+## On-chain Plonk verification
+
+One of the requirements for the Light Client is the on-chain (Solidity) verification of Sphinx proofs generated by epoch-change and inclusion programs.
+
+This directory contains the [Foundry](https://github.com/foundry-rs/foundry) project (`solidity`) which demonstrates the Solidity verification using so-called fixtures (JSON files)
+containing the proof data (proof itself, public values and verification key) required for running the verification for both epoch-change and inclusion programs.
+The fixtures can be regenerated using `fixture-generator` Rust program.
+
+The contracts are actually located in [sphinx-contracts](https://github.com/lurk-lab/sphinx-contracts) repository which is used as a dependency.
+
+To run `contracts` forge tests:
+
+```
+% cd solidity/contracts && forge test
+[⠊] Compiling...
+[⠒] Compiling 29 files with Solc 0.8.26
+[⠢] Solc 0.8.26 finished in 1.11s
+Compiler run successful!
+
+Ran 4 tests for test/test_lc_proofs.sol:SolidityVerificationTest
+[PASS] testFail_FakeProofEpochChange() (gas: 8660281895700906413)
+[PASS] testFail_FakeProofInclusion() (gas: 8660281895700906417)
+[PASS] testValidEpochChangeProofPlonk() (gas: 318056)
+[PASS] testValidInclusionProofPlonk() (gas: 318103)
+Suite result: ok. 4 passed; 0 failed; 0 skipped; finished in 12.52ms (15.70ms CPU time)
+
+Ran 1 test suite in 154.07ms (12.52ms CPU time): 4 tests passed, 0 failed, 0 skipped (4 total tests)
+```
+
+Currently, the verification of Plonk proof (either epoch-change or inclusion program) costs ~318k gas.
+
+If you want to use custom fixtures, you can regenerate them using `fixture-generator` which runs the e2e proving (either epoch-change or inclusion) - it may take a while - and then finally
+exports fixture file and puts it to the relevant place (`solidity/contracts/src/plonk_fixtures`).
+
+To run `fixture-generator` (for inclusion program):
+
+```
+RUST_LOG=info RUSTFLAGS="-C target-cpu=native --cfg tokio_unstable" SHARD_SIZE=4194304 SHARD_BATCH_SIZE=0 cargo +nightly run --release --features aptos --bin generate-fixture -- --program inclusion
+```
+
+Then you can check that fixture file of inclusion program has been changed:
+```
+% git status
+Changes not staged for commit:
+  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
+  (use "git restore <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
+	modified:   contracts/src/plonk_fixtures/inclusion_fixture.json
+
+no changes added to commit (use "git add" and/or "git commit -a")
+```
+
+And you can re-run Solidity tests with newer fixture:
+```
+% cd solidity/contracts && forge test
+```
