We’ve now processed over 100 zk-STARK verification cycles in a live environment with an average settlement time below 350ms, including state transition and proof finalization.
Recent improvements include:
Batch verification pipeline with adaptive proof aggregation
Optimized circuit commit / reveal flow for x402 payment requests
Settlement timing reduced via parallelized witness generation
Updated facilitator workers to support multi chain confirmation
Internal latency profiling for proof commitment, seal, and return path

x402 StarkLite CLI — First Look
We’re introducing the early preview of x402 StarkLite CLI, a lightweight command-line interface for generating and verifying zk-STARK proofs directly from the terminal.
This module focuses on giving developers a minimal, fast, and transparent way to interact with the x402 proof stack:
Initialization of the StarkLiteContext with 128-bit trace security
Deterministic zk-STARK proof generation with size + cycle breakdown
Local proof verification flow with structured output
Modular architecture designed to plug into the HyperLayer pipeline (Proof Engine → Router → Payment Layer)
StarkLite CLI is part of the ongoing effort to modularize our cryptographic stack, enabling smaller systems, local agents, and constrained environments to run x402-compatible proofs without full node overhead.
More updates soon as we finalize the StarkLite runtime, WASM target, and proof batching support.

How x402 HyperLayer Processes Encrypted Payments in <300ms
Across Solana, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, Sei & more.
Here’s the full breakdown of how an encrypted x402 request travels through our infra from agent → settlement → verification without ever exposing plaintext data:
1️⃣ Encrypted Agent Request
An autonomous x402-enabled AI agent initiates an encrypted action (payment / routing / auth).
All computation happens directly on ciphertext no decryption step anywhere.
2️⃣ HyperLayer Router
Our router receives the encrypted payload and automatically chooses the most optimal chain for cost + speed.
No configuration needed.
No API keys.
Just a single encrypted request.
3️⃣ Multi-Chain Settlement Engine
The request is forwarded to the selected chain (Solana, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, Sei, etc.).
gasless execution
1–subsecond finality on supported networks
unified cross-chain settlement via one interface
4️⃣ zk-STARK Proof Generation
The encrypted computation is wrapped into a compact zk-STARK validity proof, making the result verifiable without exposing any private data.
5️⃣ Storage Layer (IPFS + DB)
We store ciphertext patterns + proof hashes on decentralized storage for immutability.
Real-time analytics track latency, routing accuracy, and encrypted-agent behaviour all without revealing user data.
6️⃣ Wallet / Agent Receiver
Funds or actions arrive instantly in the receiving wallet/agent
(SOL, SPL, ETH, ERC-20, Base tokens, etc.),
ready for autonomous follow up routing.
💡 Why it matters
A single encrypted x402 request triggers multi-chain routing, gasless settlement, zk-STARK verification, and decentralized proof storage all in under a second.
This is the execution layer for encrypted Web3 agents and privacy-first machine-to-machine payments.

Quoting @EliBenSasson - “it’s szn time to ship real zk stuff” here’s my small contribution to that spirit.
Just shipped the first working build of HyperLayer, a minimal privacy dApp inspired by the principles behind zk-STARKs:
• client-side zk-style identity generation
• STARK-like “no trusted setup” approach to key material
• auto wallet derivation
• real-time global lounge with full E2EE
• USDC send with local signing
The backend only sees ciphertext all secrets stay on the user’s device.
Still early, but the foundation feels right.
Next up: multi channel encrypted groups, user-to-user E2EE, zk-verified sessions, and a more robust privacy stack built around STARK-friendly patterns.
Quiet shipping. Consistent progress.

Repo is currently being prepared cleaning up the codebase, structuring the cryptography modules, and adding proper documentation so it fits well within the zk-STARK ecosystem.
The goal is to publish it as a lightweight privacy stack starter:
client-side identity, STARK-inspired keygen, encrypted messaging, and local signing flows.
Will share the repo soon once everything is polished.

HyperLayer Our Full zk-STARK Protocol Stack Is Now Live
Today we’re excited to reveal the end-to-end architecture powering HyperLayer: a unified stack for Private Identity, Private Messaging, and Private Payments all secured by client-side zk-STARK proofs.
This is the system that allows HyperLayer to run:
• wallet creation without servers
• global E2E encrypted messaging
• private USDC transfers
• public verifiable zk-receipts
all from a browser-based cryptographic client.
🔐 What’s inside the stack?
Our architecture consists of 7 coordinated layers:
1. User / AI Agent Layer
Client generates actions + keys locally. Nothing leaves the device unencrypted.
2. Local Privacy Engine
Metadata stripped, anomalies scanned, intent validated before anything touches the network.
3. zk-STARK Generation
The browser compiles a Cairo circuit and produces a STARK proof for identity & payload integrity.
4. HyperLayer Settlement Router
Encrypted instructions routed to either Solana (payments) or Lounge (E2E messaging).
5A. Solana Layer — Private USDC Transfer
STARK proof validated → converted into a Solana instruction → signed locally → broadcast via RPC.
5B. HyperLayer Lounge
Fully E2E encrypted global chat with no plaintext or usernames stored server-side.
6. Zero-Knowledge Receipt Generation
Every action produces a public, metadata-free zk-receipt.
7. Unified Dashboard
Wallet, Lounge, and Account tied together with verifiable privacy primitives.
HyperLayer is now more than “another dapp” it’s a privacy execution layer powered by real zk-STARK cryptography, running directly in the browser.
