ZkEther

Confidential transfers between Ether and Zero-Knowledge Ether

Comment

Inspiration

Privacy is a core human right.

What it does

Exchanges plain Ether balances on Rinkeby to AZTEC (zero-knowledge) form.

How we built it

Mainly making use of the AZTEC protocol, but we also needed:

  • Truffle
  • React

Challenges we ran into

  • Webpack
  • Accessibility of wallet software as external contributors

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Webpack half-sorted
  • Teamwork
  • Architected a complex zero-knowledge transaction flow

What we learned

  • Webpack + importing cryptography modules in the browser is HARD (ended up deploying some common reference strings on a personal blog)
  • We now have a much better understanding of side chains

What's next for ZkEther

  • Secure the cryptography by doing the AZTEC multi-party computation
  • Make Webpack work with our React code
