Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Jolt is a zero-knowledge virtual machine that proves correct execution of programs compiled to the RISC-V instruction set. Its design is lookup-centric, arguing each instruction against precomputed tables instead of hand-written arithmetic circuits, which simplifies the proving stack and shortens the path from ordinary source code to a succinct proof.
