Z-CORP-Experiment-Artifacts

Abstract

This dataset accompanies the paper An Architectural and Empirical Study of Root-Only Zero-Knowledge Verification and contains the scripts, intermediate artifacts, and published results used to reproduce the empirical evaluation. The repository is organized around two experiment groups: Blockchain-Side Deployment and Verification: deployment and Groth16 proof verification on Ethereum Sepolia and zkSync Sepolia, including contract sources, Merkle-tree inputs, Groth16 proofs, and blockchain measurement CSVs and figures. ZKP proving and off-chain verification: Constraint-count comparison — Groth16 R1CS constraint counts and expanded PLONK gate counts for Merkle-tree depths 5–15, with measurement scripts and summary CSVs/figures. Proving-time comparison — off-chain Groth16 and PLONK proving benchmarks across depths 5–15, including proving scripts, generated witness/proof/key artifacts, and benchmark CSVs/figures.
