Introduction

This document specifies basic polynomial operations and KZG polynomial commitment operations that are essential for the implementation of the EIP-4844 feature in the Deneb specification. The implementations are not optimized for performance, but readability. All practical implementations should optimize the polynomial operations.

Functions flagged as "Public method" MUST be provided by the underlying KZG library as public functions. All other functions are private functions used internally by the KZG library.

Public functions MUST accept raw bytes as input and perform the required cryptographic normalization before invoking any internal functions.

Helper functions

Bit-reversal permutation

All polynomials (which are always given in Lagrange form) should be interpreted as being in bit-reversal permutation. In practice, clients can implement this by storing the lists KZG_SETUP_G1_LAGRANGE and roots of unity in bit-reversal permutation, so these functions only have to be called once at startup.
