StarkWare deploys S-two prover on Starknet to boost speed, privacy and decentralization

StarkWare has deployed its next-generation, open-source S-two prover onto the Starknet mainnet, positioning it as the fastest and most privacy-ready proof system currently in production. This upgrade replaces older proving components, generating validity proofs for every block, which drastically cuts proving time and verification costs while enhancing throughput and scalability without compromising trustlessness. A key feature of S-two is its efficiency on consumer hardware, allowing private proof generation directly from personal devices, which makes large-scale privacy practical for applications like private DeFi and verifiable AI. According to CEO Eli Ben-Sasson, this speed and cost efficiency enables new application categories and moves decentralization from aspiration to reality. Furthermore, the launch supports StarkWare's strategy to expand Starknet toward scaling Bitcoin, aiming to make it the first Layer 2 to settle on both Bitcoin and Ethereum.
