Blockchain network Starknet has revealed plans to enhance the decentralization of its ZK-proof rollup solution. The protocol currently relies on StarkWare for certain key components, resulting in a centralized operation. However, this is seen as a temporary situation until full decentralization is achieved. StarkWare is unable to steal funds or execute invalid state transitions because they require verification on the Ethereum blockchain. The protocol can only be idle or censor certain parties from including transactions or proofs. To combat deliberate censorship and single point failures, Starknet aims to decentralize different aspects of its protocol, such as block production, the proving layer, and L1 state updates. Decentralizing block production has been the most straightforward, while decentralizing the proving layer has required a more innovative approach. Starknet intends to test and implement these decentralized mechanics through a series of interconnected testnets. Read more AI-generated news on: https://app.chaingpt.org/news
