<p>We recall from the section <a href="curves.html#cycles-of-curves">Cycles of curves</a> that we can
instantiate this protocol over a two-cycle, where a proof produced by one curve is
efficiently verified in the circuit of the other curve. However, some of these verifier
checks can actually be efficiently performed in the native circuit; these are &quot;deferred&quot;
to the next native circuit (see diagram below) instead of being immediately passed over to
the other curve. </p>
