KIMCHI

Kimchi is industry-leading proving system that powers and secures the Mina Protocol. It's a PLONKish proof system, requiring no trusted setup with full recursion capabilities.

HOW IT'SUSED

Mina Protocol

Kimchi is the underlying proof system that generates proofs in the browser and verifies them on the Mina Protocol.

zkVM

Kimchi can also prove execution traces of code using the o1Labs zkVM. For verifiable computing without TEEs, get in touch.

Recursion

With full recursion support using the Pickles recursion layer, Kimchi proofs and incorporate many proofs into a single one, for efficient verification.

Peer-to-Peer

Kimchi proofs don't have to settle on-chain, they can also be verified peer-to-peer, enabling applications such as P2P games.

Kimchi + Pickles

Kimchi overcomes the trusted setup limitation of PLONK by using a bulletproof-style polynomial commitment inside of the protocol. Forget setup ceremonies per circuit, just get building.
