Title:
Arithmetization of predicates into Halo 2 using application specific trace types

Authors: Morgan Thomas

Abstract:

This note provides an update on the Open Specification Language (OSL) circuit compiler. OSL is a language based on predicate logic which is amenable to compilation to arithmetic constraint systems for use in constructing (zk-)SNARKs. This system provides an alternative to universal zk-VMs and low level ad hoc constructions of arithmetic constraint systems, which is potentially more efficient than universal zk-VMs but more cost effective as a development approach than low level ad hoc constructions.
