Starknet is inviting contributors to pursue smaller STARK proofs as part of an effort to improve efficiency and scalability.

Those benefits are goals of the effort, not reported network improvements. The challenge does not announce a completed reduction in proof size or network costs.

A separate challenge focuses on quantum-safe signatures. Both challenges are open to community contributions.
