Odaily News Vitalik and StarkWare-backed Kakarot announced the development of an independent Ethereum zero-knowledge proof (ZK) stack, and plans to achieve real-time Layer 1 block proof by the end of 2025. Kakarot is built on the Cairo language and uses the STARK system to avoid dependence on the existing mainstream ZK technology stack. It aims to enhance the diversity and system resilience of Ethereum ZK verification and help achieve Ethereum's goal of full ZK in 2028. (The Block)

<p>Odaily News Eli Ben-Sasson, co-founder and CEO of StarkWare, published an article on the X platform to explain the next stage of Starknet&#39;s goals. He said that Starknet is about to become the first network to settle on both Bitcoin and Ethereum. If OP_CAT is delayed or not adopted, alternative paths are planned, including BitVM, ColliderScript, operations simulated by Taproot, and trust-minimized side chains. In addition, the new STARK prover Stwo is scheduled to land on the Starknet and StarkEx system mainnet in the second quarter of 2025, which is expected to provide faster client proofs for games, DeFi, etc., which is expected to be 940 times faster than the current prover.<br/> Eli Ben-Sasson also said that Starknet is working to optimize its execution environment through Cairo-Native, which will transition from virtual machine-based simulation to native execution, thereby significantly improving processing speed and resource efficiency. At present, the first phase of STRK staking has exceeded 160 million, and more than 60,000 STRK holders have participated in it, which is an important step in Starknet&#39;s decentralization journey. In the future, efforts will continue to make the core components of the Starknet stack fully open source, including the next generation of sequencers. Currently, a framework is being built and contributed for developers to create cross-game and DeFi AI agents. In addition, the goal for 2025 also includes launching more than 30 dApps on Starknet.<br/></p>
