# Description ## Problem\* Resolves #5574 ## Summary\* Similar to nargo's break from connecting to backends, we are looking to have developers use bb.js exclusively to access proving, verifying, gate counts, etc. Until the UX that NoirJS provides is worked in bb.js we can expose UltraHonk through NoirJS with minimal changes. This change is purely additive. I have added a new `UltraHonkBackend` that implements `Backend` and `VerifierBackend` similarly to the existing `BarretenbergBackend`. For the `Verifier` interface I just added a new method `verifyUltraHonkProof`. I have added integration tests that copy the existing integration tests. Once we are ready to move off of UltraPlonk the old tests and interfaces can be removed. ## Additional Context Reference the issue for more context. ## Documentation\* Check one: - [ ] No documentation needed. - [x] Documentation included in this PR. - [ ] **[For Experimental Features]** Documentation to be submitted in a separate PR. # PR Checklist\* - [X] I have tested the changes locally. - [X] I have formatted the changes with [Prettier](https://prettier.io/) and/or `cargo fmt` on default settings.

Problem
Barretenberg (UltraPlonk flavor) is facing a growing set of problems when generating proofs in JS:
Happy Case
Barretenberg (UltraHonk flavor)'s better memory footprint should help relieve the issues,
With UH now supporting recursive proofs, it has the minimum feature set to justify building and releasing "honk" tagged versions of
noir_jsfor users that would like to work with it.(That said, we should not naively flip
noir_js's default to UH yet as it is still missing features to be on parity with what UP offers.)Project Impact
Blocker
Impact Context
Unblocks projects that are currently blocked by proving in JS due to UP's issues.
