EcoBoost: Efficient Bootstrapping for Confidential Transactions

Confidential transactions in blockchains improve privacy by hiding transaction amounts but have high storage overhead (10–20x), making it costly and inefficient for resource-limited devices. EcoBoost addresses this by using random sampling to verify transactions with sublinear overhead, reducing storage and verification time by over 86% while detecting fraudulent transactions with 99% accuracy.

Cryptocurrencies lack privacy, but making transactions private requires a lot of extra storage. Our solution, EcoBoost, uses random checks to verify transactions efficiently, reducing storage and time by over 86% while catching fake transactions 99% of the time.
