Building core infrastructure for the Syndicate Appchain Rollup Stack — including the derivation layer, RPC server, settlement logic, and on-chain smart contracts.

I designed and implemented on-chain verification for TEE certificates using ZK proofs, part of the "fast TEE withdrawals", a key innovation of the Syndicate stack. The system supports multiple ZK-VMs (SP1 in production, Risc0 implemented) and allows for ease of extension for a multi-TEE infrastructure (AWS Nitro, GCP Confidential Computing).
