Sirius, renowned as the most luminous star in the night sky, deceives the naked eye by appearing as a solitary point of light when, in fact, it is a binary star system. Inspired by this duality, our project bears the name Sirius, capturing the essence of folded instances that give the illusion of being a singular entity.
Sirius is an open-source Plonkish Folding Framework for Incrementally Verifiable Computation [IVC].
Within the context of an IVC scheme, the prover's role is to demonstrate that, upon consecutively applying a step function F
exactly n
times to an initial value $z_0$, the result is $z_n$. Here, the step function F
takes two inputs $zi$ and $w$, and yields an output $z{i+1}$.
The Sirius
folding framework is designed with a three-tiered architecture.
F
, fold the previous step's instance into the accumulator instance, and verify the inputs of the IVC circuit.The estimated timeline is subject to change.

IVC
instanceFor runnable examples, please check examples folder.
An example of using the API of IVC:
fn main() {
let primary = poseidon_step_circuit::TestPoseidonCircuit::default();
let secondary = step_circuit::trivial::Circuit::<ARITY2, _>::default();
// Specifications for random oracle used as part of the IVC algorithm
let primary_spec = RandomOracleConstant::<C1Scalar>::new(10, 10);
let secondary_spec = RandomOracleConstant::<C2Scalar>::new(10, 10);
let primary_commitment_key = get_or_create_commitment_key::<C1Affine>(COMMITMENT_KEY_SIZE, "bn256");
let secondary_commitment_key = get_or_create_commitment_key::<C2Affine>(COMMITMENT_KEY_SIZE, "grumpkin");
let pp = PublicParams::<
'_,
ARITY1,
ARITY2,
MAIN_GATE_SIZE,
C1Affine,
C2Affine,
TestPoseidonCircuit<_>,
step_circuit::trivial::Circuit<ARITY, _>,
RandomOracle,
RandomOracle,
>::new(
CircuitPublicParamsInput::new(
PRIMARY_CIRCUIT_TABLE_SIZE as u32,
&primary_commitment_key,
primary_spec,
&primary,
),
CircuitPublicParamsInput::new(
SECONDARY_CIRCUIT_TABLE_SIZE as u32,
&secondary_commitment_key,
secondary_spec,
&secondary,
),
LIMB_WIDTH,
LIMBS_COUNT,
)
.expect("failed to create public params");
let primary_input = array::from_fn(|i| C1Scalar::from_u128(i as u128));
let secondary_input = array::from_fn(|i| C2Scalar::from_u128(i as u128));
let fold_step_count = NonZeroUsize::new(10).unwrap();
IVC::fold(
&pp,
primary,
primary_input,
secondary,
secondary_input,
fold_step_count,
)
.expect("failed to run IVC");
}
This code will run fold_step_count
of folding steps, and also check the proof after execution.

Span lifetime tracking implemented, which allows you to understand in detail how long a particular step takes to complete.
# By default, it will output all spans with a lifetime greater than 1s
cargo poseidon-example | python3 .scripts/build_profiling.py
# It is possible to specify the bottom border of the output span
cargo poseidon-example | python3 .scripts/build_profiling.py --min-runtime 0.1s
# You can also store logs and process them at a later date
cargo poseidon-example > log; cat log | python3 .scripts/build_profiling.py
The dhat utility and the dhat-rs experimental crate are used
# Run dhat with default IVC (poseidon+trivial)
cargo cli-dhat
# Check available params of run
