Vitalik and StarkWare-backed Kakarot launch new Ethereum ZK solution based on STARK

Odaily News Vitalik and StarkWare-backed Kakarot announced the development of an independent Ethereum zero-knowledge proof (ZK) stack, and plans to achieve real-time Layer 1 block proof by the end of 2025. Kakarot is built on the Cairo language and uses the STARK system to avoid dependence on the existing mainstream ZK technology stack. It aims to enhance the diversity and system resilience of Ethereum ZK verification and help achieve Ethereum's goal of full ZK in 2028. (The Block)
