How does PLONK work? Part 8: A polynomial dance

blog

In this eighth video, I explain how the prover and the verifier can perform a “polynomial dance” in order to construct the circuit polynomial f. The principle is simple: the prover doesn’t want to leak information about the private inputs and the intermediary values in the circuit, and the verifier doesn’t want to give the prover too much freedom in the way they construct the circuit polynomial f.

Part 9 is here. Check the full series here.
