* Refactor recursion tests E.g. the main part of `test_recursive_recursive_verifier` is now ```rust let (proof, vd, cd) = dummy_proof::<F, D>(&config, 8_000)?; let (proof, vd, cd) = recursive_proof(proof, vd, cd, &config, &config, false)?; let (proof, _vd, cd) = recursive_proof(proof, vd, cd, &config, &config, true)?; ``` Also adds a new `test_size_optimized_recursion` to see how small we can make the final proof in a recursion chain. The final proof is ~74kb (depending on compression luck) and takes ~20s to prove on my M1 (depending on PoW luck). * Refactor serialization * Don't log timestamps
plonky2
plonky2 is an implementation of recursive arguments based on Plonk and FRI. It uses FRI to check systems of polynomial constraints, similar to the DEEP-ALI method described in the DEEP-FRI paper. It is the successor of plonky, which was based on Plonk and Halo.
plonky2 is largely focused on recursion performance. We use custom gates to mitigate the bottlenecks of FRI verification, such as hashing and interpolation. We also encode witness data in a ~64 bit field, so field operations take just a few cycles. To achieve 128-bit security, we repeat certain checks, and run certain parts of the argument in an extension field.
Running
To see recursion performance, one can run this test, which generates a chain of three recursion proofs:
RUST_LOG=debug RUSTFLAGS=-Ctarget-cpu=native cargo test --release test_recursive_recursive_verifier -- --ignored
