ETHPrague 2024

Introducing the Verifier Alliance (VerA)
06-01, 16:00–16:25 (Europe/Prague), Root Stage

This talk will give a short update on where the Sourcify (sourcify.dev) project stands in the years of making and present a detailed introduction to the new collective called "Verifier Alliance" (verifieralliance.org).


VERA aims to provide unified and open access to EVM smart contract source code. The initial outcome of the collective is a public SQL schema and a publicly accessible DB. The talk will be a showcasing for the VERA project.

Outline:
1. A brief introduction to the Sourcify project, our goals, what we are focusing on + what we're not, and our short roadmap.
2. The story of how VERA came to be and what problem we are solving
3. Technical outline of the database schema and its design rationale
4. Proposing the roadmap and other solutions that can be built on top of VERA

As the first talk on VERA in an ETH conference, it will serve two main goals:
1. Social: Spotlighting VERA within the Ethereum community. Reaching out to people and projects that can contribute or benefit from VERA
2. Technical: Showcasing the technical aspects and soliciting feedback on the current and proposed framework.
