StarkWare deploys S-two prover on Starknet mainnet to enhance speed and privacy
According to ChainCatcher, as reported by The Block, StarkWare has deployed its next-generation open-source S-two prover on the Starknet mainnet, which the company claims is currently the fastest and most privacy-preserving proof system in production.
This upgrade replaces the network's previous proof component and now generates validity proofs for each block, reducing proof time and verification costs, while increasing throughput and scalability without sacrificing trustlessness. S-two (short for "STARK Two") generates zero-knowledge proofs 10 times faster than the previous system, making previously uneconomical workloads such as real-time trading engines and zero-knowledge machine learning inference possible by lowering proof costs and increasing block capacity.

Deutsche Bank: After the three major central banks hiked rates simultaneously, the market may once again underestimate the terminal interest rate
Deutsche Bank points out that as central banks in the US, Europe, and Japan are tightening policy simultaneously, the market may still be underpricing the eventual terminal rates. With oil prices remaining high, inflation may spill over into core inflation and wages. Moreover, financial conditions have not tightened in tandem, which could weaken the effect of rate hikes. Citing the experience of 2022, Deutsche Bank notes that the market then expected a total of around 200 basis points of Fed rate hikes in the first year, but the final figure exceeded 400 basis points, illustrating that the market often underestimates the terminal rate.
