Aere Network public source. Everything here can be checked against the live
chain (chain id 2800, https://rpc.aere.network).

Scope note, stated up front rather than buried: consensus on chain 2800 is
classical secp256k1 ECDSA QBFT. The post-quantum work in this repository is at
the signature, precompile, account and transport layers. Nothing here makes the
consensus post-quantum, and no document in it should be read as claiming so.

/**
* @title AereZkEthLightClientV2 — succinct (zk) Ethereum beacon light client on AERE.
* CORRECTED fork of AereZkEthLightClient 0x2a2b6D93…29E9d (see THE FIX below).
*
* @notice Advances a trust-minimized view of Ethereum finality on AERE (chain 2800)
* by verifying an SP1 zkVM **Groth16 proof** that ONE Ethereum beacon
* `LightClientUpdate` is valid against the currently-trusted sync committee.
* The proof (guest `eth-lightclient-guest`, UNCHANGED — same ELF, same vkey
* 0x00f03e1a…d191) checks, INSIDE the zkVM:
* 1. the supplied 512 committee pubkeys hash (SSZ) to the trusted root;
* 2. participation >= 2/3 of 512, and aggregates the participants (G1);
* 3. the aggregate BLS12-381 signature over the SSZ signing root of the
* attested header verifies (hash-to-G2 + pairing);
* 4. the finalized header is committed in the attested state (Electra
* finality Merkle branch, gindex 169);
* 5. the delivered next sync committee is committed in the attested state
* (next-committee branch, gindex 87);
* 6. the attested slot is not behind the finalized slot.
*
* @dev ------------------------------------------------------------------
* THE FIX (vs V1 0x2a2b6D93…29E9d) — UNBOUND TRUST ANCHOR IN verify().
*
* V1's stateful `processProof` was SAFE: it bound the proof's committed
* `gvr` to the immutable `genesisValidatorsRoot` and its committed
* `prevCommitteeRoot` to the stored `trustedCommitteeRoot` before advancing.
*
* V1's PUBLIC `verify()` view did NOT. It ran the Groth16 verify and
* abi.decoded the public values with NO anchor binding at all. A proof is
* only ever a statement of the form "SOME committee, whose root is
* `prevCommitteeRoot`, signed this update" — the guest is honest, but it
* cannot know WHICH committee is Ethereum's real one. So a prover could
* generate a perfectly VALID proof over a sync committee of their OWN 512
* keys, self-sign the update, and V1's `verify()` would return the decoded
* tuple without reverting. Any consumer treating `verify()` as a finality
* oracle ("it didn't revert => this Ethereum header is final") could be
* handed an arbitrary attacker-chosen `finalizedHeaderRoot`.
*
* V2 makes `verify()` apply the SAME anchor binds as `processProof`:
* * `gvr == genesisValidatorsRoot` (IMMUTABLE anchor), and
* * `prevCommitteeRoot == trustedCommitteeRoot` (this client's lineage), and
* * `nextCommitteeRoot != 0`.
* An unbound proof over a prover-chosen committee now REVERTS with
* `CommitteeMismatch`. This mirrors the sibling AereZkQbftLightClient
* 0xCaDA54FA…6488, whose `verify()` was always bound, and the same
* anchor-binding fix shipped as AereOutboundVerifierV2 0x08b68bd5…a96F.
*
* WHAT V2 DELIBERATELY DOES NOT BIND IN verify(): the monotonic slot
* advance (`newFinalizedSlot > finalizedSlot`). That is a property of THIS
* client's head, not of the proof's trust anchor, and a stateless view has
* no head to advance. Omitting it is intentional and matches
* AereZkQbftLightClient.verify(). CONSUMER NOTE: `verify()` returning means
* "this update was signed by the committee this client currently trusts" —
* it does NOT mean the update is newer than the tracked head. A consumer
* that needs recency must read `finalizedSlot()` / use `processProof`.
* ------------------------------------------------------------------
*
* @dev WHY THIS CONTRACT EXISTS AT ALL. The sibling `AereEthLightClient` verifies
* the SAME update DIRECTLY on chain against AERE's EIP-2537 BLS12-381
* precompiles. That path is correct but its 512-pubkey committee-root
* recomputation + BLS aggregation costs ~13.2M+ gas and the full update OOGs
* at AERE's EIP-7825 2^24 (16,777,216) per-tx gas cap. Moving the heavy
* verification into a succinct proof makes the on-chain step a single Groth16
* verify — well under the cap.
*
* @dev SECURITY MODEL — read before quoting.
* * What is proven ON CHAIN here is the Groth16 proof + the public-value
* binding (committee lineage, slot advance, gvr). What is proven OFF CHAIN
* (inside the zkVM) is the sync-committee signature + SSZ branches.
* * Security reduces to the honesty of >= 2/3 of Ethereum's 512-member sync
* committee, exactly like every Altair light client. NOT full Ethereum
* consensus, NOT a fraud/zk execution bridge.
* * TRUST-MINIMIZED, NOT TRUSTLESS and NOT QUANTUM-SAFE: the inbound signature
* scheme is BLS12-381 (classical, Ethereum's inherited crypto) and the proof
* wrap is an SP1 Groth16 SNARK over BN254 (classical). Both are
* quantum-vulnerable. This says nothing about AERE's own PQC work, and this
* contract does NOT touch AERE consensus (still classical ECDSA QBFT).
* * Bootstrap is weakly subjective: the constructor pins a trusted committee
* root + finalized slot/header (a checkpoint). From there it self-advances,
* one committee per accepted proof.
* * COMMITTEE LINEAGE IS AN EXPIRING CREDENTIAL. `trustedCommitteeRoot` only
* moves when someone submits a proof. If nobody advances it for > ~1 sync
* period, this client's trusted committee falls behind Ethereum's live one
* and `verify()` will (correctly) reject proofs for the current committee.
* A consumer MUST check `finalizedSlot()` for recency; a bound `verify()`
* is not a freshness guarantee.
* * PROGRAM BINDING: PROGRAM_VKEY is the SP1 vkey of the exact guest ELF that
* runs the update verification. Binding the vkey binds the exact program.
*
* PUBLIC-VALUES CONVENTION (exactly 192 bytes = 6 x 32) — IDENTICAL to V1,
* because the guest is UNCHANGED:
* abi.encode(
* bytes32 gvr, // genesis validators root used for domain
* bytes32 prevCommitteeRoot, // trusted signing-committee SSZ root
* uint64 finalizedSlot, // new finalized slot
* bytes32 finalizedHeaderRoot, // new finalized beacon header root
* bytes32 nextCommitteeRoot, // delivered next sync-committee root
* uint64 participation // participants (guest enforces >= 342)
* )
*
* IMMUTABILITY / TRUST: SP1_VERIFIER, PROGRAM_VKEY and genesisValidatorsRoot
* are fixed at deploy. There is NO owner and NO admin: advancing is
* permissionless. Soundness rests entirely on the SP1 Groth16 proof plus the
* on-chain lineage/monotonicity checks.
