SHPLONK

We present an enhanced version of the Kate, Zaverucha and Goldberg polynomial commitment scheme, and a second scheme where the proof consists of two group elements and the verifier complexity is better than previously known batched verification methods for [KZG]. Authored by: Dan Boneh, Justin Drake, Ben Fisch, and Ariel Gabizon.

ZEROMORPH

This paper introduces a new scheme to commit to multilinear polynomials and to later prove evaluations thereof. The scheme exponentially improves on the added prover costs for evaluation proofs to be zero-knowledge. Authored by: Tohru Kohrita, and Patrick Towa.

The Aztec Protocol

The Anonymous Zero-knowledge Transactions with Efficient Communication (AZTEC) protocol describes a set of zero-knowledge proofs that define a confidential transaction protocol, designed for use within blockchain protocols that support Turing-complete general-purpose computation.
