Stir: Enhancing Privacy and Scalability in Snarks
Stir introduces a novel approach to improving the efficiency of Snarks, focusing on reducing query complexity and enhancing security guarantees. By combining battle-tested sub-protocols from previous works, Stir offers a drop-in replacement for Fry, leading to improved argument size, verifier time, and query complexity. The paper presents a clear and accessible soundness analysis, making it easier to understand than previous protocols like Fry. While further testing is needed, Stir shows promise as a practical and efficient solution for privacy and scalability in Snarks.
