QuantaStark measures the cost of post-quantum proofs on QRL

Editorial interest 79/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

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.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-26 issue.

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.
