Polygon Labs and StarkWare have formed a significant collaboration to create 'Circle STARKs', aimed at enhancing blockchain scalability and efficiency.

The new cryptographic proof, Circle STARKs, is expected to offer a 7-10x improvement in performance for zero-knowledge rollup technology.

This innovative partnership is a strategic move in the Ethereum scaling ecosystem, underlining the industry's focus on technological progress.

Polygon's upcoming Plonky3 proving system will incorporate Circle STARKs, leading to reduced transaction fees and broadening the range of feasible applications.

The alliance of these two blockchain competitors is anticipated to make a lasting impact on the development of proving systems.
