Folding Schemes: Why they matter and how they are not employed in the best way possible (Part 1) https://hackmd.io/@srinathsetty/S1biKMlxxg
@srinathtv discussed the importance of folding schemes and their performance issues in practical applications in blog, particularly highlighting the superiority of NeutronNova and Neo folding schemes. @srinathtv 在博客中讨论了折叠方案的重要性及其在实际应用中的性能问题，特别强调了NeutronNova和Neo折叠方案的优越性。
Notes
- Folding reduces prover's cost by eliminating significant parts of the prover's work.
- Recursive proof composition becomes practical and efficient.
- Implementation details—especially memory checking and MSM—make or break performance.
- Popular elliptic curve libraries often miss optimization opportunities, leaving performance on the table.
