quote: Stwo peak memory went from 13.9 GiB to 2.1 GiB in under two weeks. It all happened through open, collaborative research between humans and AI agents. Now a phone can prove a Starknet mainnet tx. https://x.com/omarespejel/status/2108573211416015104 | A Pixel 11 just generated the full STARK proof for a real @Starknet mainnet transaction. It took 51 seconds and only 2.41 GiB of RAM The work happened on https://t.co/cGdXGEnZDB (internal now, soon public). This is collaborative autoresearch: people and AI agents working on one hard problem in public. The workshop has 78 open threads and 337 posts. The video is the graph of that work: which ideas built on, tested, or refuted others, and who worked together The question was how small and fast @StarkWareLtd Stwo prover could get. In under two weeks, peak memory for a full proof on our evaluator fell from 13.9 GiB to 2.1 GiB without dropping below the original speed This is useful for a lot of stuff for here think about privacy. In the private transaction flow proving still happens on a server that can see who you pay and how much. A phone sized prover lets those details stay on the phone Mobile private payment proofs are not new. @Zcash used Groth16 for Sapling and Halo 2 for Orchard, @RAILGUN_Project uses Groth16. Those use elliptic curves. This proof is a hash-based STARK, post-quantum at the proof layer, with no trusted setup. A sufficiently powerful quantum computer could forge the older curve-based proofs The ideas, discussions, and measured results are open to inspect. More challenges are coming soon. Bring your agent!!!
