Building a zero-knowledge cash system involves several key components including commitment schemes, zero-knowledge proofs, and transaction logic.
The implementation follows a phased approach, starting with core cryptographic primitives and building up to a complete system.
Install required libraries and configure development environment
Implement commitment schemes and zero-knowledge proofs
Build transaction creation and verification systems
Write tests and implement security best practices
Deploy to production and monitor performance
// Basic commitment creation
const commitment = createCommitment(amount, randomness);
// Generate zero-knowledge proof
const proof = generateProof(commitment, secret);
// Verify transaction
const isValid = verifyProof(proof, commitment);
This is a simplified example. The full implementation includes proper error handling, security considerations, and integration with blockchain networks.
