The article delves into zero-knowledge implementation in STARKs, using structured randomness to mask witness and DEEP composition polynomials, ensuring verifiers learn nothing beyond computation correctness while maintaining transparency and post-quantum security.
The article explores the mathematical foundations of the Binius protocol, focusing on binary tower constructions, finite field element representation, and optimized multiplication via Karatsuba, supporting efficient zero-knowledge proof systems.
The article introduces Circle FFT, the core algorithm of Circle STARKs, leveraging circle curves, group structures, twin-cosets, and standard position cosets for efficient polynomial interpolation and evaluation, suitable for small fields like Mersenne prime 2³¹-1.
The article explains Ethereum's Merkle Patricia Trie (MPT), combining Trie's efficient key navigation with Merkle tree's cryptographic verification for state management and consensus, enabling efficient storage, verification, and rollback.
