The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Tornado Cash with Halo2
Circuits were written with Circom and that’s what we’re going to change. We’ll rewrite those circuits with Halo2, the PSE implementation (the KZG one, i’ll tell you more about it in the next section).

A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
When starting with Halo2, keep in mind that there are two flavors of the framework out there: the vanilla one maintained by ZCash, and the fork by Ethereum's Privacy and Scaling Explorations team which uses a different polynomial commitment (KZG instead of IPA) that's more friendly for Ethereum.

A beginner's intro to coding zero-knowledge proofs
There are multiple languages and frameworks that you can choose from for writing ZK circuits, either general purpose (like Circom) or specific to a certain platform (like Cairo). I have tried out three different languages, Circom, Halo2, and Noir, and implemented the same circuit to compare them. The circuit proves that the user knows the results of a private set of rock-paper-scissors matches, such that the total score matches a public output. The score is calculated as specified in the definition of advent of code 2022 day 2, which I used for inspiration for the problem.
