Odaily News StarkWare has partnered with Cartridge to launch ZKThreads, a new scaling framework based on ZK execution sharding. ZKThreads aims to solve the fragmentation problem by providing a standardized development environment that supports verifiable applications. ZKThreads will be particularly beneficial for high-performance DApps, such as blockchain games and DEX on Starknet. Cartridge will initially use ZKThreads to scale blockchain games. The estimated development time for ZKThreads is expected to be 9 months, after which it will be implemented on the testnet. At the core of the ZKThreads architecture are several basic components: batchers, provers, and various contracts that handle application logic and state changes on networks such as Starknet. This setup is designed to ensure that transactions on Starknet are both accurate and available. (The Block)
