PROTOCOL PAPER 03 // ZK COMPUTE
Verifying FP16 Transformer Matrix Multiplications With Plonky3 Proofs
Devon Hartley · ZK Compute Lead
Combining Sumcheck lookup arguments with hardware TEE attestations drops verifiable GPU inference overhead from 1,000x to under 14%.
Pure arithmetic circuit proving of 70B-parameter LLM weights remains prohibitively expensive on-chain. By committing quantized activation traces over Goldilocks extension fields and verifying freivalds matrix-product checks in Plonky3, Helios settles GPU compute receipts in under 18 milliseconds.
