1# Gnark Plonky2 Verifier
 2
 3This is an implementation of a [Plonky2](https://github.com/mir-protocol/plonky2) verifier in Gnark (supports Groth16 and PLONK).

 5Besides the verifier, there are some Gnark implementation of circuits in this repo that may be useful for other projects:

11## Requirements
12
13- [Go (1.20.1+)](https://go.dev/doc/install)
14
15## Benchmark
16
17To run the benchmark,
18```
19go run benchmark.go
20```
21
22## Profiling
23
24First run the benchmark with profiling turned on
25```
26go run benchmark.go -profile
27```
28
29Then use the following command to generate a visualization of the pprof
30```
31go tool pprof --png gnark.pprof > verifier.png
32```
