Features

• REST API for execution, proof generation, and verification.
• Pluggable Backend Support: Leverages Ere for backend integration.

Quick Start

The easiest way to start is by running the GITHUB_TOKEN=<github-token> RUST_LOG=info cargo test --package zkboost-server --test stateless_validator -- --zkvm sp1 --resource cpu.

The GITHUB_TOKEN is needed to download compiled artifact from repo eth-act/zkevm-benchmark-workload.

Manual Build

Prerequisites

• Rust ≥ 1.88

# 1. Clone
git clone https://github.com/eth-act/zkboost.git && cd zkboost

# 2. Run
cargo run --release

API

The following endpoints are available:

Endpoint	Method	Purpose
/info	GET	Get server and system information
/execute	POST	Run program and get execution metrics
/prove	POST	Generate proof for a program with inputs
/verify	POST	Verify a previously generated proof

Supported Backends

zkboost uses Ere for backend integration. Not all backends will be integrated, however since the API for Ere is uniform, it is easy to add backends already supported by Ere.
