\section{Implementation Details}
\label{sec:implementation}
\subsection{Trusted Setup}
The Groth16 proof system requires a structured reference string (SRS) generated via a trusted setup ceremony:
\begin{itemize}
\item Powers-of-tau ceremony with $\geq 100$ participants.
\item Circuit-specific phase-2 ceremony.
\item Security: honest-majority assumption---if at least one participant destroys their toxic waste, the SRS is sound.
\end{itemize}
\subsection{Client-Side Proof Generation}
\begin{table}[H]

\caption{Proof generation benchmarks across hardware.}
\label{tab:proving}
\begin{tabular}{lrrr}
\toprule
\textbf{Hardware} & \textbf{Proving Time} & \textbf{Memory} & \textbf{Proof Size} \\
\midrule
Laptop (M1 MacBook) & 2.8 s & 1.2 GB & 192 B \\
Desktop (Ryzen 9) & 1.5 s & 1.2 GB & 192 B \\
Mobile (iPhone 15) & 8.2 s & 1.2 GB & 192 B \\
Browser (WASM) & 12.5 s & 1.5 GB & 192 B \\
\bottomrule
\end{tabular}
\end{table}
\subsection{Merkle Tree Management}
The incremental Merkle tree uses Poseidon hashes and supports efficient updates:
\begin{algorithm}[H]
\caption{Incremental Merkle Tree Insert}
\label{alg:merkle}
\begin{algorithmic}[1]
\Require New leaf $\ell$, current tree with $n$ leaves
\State $\mathsf{filled}[0] \gets \ell$
\State $\mathsf{index} \gets n$
\For{$i = 0$ to $d - 1$}
\If{$\mathsf{index} \mod 2 = 0$}
\State $\mathsf{filled}[i+1] \gets H(\mathsf{filled}[i], \mathsf{zeros}[i])$
\Else
\State $\mathsf{filled}[i+1] \gets H(\mathsf{filledSubtrees}[i], \mathsf{filled}[i])$
\EndIf
\State $\mathsf{index} \gets \lfloor \mathsf{index} / 2 \rfloor$
\EndFor
\State Update root $R \gets \mathsf{filled}[d]$
\end{algorithmic}
\end{algorithm}
Gas cost: $d \times 4{,}000 = 80{,}000$ gas for $d = 20$ Poseidon hashes.
