Welcome to the Scalability Series, where we uncover how StarkWare is paving the way to Ethereum’s future!

Today, we uncover how SHARP scales Ethereum.

TL;DWatch

👉 SHARP is a proving system that takes a program execution and outputs a STARK proof, attesting to its validity.
👉 Applications share the same STARK proof at one point in time. The state change they cause is validated by the Solidity verifier contract on the mainnet.
👉 SHARP used to operate on a linear schedule: SHARP would wait for enough Cairo jobs to arrive in the system to create the STARK proof.
👉 SHARP now operates on a recursive schedule: Cairo jobs are proven as they arrive in the system.
👉 Recursive scheduling leads to faster and larger proofs, enhancing the network and the number of transactions being sent to the L1
