StarkWare – a company focused on Ethereum scaling – will open-source its Zero-Knowledge (ZK) software.

StarkWare announced today that it plans to open-source its STARK Prover – the engine that’s designed to generate cryptographic proofs that compress hundreds of thousands of transactions for submission to Ethereum in fewer kilobytes than a smartphone photograph.
This is also the technology that powers Starknet and StarkEx – solutions that have reportedly scaled more transactions on Ethereum than all other L2 scaling solutions combined.
According to the press release shared with CryptoPotato, the plan will take time to implement, but when it’s complete, the Starknet technology stack will be open source.
Speaking on the matter was Eli Ben-Sasson, President of StarkWare, who said:

This is a landmark moment for scaling Ethereum, and in a wider sense for cryptography. It will put STARK technology in its rightful place, as a public good which will be used to benefit everyone.
