Verifies a combined multilinear-evaluation BaseFold opening: a single degree-1 MLE-check interleaved with a single FRI over the piecewise-concatenated oracle of the Batched ZK BaseFold construction (whitepaper §7.2 / §sec:batched-basefold Step 2).
This is the verifier counterpart of
binius_iop_prover::basefold::prove_mlecheck_basefold. A prior batched sumcheck has
reduced the k masked opening claims to per-oracle point-evaluation claims π_i'(ρ_i) = α_i at
a shared point r ∈ K^𝐧 (𝐧 = max_i n_i). The oracle-index variables are then collapsed up
front at sampled batching challenges r' into a single combined multilinear
𝛑(X) = Σ_i e[i] · π_i^↑(X), e the indicator expanded at r', with target s' = 𝛑(r); this
routine checks 𝛑(r) = s' against the k committed codewords via one combined FRI.
§Arguments
codeword_commitments- one per oracle, in the same order asFRIParams::input_oracles, as commitment handles previously received overchannel(viaMerkleIPVerifierChannel::recv_merkle_commitment).eval_claim- the combined targets'.eval_point- the pointr(length𝐧 = fri_params.rs_code().log_dim()), low-to-high order.batch_challenge- the masking challengeγused in the FRI inner (unbatch) round.outer_challenges- the batching challengesr'(lengthlog_n_oracles) used in the FRI outer (oracle-combine) rounds.channel- the Merkle channel carrying all prover interaction: round coefficients, challenges, commitments, and query openings.
The final consistency check is asserted internally, so Ok means the opening verified.
The MLE-check folds the equality-indicator factor into its round-proof recovery.
So the final reduced value is the plain multilinear evaluation of the combined oracle at r.
On an honest opening that value equals the final FRI value.
This routine asserts their equality and rejects on any mismatch.
