Awesome PLONK

Papers

• PLONK: Permutations over Lagrange-bases for Oecumenical Noninteractive arguments of Knowledge
  • slides:
    • Simons Institute 2019
    • Stanford Blockchain Conference 2020
      • transcripts
• Proposal: The Turbo-PLONK program syntax for specifying SNARK programs
  • Turbo-PLONK uses custom gates. Custom gates can make Halo-style Recursive Proof Composition efficient in PlonK.
    • [BCMS20] further formalizes halo-style Recursive Proof Composition, and call it as an Accumulation scheme
• plookup: A simplified polynomial protocol for lookup tables
  • slides:
    • plookup: speeding up SNARKs on non-friendly functions with lookup tables
    • Plookup in action
• Public inputs in PlonK’s permutation argument
• SHPLONK
• REDSHIFT: Transparent SNARKs from List Polynomial Commitment IOPs
• Reinforced Concrete: A new ZK friendly hash function. When Plookup is enabled, it can be up to 17x faster than Poseidon (50 cycles/byte), and only 7 times slower than Blake2.
