No result is reported yet: contributors are being asked to look for ways to make STARK proofs smaller, while a second open challenge concerns quantum-safe signatures.
The initiative is framed as work toward efficiency and scalability, rather than a completed upgrade. No proof-size reduction or cut in network costs is reported. Community members can also take part in a distinct effort on quantum-safe signatures.
The signature work is separate from Starknet’s earlier governance question about a possible independent post-quantum Layer 1. A nonbinding poll on studying that option asked STRK holders whether to examine it; the poll did not approve a network transition. The current challenge concerns signature work, not a decision on Starknet’s Layer 1 structure.
