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 did, can someone please let me know where I can find it?

If there’s no paper I’d appreciate any directions to the best resources to study it. Thank you!

Not sure about the paper, but there’s this [Aztec doc](https://docs.aztec.network/protocol-specs/cryptography/proving-system/overview#ultra-plonk).

Which can be used in the proving backend, Barreteneberg, [here](https://github.com/AztecProtocol/aztec-packages/blob/master/barretenberg/cpp/src/barretenberg/bb/main.cpp#L1377).

Lastly, you can check out the Aztec forum too, eg [Honk!](https://forum.aztec.network/c/honk/8).
