Why are we doing this

As part of the implementation path and timeline for SnapDeal, we need to carefully plan and execute the trusted setup.

The entire nature of a zero-knowledge protocol depends on there being secret values that the prover has full knowledge about them.

Circuits are basically there to create inputs we need to run the trusted setup.

Trusted setup - the challenge of doing this:

Key principle: Coordination and Logistics are a big part of making this successful:

Stages we need to execute are:

• Pre Ceremony Checklist / Todos:

• A Blog post that contains:

  The Main goal is to get a call to arms

  • Requires:

    • What circuits are we running?
    • What specs do we need for the machines that are running?
    • Ensure a link to the google form

  • Github repo setup

• The github repo should at least contain

  • A sketch of the ceremony (for those who are curious)
  • A write up of the pre-req steps (dependencies etc) that should have been completed prior
  • Minimum hardware requirements for the circuits
    • Note you’ll want to know and share this information:
      • Specs for the machine that needs to be used
      • Specs for the space on the computer required
      • Size of the files (to estimate the upload/download speed)
