Hi, I’ve been looking for the UltraPLONK paper to study it but had no success. Based on some social media announcements by Aztec around 2020, I thought there would be a paper. Did the paper end up not happening? Or if it… --- ## [Common input precomputing for selectors](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/common-input-precomputing-for-selectors/185)

The selector polynomials q\_L, q\_R, q\_O, q\_M, q\_C are common public inputs and specific to a particular circuit. In this case, the verifier needs to calculate these 5 polynomials as well. My question is that what the com… --- ## [Why not use evaluations of selector polynomials in r](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/why-not-use-evaluations-of-selector-polynomials-in-r/139)

Hey! Question on the verifier steps that attempt at computing a commitment for the polynomial r: I’m wondering why the verifier uses commitments to q\_M, q\_L, etc. Can’t we do the same as we did with Z\_H(x) and x^n an… --- ## [Why splitting t?](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/why-splitting-t/138)

Hello hello, I’m wondering why the SRS didn’t include more powers of s so that we could just commit to t without splitting it? --- ## [UltraPlonk arithmetization](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/ultraplonk-arithmetization/134)

Hey hey! I’ve been reading the PLONK paper and I’m trying to understand some of the intuitions behind the paper. One thing I’ve been wondering about is what’s the difference between public input and constant polynomial. … --- ## [Strategies for integrating plookup with PLONK](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/strategies-for-integrating-plookup-with-plonk/36)

Hello all, @cwgoes, @joebebel, and I work at Metastate and are looking to integrate plookup with PLONK. We’re curious what other teams have done. In order to use plookup we need the lookup values to be sorted. I don’t … --- ## [Question on SRS of plonk](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/question-on-srs-of-plonk/84)

I am new to this field. I have a noob question regarding the srs of plonk. In page 4, table 1, this work (fast prover): the size of SRS is given by d G1, 1G2 (column 2). the size of CRS/SRS (column 3) is n+a G1, 1G2, w… --- ## [Draft Plonk intermediate opcode representation](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/draft-plonk-intermediate-opcode-representation/45)

Hi all, This is a very rough draft of a possible ‘intermediate representation’ to represent Plonk programs. The goal is not to write circuits in this language, but to present an abstraction layer that higher level langu… --- ## [R1CS-like representations of PLONK programs](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/r1cs-like-representations-of-plonk-programs/46)

Here is an attempt to define a relatively low level language/intermediary representation (IR) for turboPLONK programs that is similar to r1cs, in the sense of being defined by low-degree constraints between the program … --- ## [Welcome to discussion of PLONK-related research](https://www.plonk.cafe/t/welcome-to-discussion-of-plonk-related-research/24)
