Halo2 gadgets for verifying plonky2/starky proofs (WIP)

Halo2 plonky2 verifier

This repository contains halo2 gadgets to verify plonky2/starky proofs. It uses Axiom's halo2-lib under the hood.

Currently, the code can verify FRI proofs from plonky2, and full proof verification is still WIP.

TODOs:

• FRI verification
• STARK vanishing polynomial evaluation
• PLONK verification
• Benchmarking

Test

To run the mock prover for verification of a Fibonacci STARK:

cargo t -r -- --nocapture test_fibonacci_stark

Acknowledgements

This code is adapted from the original recursive verifier implementation in plonky2.

Succinct's gnark-plonky2-verifier was also used as a reference, and the PoseidonBN254 implementation is adapted from there.

These gadgets have NOT been formally audited. Therefore, they should not be deployed in production.
