Starknet's STRK token has surged over 70% in the past week, reaching a new high for the second half of 2025. This spike follows the release of StarkWare's fully open-source S-Two prover, which enhances transaction speed, privacy, and decentralization by generating off-chain zero-knowledge proofs before settlement on the Ethereum mainnet. Despite this recent surge, STRK would need to increase fivefold to return to its peak in Q4 2024. Starknet leverages quantum-resistant STARK technology to scale Ethereum, although it remains non-compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM).
