Circle STARK Verifier in Bitcoin Script

This repository includes Bitcoin script implements a Circle Plonk verifier in Bitcoin script, consisting of reusable components.

Building Blocks

  • M31, CM31, QM31, Circle Point: implementation of add, sub, mul of Mersenne-31 (M31) and its complex extension (CM31) and its degree-4 extension (QM31), and specifically table-based mul and non-table-based mul, and implementation of add, sub, mul of circle points, which are over the circle curve x^2 + y^2 = 1.
  • Fiat-Shamir Transcript: aka "channel", which is the name used in Starkware's stwo library, which supports absorbing and squeezing elements for Fiat-Shamir transform using hints and OP_CAT + OP_SHA256.
  • Proof-of-Work Check: verifying the proof-of-work used in FRI-based protocols.
  • FRI: implementation of the FRI quotient polynomial and the protocol for FRI low-degree testing.
  • Merkle Tree: implementation of Merkle path verification using hints and OP_CAT + OP_SHA256.
