research

Open research questions.

light-clients

• Fast efficient batch DH technique. Currently all new transactions need to be scanned. There should be a means of efficiently batching this test for light clients initially syncing against a server.
• Anonymous fetch using an Oblivious-Transfer protocol. Light clients potentially leak info to servers based on the data they request, but with an OT protocol they do not reveal exactly what they are requesting.

cryptography

• FFT for polynomial multiplication
• finish bulletproofs impl
• halo2 lookup
• read groth permutation paper
• fflonk

blockchain

• basic sequencer architecture design
• basic DHT design
• consensus algorithm
• solve double verify problem (potentially need need a payment inside the contract to handle exceptions)
• research polygon design
• code up a simple demo

token

• simple amm script
• bonded curve script
• quadratic funding script
• write up DRK tokenomics
• simulate in CADCAD

product

• move DRK in and out of contracts from the root chain
• first MPC services
• DAO
• auctions
• staking. Look up how TORN was distributed anonymously.
• swaps
• token issuance
• NFTs

dev

• make bitreich halo2 impl
• doc on circuit design
• https://github.com/openethereum/openethereum for ETH bridge

halo2

• mint circuit poc
• burn circuit poc
• research port from jubjub to pasta (success)
• research port from blake2b to sinsemilla and/or poseidon
• solve poseidon gadget to hash >2 elements at a time
• integrate with actual codebase

org

• clean up shared repo and migrate to wiki
