🚀 CAIRO 1.0 General Prize - $28,300

Context:

The launch of CAIRO 1.0 unveils a realm of new capabilities. It introduces an improved syntax, inspired by Rust, that not only refines but also simplifies the coding experience. Key features like return statements, mutable variables, and pattern matching are among the standout improvements.

Moreover, CAIRO 1.0 is accompanied by a completely revamped core library that has been reengineered to be more developer-friendly. With the inclusion of features such as arrays, dictionaries, a panic function, integer types, and assertions, this library boosts the clarity and readability of the code. These enhancements streamline the programming process, making it considerably easier and more efficient.

StarkWare, Flowdesk and zkLend are interested in new innovative & high-quality projects that effectively leverage the capabilities of CAIRO 1.0 and its new features.
