Latticefold

Latticefold is a Rust proof-of-concept library implementing the LatticeFold and LatticeFold+ non-interactive folding schemes for succinct proof systems. Its main crate includes Ajtai commitments, R1CS and CCS circuit structures, and Fiat–Shamir transcript machinery; companion crates provide ring-related components.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use it for research, prototyping or performance exploration when a Rust implementation of lattice-based folding and an R1CS or CCS circuit frontend fit the work.

Who it is for

  • Researchers prototyping lattice-based succinct proof systems.
  • Rust developers experimenting with folding over R1CS or CCS circuits.
  • Teams exploring Ajtai commitments, ring components or benchmark measurements for verifiable computation.

Documented uses

  • Build the library from source with its specified Rust toolchain.
  • Represent circuits using the documented R1CS or CCS structures for folding.
  • Explore the LatticeFold and work-in-progress LatticeFold+ implementations.
  • Benchmark protocol components and Ajtai commitments with Cargo.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and the crates are dual-licensed under Apache 2.0 or MIT.

  • The documented circuit frontends are R1CS and CCS.
  • LatticeFold+ is identified as work in progress.
  • The README says the proof-of-concept has not received careful code review and is not production-ready.
  • The specified build toolchain is nightly-2025-03-06.
  • The README estimates a full cargo bench run at around 48 hours.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Build the library from source

Compile the Latticefold library in release mode using its pinned Rust toolchain.

Before you start

  • Rustup and Cargo
  • Rust toolchain nightly-2025-03-06

Steps

  1. Install the specified toolchain with rustup install nightly-2025-03-06.

  2. Clone https://github.com/NethermindEth/latticefold.git.

  3. Change into the latticefold directory.

  4. Run cargo build --release.

Expected outcome

Cargo builds the library in release mode.

Guide limitations

  • The repository labels the implementation a proof-of-concept, says it has not received careful code review, and says it is not ready for production use.
