How It Works

Anyware verifies recent Ethereum state on a destination chain in two cryptographic stages.

Stage 1: anchor to Ethereum consensus

The destination chain reads Ethereum's beacon root through EIP-4788.

From that root, the proof reconstructs:

• the beacon header
• the beacon body root
• the execution payload header

This is done with SSZ Merkle proofs.

Once that succeeds, the destination contract has a verified Ethereum execution-layer stateRoot.

Stage 2: walk Ethereum state

From the verified execution stateRoot, the proof walks:

1. the Ethereum account trie to reach the target account 2. the account's storage trie to reach the target slot

This is done with Merkle-Patricia trie proofs.

If both stages succeed, the destination contract now has a verified Ethereum storage-slot value.

Result

The final output is:

• the slot value
• the source block number
• the account that was proven
• the slot key that was proven

That gives the destination application enough information to act on Ethereum truth onchain.
