The Long-Term Vision

Unifying Zero Knowledge Development​

zkSDK is an open-source initiative that aims to revolutionize how developers interact with zero-knowledge technologies by providing a unified, intuitive SDK for all ZK-related development.

Our Vision​

We envision a future where developers can seamlessly work with any zero-knowledge or fully homomorphic encryption (FHE) technology through a single, unified JavaScript SDK. Imagine writing one piece of code that works across multiple ZK platforms with minimal modifications:

// The same code pattern working across different platforms
const token = new ZkToken({
  platform: 'mina' | 'ethereum' | 'midnight' | 'fhe' |
  type: 'zkp' | 'fhe',
  // Platform-specific configs handled internally
});

// Deploy and interact using consistent patterns
await token.deploy();
await token.transfer(to, amount);
await token.generateProof();

// Deploy and interact with zkVMs the same way
const zkApp = new ZkVM({
  platform: 'SP1' | 'Valida' | 'RISCZero',
  // zkVM-specific configs handled internally
});

await zkApp.deploy(code);
await zkApp.execute(input);
await zkApp.verifyExecution();

Our goal is to abstract away the complexity of different ZK implementations, allowing developers to focus on building their applications rather than dealing with the intricacies of each platform.

Core Components​

Unified ZK Development​

  • Write ZK applications using familiar patterns across all supported platforms
  • Abstract away complex implementation details:
    • ZK Circuit development
    • Cryptographic primitives
    • Smart contract interactions
    • Proof generation and verification
  • Develop once, deploy, and interact with all ZK platforms using the same scripts, ensuring a seamless and unified experience for every ZK application.

Cross-Platform ZK Operations and Integration​

  • Generate and verify proofs using consistent patterns across all supported platforms
  • Interact with various ZK virtual machines through a unified interface, abstracting away platform-specific complexities
  • Support for custom ZK circuits with automated compilation and deployment
  • Ensure consistent state management and proof verification across different environments

Proof Aggregation and Trustless Verification​

  • Aggregate proofs from multiple sources to streamline verification processes
  • Enable trustless verification across platforms, ensuring security and integrity
  • Facilitate seamless connections between proofs and verifications, enhancing cross-platform operability

Developer Tools​

  • Simple JavaScript interfaces that feel native to web developers
  • Built-in testing and deployment tools that work across platforms
  • Automated proof generation and verification

Join the Journey​

We're building the future of privacy-preserving computation. This is an open-source initiative focused on making zero-knowledge technology accessible to every developer, regardless of their preferred platform or token standard.
