This is an original implementation of Rapidsnark. The new one is in the https://github.com/iden3/rapidsnark.
rapid snark is a zkSnark proof generation written in C++ and intel assembly. That generates proofs created in circom and snarkjs very fast.
You should have installed gcc, cmake, libsodium, and gmp (development)
In ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install build-essential cmake libgmp-dev libsodium-dev nasm
npm install
git submodule init
git submodule update
npx task createFieldSources
npx task buildProvernpm install
git submodule init
git submodule update
npx task createFieldSources
npx task buildPistache
npx task buildProverServerYou have a full prover compiled in the build directory.
So you can replace snarkjs command:
snarkjs groth16 prove <circuit.zkey> <witness.wtns> <proof.json> <public.json>by this one
./build/prover <circuit.zkey> <witness.wtns> <proof.json> <public.json>./build/proverServer <port> <circuit1_zkey> <circuit2_zkey> ... <circuitN_zkey>For every circuit.circom you have to generate with circom with --c option the circuit_cpp and after compilation you have to copy the executable into the build folder so the server can generate the witness and then the proof based on this witness.
You have an example of the usage calling the server endpoints to generate the proof with Nodejs in /tools/request.js.
To test a request you should pass an input.json as a parameter to the request call.
node tools/request.js <input.json> <circuit>This prover uses intel assembly with ADX extensions and parallelizes as much as it can the proof generation.
The prover is much faster that snarkjs and faster than bellman.
[TODO] Some comparation tests should be done.
