QuantaStark measures the cost of post-quantum proofs on QRL
A research project implementing a Plonky3-compatible STARK verifier for the QRL 2.0 virtual machine, with gas measurements, test vectors, and an L2 bridge skeleton.
Field notes
The project compares proof presets by both complete transaction cost and gas consumed inside the verifier, rather than presenting a single headline benchmark. Its measurements cover 44 cells under three optimizer settings, while the accompanying notes identify transaction-pool size as a practical constraint: proofs above roughly 123 KB may require a raised limit or staged verification. The verifier and Rust prover are accompanied by recorded vectors and mutation tests.
