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. ### 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. ### Project Status - **Stage:** MVP Development - **Status:** Active - **Team Lead:** Alex Kuzmin - **Team Members:** Guorong Du ### Technical Approach The project rigorously benchmarks mobile-friendly ZK proving systems based on critical criteria including computational complexity, RAM efficiency and proof size. Key innovations and strategies include: - **Benchmarking Binius, Spartan, Plonky2, and Scribe** for mobile usability. - **Optimizing RAM usage** through streaming techniques. - **Evaluation and integration of lookups** to enhance proving efficiency in computationally intensive ZK circuits. ### Milestones - **April 2025:** Established baseline benchmarks for common mobile hardware. - **May 2025 (planned):** Comprehensive benchmarking results published for selected ZK proving systems. - **June 2025 (planned):** Optimization of Spartan using WHIR PCS and/or Scribe's read-write streaming techniques. - **Q3 2025 (planned):** Collaboration with an Identity initiative, integrating optimized proving systems. ### Applications Client-Side Proving enables numerous privacy-focused mobile applications, including: - Mobile Digital ID wallets ensuring user privacy. - Anonymous online communication and collaboration tools. ### How to get in touch - Join the [PSE Discord](https://discord.com/invite/sF5CT5rzrR) - Reach out via email Alex: alex.kuzmin@pse.dev or Guorong Du: dgr009@pse.dev ### Publications - [Benchmarks for Digital ID Wallet](https://hackmd.io/@clientsideproving/S1wiUc0n1e) - [Mobile Hardware Survey](https://hackmd.io/@clientsideproving/ByqafXAv1e) - [Plonky2 Sha256 Benchmarks](https://hackmd.io/@clientsideproving/B1xLCuJL5yg) - [Proof Systems Survey](https://hackmd.io/@clientsideproving/HyKBkz7jye) Benchmark findings and technical write-ups will be released regularly, highlighting the project's research outcomes and performance evaluations. `, }, } export const clientSideProving: ProjectInterface = { id: "client-side-proving", category: ProjectCategory.RESEARCH, section: "pse", content, projectStatus: ProjectStatus.ACTIVE, image: "", license: "MIT", name: "Client-Side Proving", tags: { keywords: ["Zero Knowledge", "Mobile", "Privacy", "Digital Identity"], themes: ["build", "research"], types: ["Legos/dev tools", "Benchmarking", "Proof systems"], }, extraLinks: {}, }
