Fry will approve KZG. Does Fry ever use lookup tables, or is it just, you'd never, you can't? Yeah. So, polygon Hermes, for example, and others probably too. The reason they can do this is look up arguments like pluck up,. They can work with a generic polynomial commitment. Because they don't rely on this additional additive, a homomorphism. Pluck up doesn’t, pluck up just needs a polynictional commitment. Got it. I have sort of a side question here. But what is here used very heavily to conclude that the checks we're doing imply that these products of polynom
This week, Anna and Ariel Gabizon cover the SNARK trilogy; a history of pairing-based SNARKs in 3 acts. Starting from Jens Groth’s early works on SNARKs, Ariel takes us on a journey through key moments and breakthroughs in SNARKs over the last decade. They also dive into the emerging accumulation research on folding schemes and Ariel’s latest work surrounding lookup tables! This is an episode you won’t want to miss.
