    Abstract: In real-world applications of SNARKs, non-native arithmetic is a key bottleneck. It introduces large overheads, and proof system designers often resort to non-standard SNARK-friendly hash-functions or other means like elliptic curve cycles to mitigate its costs. Besides performance concerns, non-native circuit arithmetization is also a major cause of implementation errors. In a collection of […]
