}
Expand description

Convenience Enum which abstracts the scenarios under a value is added to an advice column.

Variants

Existing(AssignedValue<F>)

An AssignedValue already existing in the advice column (e.g., a witness value that was already assigned in a previous cell in the column).

  • Assigns a new cell into the advice column with value equal to the value of a.
  • Imposes an equality constraint between the new cell and the cell of a so the Verifier guarantees that these two cells are always equal.

Witness(F)

A non-existing witness ScalarField value (e.g. private input) to add to an advice column.

WitnessFraction(Assigned<F>)

A non-existing witness ScalarField marked as a fraction for optimization in batch inversion later.

Constant(F)

A known constant value added as a witness value to the advice column and added to the “Fixed” column during circuit creation time.

  • Visible to both the Prover and the Verifier.
  • Imposes an equality constraint between the two corresponding cells in the advice and fixed columns.

Implementations
