+# ZK Verifier — Groth16 Proof-Verifier Reference Contract
+
+A secure, production-quality reference implementation of a Groth16 proof-verifier contract for Soroban, incorporating every mitigation identified by the Sanctifier Z-rule set.
+
+## Security Properties
+
+| Property | Rule | Status |
+|----------|------|--------|
+| Nullifier double-spend check | Z001 | ✅ `NullifierSet::assert_unspent` called before state mutation |
+| Public-input binding | Z003 | ✅ Proof bound to context + nullifier via SHA-256 |
+| Verifying-key integrity | Z005 | ✅ SHA-256 hash stored and verified on each call |
+| Under-constrained inputs | Z007 | ✅ Structural validation of proof elements |
+| VK rotation access control | Z010 | ✅ Multisig quorum + timelock enforced |
+| Verification result handling | Z013 | ✅ `Result` propagated, never discarded |
+
+## API
+
+### `initialize(admin: Address, initial_vk: Bytes)`
+One-time setup. Stores the verifying key and its integrity hash.
+
+### `verify_proof(proof: Bytes, public_inputs: Vec<BytesN<32>>, context: Bytes, nullifier: Bytes) -> Result<(), VerifierError>`
+Core verification flow:
+1. Loads the verifying key from storage and checks its integrity hash (Z005).
+2. Parses and structurally validates the Groth16 proof.
+3. Checks the nullifier for double-spend (Z001) — uses `NullifierSet` for TTL-managed spent tracking.
+4. Binds public inputs via SHA-256 (Z003).
+5. Delegates to the pairing-check stub (see [Cryptographic Note](#cryptographic-note)).
+
+### `propose_rotation`, `approve_rotation`, `execute_rotation`, `cancel_rotation`
+Three-phase VK rotation with multisig + timelock (Z010):
+- **Propose**: submits a new VK with a timelock delay.
+- **Approve**: collects signer approvals toward a configurable threshold.
+- **Execute**: applies the VK only after quorum AND timelock are met.
+- **Cancel**: always permitted; prevents execution of a pending rotation.
+
+### `set_threshold(threshold: u32)`
+Sets the approval threshold for VK rotation (requires contract auth).
+
+## Cryptographic Note
+
+The actual ate-pairing computation (the core of Groth16 verification) is **not yet executable in Soroban WASM** due to the lack of a native BLS12-381 or BN254 precompile. This contract performs structural validation (zero-element checks, length checks, public-input count matching) and has a well-defined `pairing_check` stub where a real pairing implementation would be plugged in.
+
+When a native WASM pairing shim or Soroban precompile becomes available, the pairing-check function in `groth16.rs` can be replaced with the full verification equation:
+
+```
+e(A, B) == e(α, β) · e(∑(pi_i · γ_abc_i), γ) · e(C, δ)
+```
+
+## Formal Verification
+
+The VK-rotation pure logic is verified with Kani under `#[cfg(kani)]`:
+- No rotation completes without quorum.
+- No rotation completes before the timelock elapses.
+- Cancel always prevents a pending rotation from completing.
+
+See `vk_storage.rs` for the pure-function proofs.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+# Run unit tests
+cargo test -p zk-verifier
+
+# Run Kani proofs (requires Kani installed)
+# cargo kani --package zk-verifier
+
+# Scan with Sanctifier
+# sanctifier analyze contracts/zk-verifier
+```
+
+## Limitations
+
+- The pairing computation is a stub — real verification requires a WASM pairing implementation.
+- Nullifier entries use persistent storage with explicit TTL bumps.
+- The multisig signer set is managed externally; this contract tracks only the approval threshold.
