Questions and updates for Plasma Call #24

Task 0: token exchange mechanism for Plasma Cash

Since every coin in Plasma Cash has its own history of the transaction, all of these coins are non-fungible. The history of the coin takes place in memory. Therefore, we propose such a solution. When the history of a coin becomes very long, we need to change it. We need to deploy our “coin exchange”. Besides, this will be used when you want to exchange one “big-coin” for several “small-coins”. Note again, that all of these coins have a history.

:question:Is there already implemented coin exchange options?
I heard, that Loom working on this, but haven’t found any references yet.

Task 1: SNARKs for data compression

We will use SNARKs. In this case, we will use “horizontal” SNARKs – SNARKs which using for data compression. We will deploy a SNARK that will compress the history of the coin when it was not used.

We need to solve the problem with exit games
One of the pressing issue of Plasma Cash – all users must be online all the time.

:question:Is there solutions for exits without zkSNARKs, that works correctly on exit games?

*Task 3: SNARKs which using for exit game

Again with SNARKs. Here we will use “vertical” SNARKs – SNARKs which using for exit game. They allow them to take a snapshot and exit online.

:question:Is there already implemented “horizontal” and “vertical” SNARKs?
