hemera roadmap
hemera is specified: x⁻¹ partial S-box, 16 partial rounds, 32-byte output, ~736 constraints per permutation. these proposals are OPTIMIZATIONS on top of the current spec — reducing constraint count further and shifting hemera's role from "hash for everything" to "trust anchor."
status: in reference = proposal is now the canonical spec
core (implemented in reference)
| proposal |
in reference? |
what it did |
| inversion-sbox |
yes → reference/permutation.md |
x⁻¹ S-box, 16 partial rounds, 2^1046 algebraic degree |
| compact-output |
yes → reference/sponge.md, reference/tree.md, reference/api.md |
32-byte output, 1-perm binary nodes |
optimization proposals
batched-proving and folded-sponge removed — polynomial nouns reduce hemera to ~3 calls per execution, making batch/fold optimizations unnecessary.
scope expansion proposals
| proposal |
in reference? |
target |
| erasure-coding |
no |
Reed-Solomon erasure coding over Goldilocks: same field, same NTT, data availability codec |
| capacity-typing |
no |
type tags in reserved capacity slot state[14]: type-integrated hashing, type confusion prevention |
targets
hemera (current) + optimizations (all)
constraints/perm: ~736 ~544 (wired MDS)
FS calls (20-round): 20 × 736 = 14,720 1 × 736 + 19 × 50 = 1,686
endgame role
hemera becomes the identity layer: content identity (hash), content typing (capacity), content availability (erasure). polynomial commitments (Brakedown) handle the high-volume proof work — proof binding and state verification with ZERO hemera calls.
always hemera: H(particle) identity, H(cyberlink), Fiat-Shamir seed
type-integrated hashing (capacity slot → type IS identity)
erasure encoding (RS over Goldilocks → availability codec)
algebraic: proof challenges (algebraic FS), state verification (polynomial)
eliminated: tree hashing (Brakedown is Merkle-free), DAS proofs (Lens openings)
key composition: with ~3 hemera calls per execution, each permutation folds into the HyperNova accumulator (~30 field ops) during proof-carrying execution.
cross-repo dependencies
| zheng proposal |
hemera interaction |
| proof-carrying |
each hemera permutation (~3 per execution) = one fold step |
| brakedown-pcs |
Merkle-free Lens eliminates hemera tree overhead entirely |
| bbg proposal |
hemera interaction |
| algebraic-nmt |
polynomial state reduces hemera state calls from 144K to 0 per block |
| signal-first |
signals content-addressed via hemera; hemera identity IS signal identity |
