Core Circuit Capabilities We Deliver
Our custom-built zk-SNARK circuits provide the cryptographic backbone for secure, scalable, and cost-efficient decentralized storage proofs. We translate complex verification logic into optimized circuits that deliver tangible business results.
Proof-of-Storage Circuit Design
We architect custom zk-SNARK circuits that cryptographically verify data availability and integrity on decentralized storage networks like Filecoin and Arweave. This enables you to prove data is stored without revealing the data itself, ensuring privacy and reducing on-chain verification costs by over 90%.
Multi-Protocol Proof Aggregation
Our circuits aggregate storage proofs from multiple protocols (e.g., Filecoin's PoRep, Arweave's PoA) into a single, verifiable claim. This simplifies your application logic, reduces gas fees for on-chain settlement, and provides a unified trust layer for cross-chain data verification.
Real-Time Proof Generation & Batching
We implement high-performance proving systems capable of generating and batching proofs in sub-30 seconds. This enables real-time verification for applications like decentralized CDNs, NFT metadata validation, and on-demand data retrieval, ensuring low-latency user experiences.
On-Chain Verification & Settlement
We deliver lightweight, gas-optimized Solidity verifier contracts that validate your zk proofs on Ethereum L1/L2. This provides a tamper-proof, trust-minimized settlement layer for storage-based slashing conditions, insurance payouts, and automated compliance checks.
Custom Merkle Tree & Commitment Schemes
We design and implement specialized Merkle tree structures (e.g., Verkle, Sparse Merkle) and polynomial commitment schemes tailored for your data model. This optimizes proof size and verification speed for large-scale datasets, directly impacting your operational costs.
Business Outcomes for Your Storage Application
Our Decentralized Storage Proof ZK Circuits deliver verifiable, trustless infrastructure. Here are the concrete outcomes you can build on.
Trustless Data Integrity
Prove file existence and integrity on decentralized storage (IPFS, Arweave, Filecoin) without relying on the provider's honesty. Eliminate counterparty risk for critical data.
Reduced Operational Cost
Replace expensive centralized attestation services and manual audits with automated, cryptographic proof generation. Slash verification overhead.
Regulatory & Compliance Readiness
Generate immutable, court-admissible proof of data custody and history. Meet data provenance requirements for financial services and enterprise clients.
Enhanced User Trust & Adoption
Provide end-users with cryptographic proof their data is stored as promised. Build transparent applications that drive higher engagement and retention.
Faster Time-to-Market
Integrate production-ready ZK circuits for storage proofs in weeks, not months. Leverage our battle-tested libraries for IPFS CID verification and Merkle proofs.

Our ZK Circuit Development Process
We deliver production-ready, verifiable storage proofs through a rigorous, four-phase development lifecycle designed for security, auditability, and seamless integration.
1. Architecture & Specification
We translate your storage logic (e.g., IPFS, Filecoin, Arweave) into a formal ZK circuit specification. This includes defining constraints, selecting the optimal proving system (Groth16, Plonk, Halo2), and planning for gas-efficient on-chain verification.
2. Circuit Implementation & Optimization
Our engineers write and optimize the circuit logic in Circom, Noir, or Halo2. We focus on minimizing constraint count and prover time, implementing custom gates where necessary, and ensuring compatibility with your chosen proving backend.
3. Security Audit & Trust Setup
Every circuit undergoes a multi-layered security review, including formal verification of constraints and a dedicated cryptographic audit. We manage the trusted setup ceremony (Perpetual Powers of Tau) or implement transparent setups as required.
4. Integration & Proving Infrastructure
We deploy the verifier smart contract (Solidity/Vyper) and provide a high-performance proving service or SDK. This includes monitoring, key management, and load-balanced prover clusters for sub-5 second proof generation.
Custom Smart Contract Development
Secure, production-ready smart contracts built by Web3 specialists to power your core protocol logic.
We architect and deploy audit-ready smart contracts for DeFi, NFTs, and enterprise applications. Our development process ensures gas-optimized code and adherence to the latest security standards like OpenZeppelin and Solmate.
From tokenomics design to complex protocol logic, we deliver contracts that are secure, efficient, and maintainable.
- End-to-End Development: Full lifecycle from specification and
Solidity/Rustcoding to testing and mainnet deployment. - Security-First: Rigorous internal review, formal verification, and preparation for third-party audits.
- Protocol Integration: Seamless integration with oracles (
Chainlink), bridges, and existing DeFi infrastructure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Get clear answers on our development process, security, and delivery for custom zero-knowledge circuits that prove data integrity on decentralized storage networks.
A standard circuit for a specific storage proof (e.g., proving a file is stored on Filecoin or Arweave) typically takes 4-6 weeks from specification to production-ready audit. Complex multi-protocol proofs or novel cryptographic constructions can extend to 8-12 weeks. We provide a detailed project plan with weekly milestones during the scoping phase.
