2018: The original STARK paper is published.
2021: Starknet launches, using STARKs to scale Ethereum.
2021: Facebook open-sources Winterfell, a general-purpose STARK prover and verifier.
2026: Google & Europol highlight STARKs in their research on post-quantum blockchain security.
2026: Anthropic builds on STARK cryptography to make AI inference verifiable with FlashProve.
Very interesting trajectory.

10K downloads is an amazing milestone! And I'm not surprised at all.
An SDK that simplifies building DeFi apps and adding privacy to them -- what's not to like?
Wen 20K?

Starkzap is the easiest way to go from zero to building with privacy on Starknet.
One SDK now lets developers add shielded balances, private transfers and private DeFi without building the privacy layer themselves.

note to everyone coming to the @starkware x @starknet bunker autoresearch event.
5/ So, what are you waiting for to bring privacy to your users' lives?
From wallets and financial apps to entirely new onchain experiences, Starkzap makes building on Starknet easier than ever.
Bring privacy to your next project: starkzap.io/
In 2018, our founders invented STARKs. We then put them into production to scale blockchains and bring privacy onchain.
Now Anthropic is building on that same cryptography to make AI inference verifiable.
Love seeing STARK research find new applications beyond blockchains.
New Anthropic research: progress on provable inference for large language models.
Here, we introduce FlashProve. Building on established cryptographic techniques, FlashProve allows developers to verify whether a given response came from a given AI model. It’s substantially more efficient than prior open-source methods for doing so.
These proofs have a range of applications. They can, for instance, make it harder for attackers to hijack a chat, or enable safety evaluators to verify that the model they’re testing is the same one being served to customers.
For our full write-up, see here: anthropic.com/research/prova…
Further progress in provable inference will likely be an important part of improving trust in AI deployment. To that end, we're open-sourcing FlashProve’s code, here: github.com/anthropics/FlashP…
We’re grateful to our collaborators: Alessandro Chiesa, @GiacomoFenzi, @gwberg95, @miranda__christ, Rahul Dalal (rdalal.github.io) and Ben Mayer (@transmissions11).
Anthropic is using cryptography StarkWare’s founders co-invented to prove which AI model answered you.
With FlashProve, you can verify that a specific model produced an output while keeping its weights private.
The report cites the original STARK paper, highlights the use of STARKs on @Starknet, and references formal verification work on Cairo and the S-two AIR. StarkWare co-founder Alessandro Chiesa is one of the report’s co-authors.
Another big validation for our Proving System.
The same cryptographic ideas that help scale blockchains are now helping make AI inference verifiable.

Programmable privacy at planetary scale, built for a post-quantum world.
Starknet is the endgame.
Hear it directly from @EliBenSasson.

October has been our best month by far at @SuperVegaXYZ 🔥
Glad to become the home of more and more option traders everyday
Onward -> Better UI, more assets, more options
