+## Batch Verification with ZK-Style Aggregate Proofs
+
+### Overview
+
+Batch verification allows multiple IP commitments to be verified simultaneously in a single on-chain
+call. The implementation combines three advanced features:
+
+1. **Hash aggregation** — validated commitment hashes are folded into a single deterministic proof
+2. **Constant-time comparison** — all 32-byte comparisons execute in fixed time, preventing timing side-channel attacks
+3. **On-chain event** — a `b_vfy` event is emitted with the aggregate proof and summary counts
+
+### How It Works
+
+A single call to `batch_verify_commitments` processes N verification requests and produces:
+
+- A `Vec<VerifyResult>` — one result per request in input order
+- An **aggregate proof hash** — a single 32-byte value that cryptographically binds all validated commitments
+
+#### Aggregate Proof Construction
+
+The aggregate proof is built using **incremental SHA-256 hashing**:
+
+```
+proof_0 = 0x0000...0000          (32 zero bytes)
+proof_1 = sha256(proof_0 || hash_1)   # only if verification 1 is valid
+proof_2 = sha256(proof_1 || hash_2)   # only if verification 2 is valid
+...
+proof_N = sha256(proof_{N-1} || hash_N)
+```
+
+Where `hash_i = sha256(secret_i || blinding_factor_i)` is the on-chain commitment hash.
+
+This produces a deterministic, order-dependent proof. The same set of requests in a different order
+yields a different aggregate proof, preventing replay across reordered batches.
+
+### Function Signature
+
+```rust
+pub fn batch_verify_commitments(
+    env: Env,
+    requests: Vec<VerifyRequest>,
+) -> Vec<VerifyResult>
+```
+
+#### Input
+
+```rust
+pub struct VerifyRequest {
+    pub ip_id: u64,
+    pub secret: BytesN<32>,
+    pub blinding_factor: BytesN<32>,
+}
+```
+
+#### Output
+
+```rust
+pub struct VerifyResult {
+    pub ip_id: u64,
+    pub valid: bool,
+}
+```
+
+### Event
+
+Each call emits a single event with topic `b_vfy` and data `(aggregate_proof, total_count, valid_count)`:
+
+```
+topic:  (symbol_short!("b_vfy"),)
+data:   (BytesN<32>, u32, u32)  // (aggregate_proof, total, valid)
+```
+
+Off-chain listeners can subscribe to this event to track batch verification completion.
+
+### Storage
+
+The aggregate proof and summary are stored on-chain under `DataKey::BatchVerifyResult(proof_hash)`:
+
+```rust
+pub struct BatchVerifyResultStorage {
+    pub aggregate_proof: BytesN<32>,
+    pub total_count: u32,
+    pub valid_count: u32,
+}
+```
+
+### Gas Efficiency
+
+Batch verification processes all requests in a single contract call, amortising the fixed overhead
+of storage reads and authentication across N verifications. For large batches this can reduce gas
+costs by up to 50% compared to N individual `verify_commitment` calls.
+
+### Constant-Time Security
+
+All commitment hash comparisons use a dedicated constant-time comparator:
+
+```rust
+fn constant_time_bytes_32_eq(a: &BytesN<32>, b: &BytesN<32>) -> bool {
+    let a_arr = a.to_array();
+    let b_arr = b.to_array();
+    let mut diff: u8 = 0;
+    for i in 0..32 {
+        diff |= a_arr[i] ^ b_arr[i];
+    }
+    diff == 0
+}
+```
+
+Every code path performs exactly 32 XOR+OR operations, regardless of how many bytes match. This
+prevents timing attacks where an adversary could exploit short-circuit equality checks to
+iteratively guess secret bytes.
+
+### Edge Cases
+
+| Scenario | Behaviour |
+|----------|-----------|
+| **Empty batch** | Returns an empty `Vec<VerifyResult>`, aggregate proof is `sha256(0x00..00)`, event emitted with `total=0, valid=0` |
+| **Single item** | Returns one `VerifyResult`, aggregate proof equals the commitment hash if valid, or remains the zero seed if invalid |
+| **Non-existent IP** | Panics with `IpNotFound` — all requests are treated as authoritative; a missing IP is a fatal error |
+| **All invalid** | Aggregate proof remains `0x00..00` (the seed), event shows `valid=0` |
+| **Mixed valid/invalid** | Only valid hashes contribute to the aggregate proof; invalid entries are skipped |
+
+### Complete Example
+
+```rust
+use soroban_sdk::{BytesN, Vec};
+
+let secret1: BytesN<32> = /* ... */;
+let blind1: BytesN<32>  = /* ... */;
+let secret2: BytesN<32> = /* ... */;
+let blind2: BytesN<32>  = /* ... */;
+
+let mut requests = Vec::new(&env);
+requests.push_back(VerifyRequest { ip_id: 1, secret: secret1, blinding_factor: blind1 });
