Description

In the first stage, one could switch to ark-ff and curve implementations from arkworks, to assess performance impact.

If the first stage is successful, in the follow-up stage, we could switch the constraint system to arkworks constraint system, allowing us to leverage various gadgets from arkworks.

Research direction

Start by locating the current field, curve, and constraint-system implementations, then compare them with ark-ff and the corresponding arkworks implementations. Measure the performance impact of the field and curve change first; if that succeeds, assess whether the constraint system can also move to arkworks and record which gadgets become available.
