v0.6.1 — the archive-node bridge
Hazync v0.6.1 — the archive-node bridge
METHOD_ID is unchanged: 601d7ca298f32c54137fdb395d0debd31e95e4f084615fa710e5db5c785f05e6. The guest is byte-for-byte the v0.6.0 guest — this release only changes the host (how witnesses are produced and served), so every proof made against v0.6.0 still verifies, and docker build -f reproduce/Dockerfile . still yields exactly this id.
This release kills the quadratic replay that kept the board pinned near genesis: a persistent archive node now drives one resident Utreexo forest forward over the chain and emits a ready-made witness per block, so a prover proves a block with no replay — O(1) per block instead of O(N).
What changed, file by file
prover/host/src/main.rs— newhost bridge: drives one resident forest forward over the chain from a localbitcoind, emitting a per-block bundle (in-boundary + the realroot_prev+ inclusion proofs). Checkpoints the forest + UTXO-metadata map + MTP/difficulty carry and resumes mid-chain instead of rebuilding from genesis; advances only totip-100and then follows the tip, so the resident forest never enters the re-org zone. Newhost prove-range-bridge <n>proves a block straight from its bundle (mode 6, no replay); the receipt is byte-identical to the replay path's.verify-anyand the guest are untouched.coordinator/server.py—/api/witness/<n>now serves the archive bundle from the bridge directory (local read, no cross-box copy), falling back to the legacy per-block witness. Genesis seed: a[1..hi]receipt is accepted for a claimed[0..hi]range (block 0 is unprovable) and recorded as the proven[1..hi]so the frontier chains from genesis.coordinator/hazync(CLI) —hazync runuses the bridge path (prove-range-bridge, O(1)/block) when the coordinator serves bundles for the whole range, and falls back to genesis replay otherwise.coordinator/deploy/—hazync-bridge.service(the persistent bridge), the coordinator unit wired to the bundle directory, andmigrate-coordinator.sh(WAL-safe DB + receipts migration for co-locating the coordinator beside the bridge)..github/workflows/release-sign.yml— signs whateverhazync-host-*binaries a release carries (CPU-only or CPU+CUDA) rather than a hardcoded pair.README.md— leads with the moat (Bitcoin Core's own consensus code proven in a zkVM) and an honest "proving the chain, live" status.
Binaries
hazync-host-x86_64-linux-gnu— CPU build. Use this to verify proofs (./host verify-any proof.bin); no GPU needed.hazync-host-x86_64-linux-gnu-cuda— CUDA build for GPU proving. Same guestMETHOD_ID.
Both are the reproducible guest (reproduce/Dockerfile). SHA256SUMS + SHA256SUMS.asc are PGP-signed with the maintainer key (fingerprint in SECURITY.md).
