Our AI-Powered Tuning Methodology
Our systematic approach combines deep protocol expertise with machine learning to deliver provably optimal prover performance, reducing your infrastructure costs and improving user experience.
Performance Benchmarking & Baseline
We establish a comprehensive performance baseline by analyzing your current Cairo execution traces, identifying bottlenecks in arithmetic, memory, and storage operations. This data-driven foundation is critical for measuring optimization impact.
Constraint System Optimization
Our AI models analyze the R1CS (Rank-1 Constraint System) to identify redundant constraints and optimize polynomial representations. This directly reduces prover workload and computational overhead.
Memory & Storage Pattern Analysis
We apply pattern recognition to optimize Cairo's memory model access patterns and storage interactions, minimizing expensive Merkle tree updates and sequential read/write operations.
Gas Cost Simulation & Prediction
Using historical data and transaction simulation, our models predict L1 settlement costs under different network conditions, allowing for fee optimization and batch size tuning.
Continuous Integration Pipeline
We integrate optimization checks into your CI/CD pipeline, automatically validating performance gains and security post-optimization before deployment to mainnet.
Ongoing Monitoring & Tuning
Post-deployment, our systems monitor prover performance metrics, automatically suggesting parameter adjustments for new transaction patterns and network upgrades.
Business Outcomes: Faster Proofs, Lower Costs
Our Cairo StarkNet prover tuning service delivers measurable improvements to your zero-knowledge proof infrastructure. We focus on the metrics that directly impact your bottom line and user experience.
Accelerated Proof Generation
We optimize Cairo execution and proof generation pipelines to reduce latency by up to 40-60%. Faster proofs mean quicker transaction finality and a more responsive application for your end-users.
Reduced Proving Costs
Through targeted optimization of Cairo constraints and circuit logic, we significantly lower the computational resources required per proof, directly decreasing your operational expenses on L1 settlement.
Enhanced System Throughput
Our tuning increases the number of proofs your system can process per second. This scalability is critical for handling peak loads and supporting business growth without infrastructure bottlenecks.
Production-Ready Reliability
We implement robust monitoring, automated failover, and comprehensive testing strategies. Our goal is 99.9%+ uptime for your proving service, ensuring consistent performance for your users.

Our 4-Phase Tuning Process
A systematic, data-driven approach to maximize your Cairo StarkNet prover's performance, reducing costs and accelerating transaction finality. We deliver measurable improvements at each stage.
Phase 1: Performance Audit & Benchmarking
We conduct a comprehensive analysis of your current Cairo prover setup. This includes profiling computational bottlenecks, analyzing Cairo-CASM compilation, and establishing baseline metrics for proof generation time and cost.
Phase 2: Cairo-CASM Compiler Optimization
Deep tuning of the Cairo to CASM compilation pipeline. We apply targeted optimizations to reduce AIR (Algebraic Intermediate Representation) constraints and streamline the execution trace, directly lowering prover workload.
Phase 3: Prover Configuration & Hardware Tuning
Optimizing the Stone Prover (or alternative) configuration for your specific workload. We fine-tune parameters like FRI steps, proof-of-work bits, and parallelization strategies, often leveraging specialized hardware (CPU/GPU) for optimal throughput.
Phase 4: Integration & Continuous Monitoring
We deploy the optimized configuration into your staging and production environments. We establish monitoring dashboards for proof generation metrics and provide guidelines for maintaining performance as your application scales.

Cairo Prover Tuning: Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear, technical answers to the most common questions about optimizing your StarkNet prover performance with Chainscore Labs.
A standard engagement for prover optimization and gas cost reduction takes 2-4 weeks from initial audit to final deployment. This includes a 1-week performance audit, 1-2 weeks of targeted optimization (circuit logic, constraint system, Cairo hints), and a final week for integration testing and deployment. Complex protocols with custom Cairo components may extend this timeline, which we scope precisely during the discovery phase.
