StarkWare deployed the S-two prover on the Starknet Mainnet to enhance speed and privacy.

According to ChainCatcher news reported by The Block, StarkWare has deployed its next-generation Open Source S-two prover on the Starknet Mainnet, which the company claims is currently the fastest and most privacy-preserving proof system in a production environment. This upgrade replaces the previous proof components of the network, now generating validity proofs for each Block, reducing proof time and lowering verification costs, while increasing throughput and scalability without sacrificing trustlessness. S-two (short for “STARK Two”) generates zk-SNARKs at a speed 10 times faster than the previous system, making previously uneconomical workloads such as real-time trading engines and zk machine learning inference possible by lowering proof costs and increasing Block Size.
