Introduces a new DIP specifying trustless verification of LLMQ public keys using ChainLocks and merkleRootQuorums. This enables light clients and the Platform SDK to cryptographically verify Platform quorum public keys without trusting external parties. Key features: - Compact proofs (~1 KB typical) using chainlock-based verification - No header chains needed - verifies against chainlocked block's cbtx - New P2P messages (GETQUORUMPROOFCHAIN, QUORUMPROOFCHAIN) - gRPC API for Platform SDK integration Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

- Around line 115-116: The ChainlockEntry height is declared as a signed type in
the table and protobuf; change the data-structure table entry from int32_t to
uint32_t and update the protobuf field type from int32 to uint32 (e.g., in the
ChainlockEntry message) so heights are consistently unsigned; also find and
update the other occurrences of the same field/type elsewhere in the spec (the
other ChainlockEntry listings) to use uint32 to match the checkpoint height
modeling and avoid negative values or interop issues.
- Line 434: Hyphenate the compound modifier in the proof size analysis sentence:
change "one per ~2 day interval" to "one per ~2-day interval" (locate the
sentence containing "When the checkpoint is 30+ days old, approximately 15
bridging chainlock quorums are needed" in the proof size analysis section and

- Line 85: Clarify the spec to state whether the checkpoint's "block hash and
height" are both required or if the height is derived from the block hash:
update the checkpoint definition to explicitly say "A block hash (the height is
derived from the block hash and therefore optional)" or conversely require both,
and then make the serialization section for "checkpoint" and the P2P message
definition consistent by either including the explicit height field in the P2P
message or noting that the P2P message contains only the block hash and that
receivers must derive the height from that hash; ensure references to
"checkpoint height", "block hash", and the "P2P message definition" are updated
accordingly so all usages match one clear approach.
- Line 375: Replace the placeholder "XXXXXX (to be assigned)" with a concrete
protocol version following the 702xx pattern (for example use 70236) so the

118-118: Height field should be unsigned (int32_t → uint32_t).Block heights are non-negative and already modeled as
uint32_telsewhere (e.g., line 135chainlockIndexand line 167H_verified). Using a signed type here risks negative values and interop inconsistencies. This issue was previously flagged and also appears in the protobuf definition at line 414.
414-414: Protobuf height field should use uint32.The
ChainlockEntry.heightfield is declared asint32but represents a block height, which is always non-negative. This is inconsistent with the uint32 used forchainlock_index(line 423) andsigning_quorum_type(line 418). Change touint32for semantic correctness and consistency with the data structure table at line 118.
479-479: Hyphenate compound modifier ("2-day").Change "one per ~2 day interval" to "one per ~2-day interval" for grammatical correctness when using a compound modifier.

241-241: Use error handling instead of ASSERT for validation.The pseudocode uses
ASSERT(hash(header) == CL.blockHash)for validation. In a verification algorithm, mismatched headers should result in a clear verification failure (returning an error), not an assertion failure. Consider replacing with an explicit check and error return to match the pattern used elsewhere (e.g., lines 237, 258-259, 263-264 with?error propagation).♻️ Proposed pseudocode improvement

Implement the DASHNC02 certificate proof layering from DIP dashpay#175 (dashpay/dips#175). Independently pinned snapshot roots authenticate the initial quorum key. Mining-transaction inclusion proofs and short X11 header bridges authenticate subsequent quorum keys, whose ChainLock certificates authenticate the final state roots. The trust model assumes historically authenticated quorums remain honest; it does not reconstruct full Core consensus, DKG or exact active signer eligibility. Consecutive headers are required within each handoff, rather than across the entire elapsed history, to keep long-range proofs compact. The historical reader and commitment-selection machinery recover the signers and mining evidence needed to construct these handoffs without a new persistent index. Bounded caches reuse only immutable verification inputs or entries tied to the request's exact block history.
Steps 5 and 7 required a mined quorum commitment to have no inputs, no outputs and a zero locktime, pinned both the commitment and the coinbase to exactly special version 3, and capped the coinbase at 4,096 outputs. Consensus requires none of this: CheckTransaction only allows rather than requires empty vin/vout for a quorum commitment, a special version is any version at or above 3, nothing reads a mined commitment's locktime, and a coinbase output count is bounded only by transaction size. An independent verifier written to the old text would therefore reject proofs Dash Core accepts, and a miner running custom software could mine a consensus-valid commitment that no proof could carry, at no cost and indistinguishably from an honest block. A quorum's commitment is mined exactly once, so that quorum's key could never be proven again. The Merkle path already binds each transaction to the ChainLock-signed header, so the dropped constraints added no security. The payload type, version and height checks, the scriptSig bounds consensus does enforce, and the transaction blob limit all stay. Matches dashpay/dash#7107, so Core and independent verifiers stay in agreement. The wire format is unchanged and the committed test vector is unaffected.

Implements the mining-transaction proof format in [DIP #175](dashpay/dips#175). ## What was done? Each `DASHNC02` link carries a ChainLock certificate and the complete next quorum's mining transaction with a transaction Merkle path. Consecutive X11 headers bridge unavailable ChainLocks at mining height. The final coinbase authenticates both roots; an optional bootstrap envelope opens the requested Platform quorum and up to fifteen eligible EvoNodes. `getquorumproofchain` generates evidence from a checkpoint block hash and minimum target height. `verifyquorumproofchain` takes the full independently trusted snapshot, bounded binary proof, and optional freshness floor. Verification enforces canonical framing, strict certificate-height progress, BLS/X11 linkage, positional Merkle shape, and cumulative resource budgets. The wire and HTTP bootstrap response are limited to 1 MiB; certificates and total ancestor headers are each limited to 4,096. `getchainlockbyheight` and proof generation read historical evidence from disk on demand. ChainLock code finds coinbase-carried certificates using exponential/binary search over consensus-monotonic certified heights, with a bounded cache for one request. The existing mined-commitment database locates mining transactions. Bounded in-memory LRU caches reuse successful Basic BLS certificate checks, canonical commitment parsing, historical signing-quorum selection and mining-block locations across requests and overlapping ranges. Keys bind the complete verification inputs or exact block history; selection cache misses check the active branch under `cs_main`, and mining-location hits must belong to the request chain. Every request still checks its checkpoint, ancestry, inclusion paths, roots and budgets. No additional index, startup scan, persistent proof manager, or block-processing hooks are needed. Required historical blocks must be retained; missing/pruned data is an explicit error. Construction uses a fixed chain view, performs bulk disk reads and verification outside `cs_main`, and checks the target carrier (or live signed block) is still active before returning. The final certificate can come from the existing ChainLock manager before a later coinbase embeds it; historical handoffs still come from disk. The trust model assumes historically authenticated ChainLock quorums remain honest. This verifier does not reconstruct DKG, full Core consensus, or exact active signer eligibility. No consensus/signing rules change, trusted setup, proof VM, GPU, or new P2P messages are introduced. ## How Has This Been Tested? Locally built on Apple ARM64 with the repository's prebuilt dependencies: full no-wallet build with the experimental shared kernel and linked `dash-chainstate`, plus a full wallet-enabled build. All 40 selected cases in `llmq_chainlock_tests`, `quorum_proofs_tests`, and `validation_chainstatemanager_tests` pass. Coverage includes disk-backed historical lookup across repeated/skipped signatures, shorter-chain requests, missing block data, real testnet proof roundtrip and tampering, resource limits, and multiple-chainstate lifecycle behavior. `rpc_help.py` and `feature_quorum_proof_chain.py` pass with and without wallet support, including positional/named CLI arguments, mixed HTTP batches, malformed input, freshness, and restart checks. `feature_llmq_chainlocks.py` passes real multi-node ChainLock creation, historical RPC lookup, and its existing reorg/restart checks. Cppcheck, Python flake8/mypy, format strings, circular dependency, assertion, test-suite-name, changed-line formatting, and whitespace checks pass. The shared real testnet fixture is 3,469 raw proof bytes; the matching SDK bootstrap with one quorum and one EvoNode is 4,506 bytes. Mining-transaction reference encodings of real testnet 90/180/366-day histories measured 85,827/159,536/314,357 gzip bytes, before final record openings. These are testnet observations, not mainnet guarantees. Real mainnet/testnet archive RPC generation is now benchmarked at 90/180/366-day spans in [the performance report](https://github.com/PastaPastaPasta/dash/blob/platform-sdk-compact-proof/doc/benchmarks/quorum-proof-2026-09-09/README.md). All 66 measured requests verified; byte-identical proofs were returned across stock, profiling and cold-block-file runs. On an Apple M4 Max SSD, the year-long mainnet proof took 5.52 s with cold block files (0.33 s in block loading), and testnet took 24.61 s (0.36 s in block loading). Mainnet proof sizes were 38,732 / 73,800 / 151,070 gzip bytes. The [memoization follow-up](https://github.com/PastaPastaPasta/dash/blob/platform-sdk-compact-proof/doc/benchmarks/quorum-proof-memoization-2026-09-09/README.md) compares 90 real archive requests across baseline, signature/parsing-only and final implementations. Repeated year requests fall from 5.37 to 0.91 s mainnet and 24.59 to 1.53 s testnet; the first six-month query after a year query takes 0.61 / 0.78 s. First requests after restart remain 5.25 / 23.69 s. Every proof and bootstrap is byte-identical to the baseline. The final implementation builds with and without wallet support, passes all 51 selected unit tests plus proof RPC/help functional tests in both builds, and adds warmed-cache mutation and concurrent-verification regressions. The [full-stack integration report](https://github.com/PastaPastaPasta/dash/blob/platform-sdk-compact-proof/doc/benchmarks/quorum-proof-full-stack-2026-09-09/README.md) records real mainnet/testnet Core → quorum-list-server → native SDK validation, including live Platform epoch queries with the default verified provider, year-long histories, and six rejected HTTP fault cases. This exposed and fixed SDK quorum-hash byte order, RPC transport timeouts, and availability of a final live ChainLock before its later coinbase carrier. Browser-to-live-server, Swift/FFI, the DAPI proof-serving route, and production deployment remain outside this run. ## Breaking Changes None to released interfaces or consensus. Generation supports mainnet/testnet; independent fixture verification is also testable on regtest. ## Checklist: - [x] I have performed a self-review of my own code - [x] I have commented my code, particularly in hard-to-understand areas - [x] I have added or updated relevant unit/integration/functional/e2e tests - [x] I have made corresponding changes to the documentation - [ ] I have assigned this pull request to a milestone ACKs for top commit: PastaPastaPasta: Thanks for the utACK and for writing out the spec diff.

I cross-checked the new wording against the code rather than just applying the text: | DIP wording | Code | |---|---| | commitment "special version 3 or above" | `tx->IsSpecialTxVersion()`, i.e. `nVersion >= SPECIAL_VERSION` (3) | | commitment "a v1 payload" | `payload->nVersion == 1` (unchanged, so left exact) | | coinbase "scriptSig of 1–100 bytes" | `!scriptSig.empty() && scriptSig.size() <= 100` | | coinbase "at least one output" | `!tx->vout.empty()` | | coinbase payload "v3 or above" | `payload->nVersion >= CCbTx::Version::CLSIG_AND_BALANCE`, where `CLSIG_AND_BALANCE = 3` | | "transaction blob limit" | the retained 100,000-byte check, matching `MAX_STANDARD_TX_SIZE{100000}` and the DIP's existing "Transaction blob | 100,000 bytes" limit | The wire format is unchanged — only validation strictness was relaxed — so the committed `test-vector.json` and `bootstrap.bin` are unaffected, and `real_testnet_wire_and_crypto` still passes. On validation of `725f722` here: built clean, and `quorum_proofs_tests` / `evo_deterministicmns_tests` / `block_reward_reallocation_tests` pass (13 cases). I also confirmed the new test is a real regression test by reverting `quorumproofs.cpp` alone and keeping the test — it fails on `quorum transaction envelope`. --- 🤖 Posted autonomously by Codex on behalf of pasta.

Specify compact proofs that let an SDK verify Platform quorum keys and EvoNode records from an independently trusted Core snapshot. Each handoff proves the next ChainLock quorum's mining transaction, using consecutive block headers when the certificate signs a later block. The final coinbase supplies the roots used to verify the requested records.
The DIP explains the proof with diagrams and a worked example, then defines the binary format, verification rules, resource limits, Core RPCs, HTTP interface, and verified versus explicitly trusted SDK behavior. It states the historical-quorum honesty assumption and uses existing Dash consensus and signing rules.
A self-contained test vector in this repository includes the bootstrap bytes, trusted checkpoint, minimum height, and expected target and record kinds. The embedded proof can be tested separately without storing a second copy. The DIP retains a brief size summary; implementation tests and detailed benchmarks accompany Core PR #7107.
Validation: markdownlint and whitespace checks pass. The existing Rust verifier accepts both the local bootstrap fixture and its embedded proof, returns the expected target and record kinds, and rejects each of the three documented invalid cases.
