1// This package implements efficient Golidlocks arithmetic operations within Gnark. We do not use
2// the emulated field arithmetic API, because it is too slow for our purposes. Instead, we use
3// an efficient reduction method that leverages the fact that the modulus is a simple
4// linear combination of powers of two.
5package goldilocks

7// In general, methods whose name do not contain `NoReduce` can be used without any extra mental
8// overhead. These methods act exactly as you would expect a normal field would operate.
9//
10// However, if you want to aggressively optimize the number of constraints in your circuit, it can
11// be very beneficial to use the no reduction methods and keep track of the maximum number of bits
12// your computation uses.
13
14// This implementation is based on the following plonky2 implementation of Goldilocks
15// Available here: https://github.com/0xPolygonZero/plonky2/blob/main/field/src/goldilocks_field.rs#L70
