EIP1923 - zk-SNARK Verifier Registry Standard

# Simple Summary

A standard interface for a "Verifier Registry"'" contract, through which all zk-SNARK verification activity can be registered.

# Abstract

The following standard allows for the implementation of a standard contract API for the registration of zk-SNARKs ("Zero-Knowledge Succinct Non-Interactive Arguments of Knowledge"), also known as "proofs", "arguments", or "commitments".

TODO: Which functionality is exposed in this standard interface?

# Motivation

zk-SNARKs are a promising area of interest for the Ethereum community. Key applications of zk-SNARKs include:

  • Private transactions
  • Private computations
  • Ethereum scaling through proofs of 'bundled' transactions

A standard interface for registering all zk-SNARKs will allow applications to more easily implement private transactions, private contracts, and scaling solutions; and to extract and interpret the limited information which gets emitted during zk-SNARK verifications.

⚠️ TODO: Explain the motivation for standardizing a registry, other than simply standardizing the verifier interactions.

⚠️ TODO: Explain the benefits to and perspective of a consumer of information. I.e. the thing that interfaces with the standard verifier registry.

# Specification

The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.

# Test Cases

Truffle tests of example implementations are included in this Repo.

⚠️ TODO: Reference specific test cases because there are many currently in the repository.

# Implementations

Detailed example implementations and Truffle tests of these example implementations are included in this Repo.

⚠️ TODO: Update referenced verifier registry implementations so that they are ready-to-deploy or reference deployed versions of those implementations. At current, the referenced code specifically states "DO NOT USE THIS IN PRODUCTION".

⚠️ TODO: Provide reference to an implementation which interrogates a standard verifier registry contract that implements this standard.
