STARK

STARK (Scalable Transparent Argument of Knowledge) is an advanced cryptographic proof system designed to enhance security and efficiency in blockchain technology.

Launched in 2018 by StarkWare, zk-STARK is at the forefront of cryptographic innovation, ensuring the privacy and integrity of blockchain computations. By utilizing state-of-the-art cryptographic proofs and modern algebraic techniques, zk-STARK allows blockchains to offload computations to an external STARK prover while validating their accuracy through an on-chain STARK Verifier. This transformative approach not only fortifies security but also optimizes blockchain performance, paving the way for seamless and scalable decentralized applications.
