Jolt

imgs/jolt_alpha.png

Just One Lookup Table.

Jolt is a zkVM (zero-knowledge virtual machine) for RISC-V, built to be the simplest, fastest, and most extensible general-purpose of its kind. This repository currently contains an implementation of Jolt for the RISC-V 32-bit Base Integer instruction set (RV32I). Contributors are welcome!

The Jolt paper was written by Arasu Arun, Srinath Setty, and Justin Thaler.

Quickstart

Note

Jolt is in alpha and is not suitable for production use yet.

For developers looking to build using Jolt, check out the Quickstart guide.

For developers looking to contribute to Jolt, follow the instructions below.

Installation

You will need Rust nightly. To compile the guest programs to RV32I, you will need to add the compilation target using rustup:

rustup target add riscv32i-unknown-none-elf

Finally, clone this repo:

git clone git@github.com:a16z/jolt.git

Build

This repository uses workspaces, and each workspace can be built individually, e.g.

cargo build -p jolt-core

For faster incremental builds, use the build-fast profile:

cargo build --profile build-fast jolt-core

Test

Unit and end-to-end tests for jolt-core can be run using the following command:

cargo test -p jolt-core

Examples in the examples directory can be run using e.g.

```cargo run --release -p sha2-chain`

Performance profiling

Jolt uses tracing_chrome for performance profiling.

To generate a trace, run:

cargo run --profile build-fast -p jolt-core trace --name sha3 --format chrome

Where --name can be sha2, sha3, sha2-chain, or fibonacci. The corresponding guest programs can be found in the examples directory. The benchmark inputs are provided in bench.rs.

The above command will output a JSON file, e.g. trace-1712455107389520.json, which can be viewed in Perfetto.
