How does PLONK work? Part 6: From constraint systems to polynomials

blog

In this sixth video, I explain the compilation, or even compression, of a set of equations into a single polynomial. That polynomial represents all of our constraints, as long as it vanishes in an agreed set of points. With a polynomial in hand, we will be able to create a protocol with our polynomial-based proof system.

Part 7 is here. Check the full series here.
