## Bulletproofs++ Peer Review
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This CCS will provide funding for the first step towards Bulletproofs++ implementation in Monero. (and also the planned Seraphis upgrade). Bulletproofs+ were added in the latest [Network Upgrade](https://www.getmonero.org/2022/04/20/network-upgrade-july-2022.html). They reduce the typical transaction size by ~5-7% and improve typical verification performance by ~5-7%, making every transaction lighter and faster. Bulletproofs++ claims to significantly improve upon this (e.g. ~27% smaller than Bp+).

|
|
## Scope / Deliverables
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A full peer review of the eprint version [[link]](https://moneroresearch.info/index.php?action=resource_RESOURCEVIEW_CORE&id=83&browserTabID=) of the paper. Note that at the time of writing this proposal, the paper is not yet published in a peer-reviewed conference/journal.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The deliverable is a write-up which will include recommendations, notes, weaknesses, and issues (if any) of the BP++ paper touching on:
|
||
|
|
- The soundness, completeness, and zero knowledge portions of the paper.
|
||
|
|
- Efficiency. Aggregation. Batching. MPC compatibility.
|
||
|
|
- Making sure it fits neatly and completely into the place that BP+ currently sits by checking the correctness of proofs.
|
||
|

|
## Funding
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- $16,500 + 20% buffer = $19800 gives 130XMR @ 152.30USD
|
||
|
|
- Funds are released by Core to a third party and converted.
|
||
|
|
- $16,500 will be paid directly to [CypherStack](https://cypherstack.com/).
|
||
|
|
- Excess XMR after conversion will be donated to the next Bp++ CCS.
|
||
|
|
- Any shortfalls from volatility will be paid by the Monero General Fund.
