentralization of the ecosystem is open souring the Prover.
