ZK proofs verify exploit possession without leaking details until a time-locked deadline.

Strengths
  • •Combines SP1 STARKs, Drand time-locks, and Sigstore Rekor for verifiable disclosure.
  • •Solves trust gaps between researchers and vendors without premature exploit leakage.
  • •Rust implementation provides binaries for proving and verifying bundles locally.
Weaknesses
  • •Explicitly experimental v0.1; bundle format and semantics are not stable.
  • •Niche appeal limited to security researchers comfortable with heavy cryptographic tooling.
