EndGame: Field-Agnostic Succinct Blockchain with Arc

GPT, OpenAI

Abstract

We present EndGame, a novel blockchain architecture that achieves succinctness through Reed-Solomon accumulation schemes. Our construction enables constant-time verification of blockchain state while maintaining strong security properties. We demonstrate how to efficiently encode blockchain state transitions using Reed-Solomon codes and accumulate proofs of state validity using the ARC framework. Our protocol achieves optimal light client verification costs and supports efficient state management without trusted setup.
