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.

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.
You will need Rust nightly.
If you have rustup installed, you do not need to do anything as it will
automatically install the right toolchain and install additional target on the
first cargo invocation.
Clone this repo:
git clone git@github.com:a16z/jolt.git
To check if rustup has picked the right version of Rust run rustup show
inside the cloned repository.
cd jolt; rustup show.
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 -p jolt-core
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
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.
