1. Milestones and Timeline (3-Month MVP)This roadmap delivers a functional proof-of-concept Accountable Privacy oracle on 0G, drawing inspiration from the two-layer design (hierarchical batch receipts + selective disclosure) in the submitted SBC 2026 paper Privacy-Preserving Batch Oracles by Annabelle Shalom, ChristyAna Viva, and Paul Snow (under review).
-
Month 1: Commitment & Authority Layer
Build the 0G Storage adapter for encrypted data blobs and SHA-256 commitments (Hash(value ‖ blinding_factor)). Implement mapping to Accumulate-style URL-based authority binding (acc://…) via a custom bridge for ADI provenance and hierarchical receipt generation. -
Month 2: Selective Disclosure & Proof Layer
Develop core zk predicate library (threshold, range, membership proofs). Implement Accumulate receipt verifier compatible with 0G execution (Cairo where feasible, or adapted to 0G-compatible STARK tooling). Test composition of receipts with zero-knowledge predicates. -
Month 3: 0G Integration, Verification & Demo
Integrate verifiers with 0G’s Data Availability (DA) layer for efficient on-chain validation using sub-second finality and high-bandwidth execution. Launch public demo: Private AI Training Provenance — an AI agent proves usage of a sensitive dataset (e.g., meeting accuracy thresholds) without revealing raw data, with optional Bitcoin-anchored timestamps for temporal integrity.
2. Funding Requirements ($50,000)We request $50,000 to accelerate this privacy extension for 0G’s AI-native infrastructure.
| Category | Amount | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol Engineering | $25,000 | Rust/Node.js development of 0G-Accumulate adapter, commitment scheme, and receipt handling. |
| ZK Development | $15,000 | Predicate circuits and verifier logic; optimization on 0G testnet. |
| Infrastructure & Testing | $10,000 | 0G Storage/DA nodes, testnet deployments, security audits, and demo infrastructure. |
3. Team BackgroundOur team brings deep expertise in identity-first protocols, zero-knowledge systems, and high-throughput blockchain infrastructure.
-
Paul Snow: Founder and chief architect of the Accumulate Protocol (identity-based DPoS with URL-based ADIs and Bitcoin anchoring). Decades of experience in distributed ledgers and data integrity systems. Leads protocol and anchoring design.
-
Core Contributors: Strong backgrounds in Cairo/STARK proving systems and selective disclosure primitives, informed by ongoing research on hierarchical batch oracles (including the submitted SBC 2026 paper).
-
0G Alignment: Extensive experience with scalable data layers and verifiable computation positions us to deliver privacy primitives that complement 0G’s unified storage/compute/DA stack for AI agents, DeSci, and agentic infrastructure.
