The prover is the crucial engine Starkware uses to roll up hundreds of thousands of transactions and compress them into a tiny cryptographic proof written on the Ethereum blockchain.
Etherum Layer 2 Scaling Solution StarkWare announced its intention to open up the source code of its unique Starknet Prover under the Apache2.0 license, which has so far resolved 327 million transactions and forged 95 million unchangeable dynamic passwords (NFT).
The prover is the key module used by Starkware to sum up hundreds of thousands of transactions and convert it into subtle login password evidence written on the ethernet block chain.
For us, Prover is the magic stick of Stark technology. Eli Ben-Sasson, president and founder of Starkware, says it mysteriously forms incredible evidence of expansion.
Starkware has been criticized by the cryptographic community and its market competition solutions such as ZK Sync and Polygon for preserving the IP behind its technology, which contradicts the ethics of open source and interoperability of the blockchain.
Making Prover open source under the Apache2.0 license will allow many projects or networks-even mobile games or database system developers-to use this technology, write code, and customize it. The technology was announced in 2020 and has long been used by ImmuableX, Sorare and dYdX.
Avihu Levy, head of Starkware merchandise, would not promise to structure the certifier's open source time, but he pointed out that this would not happen until after the symbolic release of Starknet and blockchain technology. However, he allows this to be possible this year.
"I want to promote a blockchain technology, unlicensed Internet, which means we need to have this key component," she said in an interview with Cointelegraph.
Levy shows that the decision to open source the prover demonstrates Starkware and growing confidence in the technology, and that this will make the new project more confident in making it a key part of the contract.
In Starkex, it is sometimes referred to as dealer locking or locking. Therefore, this commitment is not only a commercial service commitment, but also a technical commitment to Starkex.
"this is a strong data signal that we will have everything we need to run it independently of Starkware."
Starkware has already opened up its computer language and EVM competitor Cairo 1.0, Papyrus Full Node, and is in the process of opening up a new Sequencer.
Ben-Sasson opened the Starkware Sessions conference in Tel Aviv on Sunday, which planners say is the largest second-tier conference ever held.
He told about 500 developers and guests: "this is also an epoch-making moment for the development of Ether Square." "this will put Stark's technology in the right place as a public good for everyone to benefit."
