🎉 Starkware Unveils Papyrus
Earlier last week, the team at Starkware unveiled Papyrus, a new open-source full node for StarkNet. Papyrus is built in the Rust programming language and tracks the state of the network as it evolves over time.
It’s a crucial component in the ongoing development of the StarkNet infrastructure as it’ll provide the foundation for the new StarkNet sequencer, an upcoming feature that will significantly enhance the network's throughput.
