Magnetar proves Rust, Go, and C programs 10 to 39 times faster than prior systems

microsoft.com by Srinath Setty 8 min read Editor score 8/10

Magnetar generates verifiable proofs for Rust, Go, and C workloads, runs 10–39 times faster on average than prior comparable systems, and relies only on standard hash functions. Practical proofs could reduce trust requirements when executing workloads across systems.

What

Magnetar proves program execution, producing a short proof alongside the result that others can check without rerunning the program.

How

It proves Rust, Go, and C programs and runs 10 to 39 times faster on average than prior comparable systems, using standard hash functions for security.

Why it matters

Proving ordinary programs as written could help engineers verify agent actions or transactions without exposing private inputs.
