Evaluating Client-Side Proving Systems

Participants will use the EthProofs client-side proving benchmarks to evaluate proving systems for concrete application scenarios. Starting from an application’s workload, resource constraints, and security requirements, they will identify relevant benchmark results, narrow down candidate systems, and explain their choices. Comparisons will consider performance, memory use, proof and prover artifact sizes, verification costs, and system properties such as zero knowledge and post-quantum soundness. The workshop will also address what the published measurements do not establish and what needs testing for the actual application. Exercises use existing benchmark data; no prover installation is required.
