Plonkish is a popular circuit format for developing zero-knowledge proof systems that powers a number of major projects in the blockchain space, responsible for holding billions of dollars and processing millions of transactions per day. These projects, including zero-knowledge rollups, rely on highly hand-optimized circuits whose correctness comes at the cost of time-consuming testing and auditing. In this paper, we present Clap, the first Rust eDSL with a proof system agnostic circuit format, facilitating extensibility, automatic optimizations, and formal assurances for the resultant constraint system. Clap casts the problem of producing Plonkish constraint systems and their witness generators as a semantic-preserving compilation problem. Soundness and completeness of the transformation guarantees the absence of subtle bugs caused by under- or over-constraining. Our experimental evaluation shows that its automatic optimizations achieve better performance compared to manual circuit optimization. The optimizer can also be used to automatically derive custom gates from circuit descriptions. |
