StarkWare has released OffMarket, a privacy-focused platform that allows users to trade on Polymarket without exposing their on-chain identity.
Starknet has launched Shadow Accounts, a privacy feature that allows users to interact with DeFi applications using separate, persistent addresses funded via the STRK20 privacy pool.
StarkWare CEO Eli Ben-Sasson argues that a Bitcoin soft fork is essential for quantum resistance, as current quantum-safe workarounds remain limited in scope.
StarkWare is evaluating a transition for Starknet from an Ethereum L2 to an independent L1 blockchain to enhance its post-quantum security and cryptographic agility.
Researchers are exploring three methods to protect Bitcoin from potential quantum computing threats, including cost-optimized transactions, protocol upgrades, and specialized custody solutions.
The cost of creating quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions has fallen by nearly 80% following an optimization competition involving AI models.
A week-long coding contest organized by StarkWare has reduced the GPU compute cost for preparing quantum-safe Bitcoin transactions by 79%, dropping the price from $320 to roughly $66.
StarkWare has initiated a challenge with a prize pool over $20,000 to optimize quantum-resistant Bitcoin transactions without altering consensus rules.
