zkHotdog
The problem zkHotdog ๐ญ๐โ solves ๐ Measurement fraud and disputes cost billions annually ๐ Traditional measurements lack cryptographic verification ๐ No privacy-preserving way to prove measurements ๐ญ How do you verify real-world measurements without revealing sensitive data? User Interaction and Data Flow zkHotdog enables verifiable measurements with zero-knowledge proofs! ๐ฑ Open the iOS app, measure with AR, submit for ZK proof on-chain, verify via AI Agent. ๐น Private? Always. ๐น Verifiable? Absolutely. ๐น Trustless? By design. The project architecture and development process ๐๏ธ Project Architecture & Development Process ๐ง Core Architecture zkHotdog is a decentralized measurement verification system powered by zero-knowledge proofs, AR technology, blockchain attestations, and AI verification for tamper-proof, privacy-preserving measurements.

AR-Powered Zero-Knowledge Measurements ๐๐ zkHotdog combines AR technology with zero-knowledge proofs to create verifiable measurements without revealing raw data. Unlike conventional measuring tools, zkHotdog provides cryptographic guarantees of measurement integrity. Decentralized Verification Network ๐โ Leverages EigenLayer operators for distributed verification rather than relying on a centralized authority. Creates a tamper-proof record of measurements that can be verified by anyone. AI-Enhanced Validation ๐ค๐๏ธ Uses GPT-4o to analyze measurement images and ensure anchor points are properly placed. Significantly reduces user error and enhances measurement accuracy. On-Chain Attestation with Privacy ๐๐ก๏ธ Issues NFTs representing verified measurements while keeping the underlying data private. Creates permanent, immutable records of verified measurements for future reference. Trade-offs and shortcuts while building โ๏ธ Trade-offs & Shortcuts While Building โณ Development Trade-offs & Quick Fixes iOS-First Approach Over Cross-Platform ๐ฑ We prioritized a high-quality iOS implementation using ARKit rather than building for multiple platforms. Future versions will expand to Android using ARCore technology. Simplified Circuit Design ๐ The current ZK circuit handles basic measurement verification, but could be expanded to include more complex geometric relationships. We optimized for proving speed over handling all possible edge cases. EigenLayer Testing Limitations ๐งช We used a simplified operator registration for hackathon purposes, with plans to expand the staking model for production use. ๐ฎ Future Optimizations & Enhancements Multi-Object Measurement โ Expand capabilities to verify relationships between multiple measured objects simultaneously. Create compound proofs that attest to complex spatial relationships. Supply Chain Verification ๐ฆ Integrate with logistics systems to provide verified measurements for shipping and inventory. Enable batch verification of multiple items with efficient proof aggregation. Standardized Measurement Credentials ๐๏ธ Develop a standardized format for measurement credentials that can be recognized across industries. Build an ecosystem where zkHotdog measurements are accepted as legal proof of dimension.
