Paranoid EIP-8288: heterogeneous recursion with an authenticated class bank
EIP-8288 proposes recursive aggregation using a fixed protocol-level verification key. This mechanism, implemented in Parano1d, involves heterogeneous recursion with a finite authenticated bank of verifier classes, allowing different proof sizes for aggregation. For more details, refer to the original source.

Reveal optionality in encrypted mempools: how big is the sender’s free option, and a post-quantum way to remove it
The research explores the value of free options in encrypted mempools and proposes a solution called Blind Simultaneous Release (BSR) to eliminate them. BSR fixes the executed set before anyone can condition on new information, using only hashes, making it post-quantum.
