Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Sonic: Zero-Knowledge SNARKs from Linear-Size Universal and Updatable Structured Reference Strings |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Sonic uses a structured reference string that is universal: one setup can serve many circuits, and it can be updated so the toxic waste is harder to keep. |
| Who may write | Mary Maller, Sean Bowe, Markulf Kohlweiss and Sarah Meiklejohn |
| What is settled | The reference string is not tied to one program. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Universal does not mean no setup. |
| What this library says afterwards | A reading of the public document. Not a copy of it, and not a claim about a later network that reused the name. |
