StarkWare’s Expansion Plans and Commitment to Ethereum Scaling

StarkWare, the entity behind Starknet, has made a groundbreaking announcement regarding its plans to expand its scaling technology to the Bitcoin network. Contrary to speculation, StarkWare clarified that this expansion will not result in Starknet being forked or the creation of a new token.

While StarkWare is primarily known for scaling Ethereum through validity rollups and ZK Proofs, the company’s co-founder, Eli Ben-Sasson, has always harbored a desire to scale Bitcoin using STARK proofs. This vision is now becoming a reality as StarkWare aims to connect Starknet to the Bitcoin network.

Despite concerns that StarkWare could fork Starknet, the company reassured the community that its focus remains on enhancing the efficiency of Ethereum scaling. Starknet will serve both Ethereum and Bitcoin without creating a new layer or token exclusively for Bitcoin. Instead, it will act as an execution layer that scales both blockchains simultaneously.

The complexities of upgrading Bitcoin are well-known, as the network lacks a clear upgrade process or protocol. However, StarkWare is championing the activation of OP_CAT, a feature originally introduced by Satoshi Nakamoto. With StarkWare’s backing, there is optimism that this upgrade could be activated this year.

StarkWare’s plan to bring ZK scaling to the Bitcoin network is part of a larger effort to address scalability issues faced by leading blockchains. This development marks an exciting step forward in the world of blockchain technology.
