Currently it is -pairing-specific, and different types of proving systems need to be implemented -as sub-modules. After the refactor, `bellman` will be generic using the `ff` and -`group` crates, while specific proving systems will be separate crates that pull -in the dependencies they require. +Currently `bellman` bundles an implementation of the Groth16 proving system. +This will be moved into a separate crate in the future, and `bellman` will +contain any utilities that make implementing proving systems easier. ## License
