# Halo2 Backend for Noir

This is a [halo2](https://zcash.github.io/halo2/) backend for the [Noir Programming Language](https://noir-lang.org/)

Get [detailed documentation on this repository!](https://mach-34.github.io/halo2_backend_docs)

**WARNING: This crate is experimental and under development. Expect bugs and unoptimized circuits.**

## Acknowledgement

This crate will not be possible without

1. [barretenberg backend](https://github.com/noir-lang/acvm-backend-barretenberg)
2. [halo2-zcash](https://github.com/zcash/halo2)
3. [halo2-pse](https://github.com/privacy-scaling-explorations/halo2)
4. [halo2-axiom](https://github.com/axiom-crypto/halo2-lib)
5. the gadets and educational resources provided by the halo2 community see [awesome-halo2](https://github.com/adria0/awesome-halo2)

## Installtion

```text
git clone https://github.com/Mach-34/noir --branch demo-0.1.3
```

```text
cd noir
```

To install pse's halo2 as backend:

```text
cargo install --path crates/nargo_cli --locked --features pse_halo2_backend --no-default-features
```

To install axioms's halo2 as backend:

```text
cargo install --path crates/nargo_cli --locked --features axiom_halo2_backend --no-default-features
```

Notice that axiom's fork is built on pse's fork and should be similar.

## Examples

cd to the `crates/noir_halo2_backend_common/test_programs` folder of this crate and choose one of the tests/examples eg. 3_add

```text
cd 3_add
```

to generate proof run

```text

```text
nargo verify add
```

to generates a solidity verifier smart contract for the program run

```text
nargo codegen-verifier
```
