Bitcoin header validation using Nova. https://github.com/avras/btc-nova-lc Repo has code and benchmarks. 100k headers validated in 4 hours using 0.5 GB RAM or under 2 hours using 20 GB RAM. Proof sizes < 16 KB. Heavily inspired by the ZeroSync implementation.

A paper I started working on in 2020 got accepted in a conference recently. I am grateful that obsidian.md exists. It was indispensable as I fumbled my way through the problem, documenting all the hacks I tried.
