By exploring various proving systems - including Binius, Spartan, Plonky2, Scribe, and WHIR - we provide benchmarks, insights, and optimized implementations that enable performant client-side applications. +The Client-Side Proving project aims to develop practical and efficient implementations and tooling for zero-knowledge (ZK) proving systems tailored specifically for mobile devices. By exploring various proving systems we provide benchmarks, insights, and optimized implementations that enable performant client-side applications. ### Objective -Our primary objective is to identify and optimize ZK proof systems that require minimal resources, have no trusted setup, and maintain post-quantum security. These efforts are particularly focused on supporting applications in digital identity, secure communications, and privacy-preserving credential management. +We publish the CSP Quarterly Report, which benchmarks zkVMs and ZKP stacks for mobile feasibility. In parallel, we research promising ZKP stacks, prioritizing transparent (no-setup), post-quantum–sound ZKP systems with direct on-chain verification. All evaluations respect realistic mobile RAM budgets - under 4 GB on Android and 6 GB on iPhone. ### Project Status - **Stage:** MVP Development - **Status:** Active - **Team Lead:** Alex Kuzmin -- **Team Members:** Guorong Du +- **Team Members:** Guorong Du, Brechy ### Technical Approach -The project rigorously benchmarks mobile-friendly ZK proving systems based on critical criteria including computational complexity, RAM efficiency and proof size.
