Vitalik Buterin Proposes Recursive STARK Mempool to Ease Quantum and Privacy Scaling on Ethereum
- —Post-quantum signature verification could cost 100k–300k gas
- —Privacy proofs consume hundreds of thousands to millions of gas
- —Mempool nodes would aggregate signatures and proofs into one proof
- —L2 proof submission frequency could rise from minutes to once a minute
Why it matters: The design could make post-quantum and privacy transactions cheaper and speed up L2 proof submission, though it remains a proposal in simulation and testing.
