oib 15427c96c0 chore: update file permissions to executable across repository
- Change file mode from 644 to 755 for all project files
- Add chain_id parameter to get_balance RPC endpoint with default "ait-devnet"
- Rename Miner.extra_meta_data to extra_metadata for consistency

# AITBC ZK Circuits
Zero-knowledge circuits for privacy-preserving receipt attestation in the AITBC network.
## Overview
This project implements zk-SNARK circuits to enable privacy-preserving settlement flows while maintaining verifiability of receipts.
## Quick Start
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 16+
- npm or yarn
### Installation
```bash
cd apps/zk-circuits
npm install
```
### Compile Circuit
```bash
npm run compile
```
### Generate Trusted Setup
```bash
# Start phase 1 setup
npm run setup
# Contribute to setup (run multiple times with different participants)
npm run contribute
# Prepare phase 2
npm run prepare
# Generate proving key
npm run generate-zkey
# Contribute to zkey (optional)
npm run contribute-zkey
# Export verification key
npm run export-verification-key
```
### Generate and Verify Proof
```bash
# Generate proof
npm run generate-proof
# Verify proof
npm run verify
# Run tests
npm test
```
## Circuit Design
### Current Implementation
The initial circuit (`receipt.circom`) implements a simple hash preimage proof:
- **Public Inputs**: Receipt hash
- **Private Inputs**: Receipt data (job ID, miner ID, result, pricing)
- **Proof**: Demonstrates knowledge of receipt data without revealing it
### Future Enhancements
1. **Full Receipt Attestation**: Complete validation of receipt structure
2. **Signature Verification**: ECDSA signature validation
3. **Arithmetic Validation**: Pricing and reward calculations
4. **Range Proofs**: Confidential transaction amounts
## Development
### Circuit Structure
```
receipt.circom # Main circuit file
├── ReceiptHashPreimage # Simple hash preimage proof
├── ReceiptAttestation # Full receipt validation (WIP)
└── ECDSAVerify # Signature verification (WIP)
```
### Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
npm test
# Run specific test
npx mocha test.js
```
### Integration
The circuits integrate with:
1. **Coordinator API**: Proof generation service
2. **Settlement Layer**: On-chain verification contracts
3. **Pool Hub**: Privacy options for miners
## Security
### Trusted Setup
The Groth16 setup requires a trusted setup ceremony:
1. Multi-party participation (>100 recommended)
2. Public documentation
3. Destruction of toxic waste
### Audits
- Circuit formal verification
- Third-party security review
- Public disclosure of circuits
## Performance
| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Proof Size | ~200 bytes |
| Prover Time | 5-15 seconds |
| Verifier Time | 3ms |
| Gas Cost | ~200k |
## Troubleshooting
### Common Issues
1. **Circuit compilation fails**: Check circom version and syntax
2. **Setup fails**: Ensure sufficient disk space and memory
3. **Proof generation slow**: Consider using faster hardware or PLONK
### Debug Commands
```bash
# Check circuit constraints
circom receipt.circom --r1cs --inspect
# View witness
snarkjs wtns check witness.wtns receipt.wasm input.json
# Debug proof generation
DEBUG=snarkjs npm run generate-proof
```
