StarkWare Says Falcon-512 Verification Uses 24.2 Million Gas

StarkWare said it upgraded Falcon-512 verification on Starknet to use 24.2 million gas, which it described as half the effort’s original benchmark of 48.4 million gas.

The 48.4 million-gas figure was the challenge’s starting benchmark, not the measurement immediately before this upgrade. The 24.2 million figure applies to the verification step, not the fee for a complete account transaction.

Falcon-512 is a post-quantum signature scheme. On Starknet, signature checks run inside account contracts, which lets individual accounts use different verification methods without a network-wide fork. TokenPost previously explained how Starknet handles signature verification at the account level.
