Cairo: The Rust-Inspired Language Powering Ethereum Scaling with STARK Proofs | Scalability Series

Welcome to the Scalability Series, where we uncover how StarkWare is paving the way to Ethereum's future!
Today, we uncover how Cairo scales Ethereum.
TL;DWatch

👉 Cairo is a Rust-inspired programming language optimized for provability and performance.
👉 It abstracts STARKs to simplify how the computation is described.
👉 It allows any developer to use STARK proofs.
👉 You can build any computationally intensive application, like a DeFi protocol or a fully on-chain game.
👉 STARK proofs are created inside the CairoVM, which runs the CPU AIR [Cpu AIR(O)].
👉 The Arithmetic Intermediate Representation (AIR) turns Cairo computation into a suitable proving format for the prover.
👉 Start with Cairo by looking at the resources below.

#StarkWare is revolutionizing #Ethereum #Scaling with their groundbreaking programming language, #Cairo. This #RustInspired language is optimized for provability and performance, making it easier for developers to harness the power of #STARKProofs. By abstracting STARKs, Cairo simplifies the process of describing computations, enabling any developer to integrate STARK proofs into their applications. This opens up a world of possibilities for building computationally intensive applications, such as #DeFi protocols and fully #OnChainGaming experiences. At the heart of Cairo's functionality lies the #CairoVM, which runs the CPU AIR [Cpu AIR(O)]. The Arithmetic Intermediate Representation (#AIR) is responsible for transforming Cairo computations into a format suitable for the prover, ensuring efficient and secure proof generation. With Cairo, StarkWare is empowering developers to push the boundaries of what's possible on the Ethereum network, ushering in a new era of scalability and innovation.
