Polygon and StarkWare Collaborate on New Cryptographic Proofs to Enhance Blockchain Scalability
• New "Circle STARKs" cryptographic proofs created through collaboration between Polygon and StarkWare to make transactions faster and cheaper
• Supposed to accelerate validity proof process for rollups, enhancing scalability and efficiency of blockchains like Ethereum
• Come into play in Polygon's new Plonky3 proving system, expected to provide 7-10x improvement in speed
• Whitepaper published, no timeline given for implementation
• Hailed as breakthrough for zero-knowledge rollup technology and important next step, though not the end of improvements
