The Central Question
Can mathematical proofs be published as on-chain attestations? This project deploys three smart contracts on Coinbase’s Base: a verification oracle that stores proof verification results immutably, NFT audit certificates (ERC-721) representing verified theorems, and ZK credentials enabling privacy-preserving proof of verification status. The contract invariants are themselves formally verified in Lean 4.
Key Verified Results
oracle_consistencyNo conflicting attestations for same proof hash
Oracle.lean
certificate_uniqueOne NFT per verified proof (no duplicates)
Certificate.lean
credential_soundZK proofs verify only for valid attestations

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

Core insight: Lean 4 proof verification results can be published as on-chain attestations, creating immutable audit trails. NFT certificates represent verified proofs, and ZK credentials enable privacy-preserving proof of verification status.

Complete framework: (1) Verification Oracle — accepts proof hashes and verification status, stores results immutably, (2) NFT Audit Certificates — ERC-721 tokens representing verified proofs with metadata pointing to IPFS artifacts, (3) ZK Credentials — zero-knowledge proofs of verification status without revealing the proof content.
