CSChristopher Schulze

Key Points

  • The central aim is to create a transparent verification layer that unifies different zero-knowledge proof systems on Ethereum.
  • Developed a universal adapter surface for compatibility with various proof systems.
  • Implemented UCIR compilation to enhance verification processes.
  • Designed a chain-bound artifact interface for stateless verification.
  • Conducted benchmarks on testnet receipts to evaluate performance.
  • Achieved a total gas consumption of 29.45k for transactions in recorded testnet receipts.
  • Unified the verification process for SNARK and STARK systems while maintaining upstream assumptions.

Abstract

GLYPH is a transparent verification layer for Ethereum for trustless on-chain verification of heterogeneous proof systems. It unifies upstream SNARK and STARK settlement through a single packed arity-8 sumcheck verifier over p = 2¹28 - 159, while preserving upstream assumptions. The design centers on a universal adapter surface, UCIR compilation, and a chain-bound artifact interface for stateless verification. Benchmark evidence in the whitepaper reports 29. 45k total transaction gas in recorded testnet receipts. This record includes the whitepaper and the formal proof appendix.
