I’m proposing to fill-in a few of the missing sections of the halo2 book.

Without repeating myself too much, you can find the full proposal under this link and below is the proposal summary:

Milestones:

  1. Lookup tables (sec. 2.3 of the halo2 book)
  2. Gadgets (sec. 2.4)
  3. Cryptographic Groups & Elliptic Curves (sec. 5.3 & 5.4)

Timeline & costs:

  • 2 weeks per milestone @ $8,000, for a total of 6 weeks @ $24,000

Experience:

  • contributions to new features and documentation to arkworks, a cryptographic library.

Welcome to the forums @mmagician!

I think its great you want to take this on. Have you had a chance to read this recently approved grant and maybe reach out to @therealyingtong ? Perhaps together this can be more easily accomplished?

Good luck :hearts:
