Starkware will be open-sourcing the STARK prover
A few days ago the chads at Starkware announced that they would be open-sourcing their powerful STARK prover named STONE.
This move is important for the ecosystem, as it's a major step towards an open-source and decentralized community. Developers will be able to utilize and build on top of the STONE prover independently and effortlessly.
If you’re at Starknet Summit, you can tune into an intro session of the prover’s code.
Starknet v0.12.1 is live on mainnet
