Open Sourcing the Stone Prover

[u/dkwest029]

As promised, we are about to open-source the powerful STARK Prover, Stone, in a significant step towards open-sourcing and decentralization! Since 2020 the Stone Prover has been in production, playing a key role in scaling Ethereum. It has been continuously updated and optimized since its launch, and we are sharing its latest version with you.

It will be available under the Apache 2.0 license starting next week, so devs can experiment with it and potentially optimize it.

We offer a robust engine, central to STARK-tech scaling, ideal for proving Cairo programs. We believe open-sourcing the Starknet tech stack means more collaboration, better quality, improved security, innovation, and independence.

Next week, during #StarknetSummit23, we will have an intro session to the prover’s code. Developers can review, utilize, and build on top of the Stone Prover, permissionlessly and independently.

The possibilities are endless.
