Problem
STARK verification is often wrapped in SNARKs to fit EVM gas constraints, adding trusted setup assumptions, proving overhead, and system complexity.
Build / award
Arbitrum APAC Mini Hackathon 1st-place build demonstrating direct STARK verification on Stylus.
STARK verification is often wrapped in SNARKs to fit EVM gas constraints, adding trusted setup assumptions, proving overhead, and system complexity.
