UBS ZK Space

Sovereign ZK Infrastructure for Storage & Compute

Proof‑of‑Space + VDF consensus. Privacy at Layer‑1. Modular Substrate stack. We welcome voluntary early contributions to accelerate Testnet V.2 → Mainnet.

Open‑source protocol • No token sale • Utility‑only

PoSpace + VDF
Green, fair, ASIC-resistant consensus
ZK-native L1
Privacy by default, not a rollup
$3/TB/yr
HDD/SSD mining, no GPUs
Modular
Substrate • WASM • ink! • IBC
🔗 Linktree / UBSZK

Consensus

Proof‑of‑Space + dual VDF with GRANDPA finality. Fair timing, Sybil‑resistant, energy‑efficient.

  • 1 TB min entry • no staking • no GPUs
  • Deterministic time via VDF • anti‑front‑running
  • Honest leader election • ASIC resistance

Privacy Layer

OpenZKP integrated at runtime (ZK‑ID, private DAOs, proof aggregation) — privacy at L1.

  • SNARK‑friendly hashes: Knapsack, Rescue, Haraka
  • Groth16/PLONK‑class circuits • aggregation
  • No rollup dependency • L1‑native privacy

Full‑Stack

Substrate node, GUI/CLI, browser signer, Nix/Docker CI — production‑ready from day one.

  • GTK4 Desktop (30 MB) • cross‑platform
  • Reproducible Nix • multistage Docker
  • GitHub Actions • telemetry • monitoring

Tech FAQ

How does PoSpace + dual VDF work?

Farmers pre‑allocate real disk space (e.g., 1 TB) and prove it via PoSpace. When a plot qualifies, a two‑stage VDF enforces sequential compute time that cannot be parallelized or accelerated, ensuring fair leader selection and ASIC resistance.

Which ZK schemes are used?

A runtime‑integrated OpenZKP engine (SNARK‑friendly hashes: Knapsack, Rescue, Haraka) powers zk‑ID, private DAOs, mixers, and proof aggregation. Groth16/PLONK‑class circuits are supported with a path to universal setups.

What is the network throughput?

BFT finality (GRANDPA) targets 2–18s with optimized ZK aggregation enabling high tx throughput. Storage throughput scales horizontally with the number of farmers; economics modeled around ~$3/TB/year HDD/SSD participation.
