Veil Privacy SDK — private execution & privacy tooling

markdown

VeilIntent Python SDK

A Python SDK for creating private, cross-chain transaction intents using zero-knowledge proofs.
Designed for multi-chain privacy, secure messaging, and frictionless intent-based workflows.

---

✨ Features

• 🔐 Private Transactions using ZK proofs
• 🔗 20+ Chains Supported — ETH, SOL, StarkNet, Base, Sei, AVAX, SUI & more
• ⚡ Simple Intent API for sending encrypted transaction intents
• 📡 WebSocket Proof Streaming (sync + async)
• 🛡️ HMAC Signing + End-to-End Encryption
• 🧱 Production-Ready Python client
• 🔬 Multiple Proof Systems: Noir (StarkNet), Groth16 (EVM), PLONK (Solana)

---

📦 Installation

pip install Veil-privacy

---

🚀 Quick Start

from Veil_intent import ZKIntentSDK

# Initialize SDK
sdk = ZKIntentSDK(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    hmac_secret="your_hmac_secret"
)

# Create a private intent
payload = {
    "recipient": "0x742d35Cc6634C0532925a3b844Bc9e90F8886B28",
    "amount": 1.5,
    "token": "ETH",
    "walletType": "starknet"
}

result = sdk.create_intent(
    payload=payload,
    wallet_signature="0x1234567890abcdef",
    metadata={"note": "Private payment"}
)

print(f"✅ Intent created! ID: {result.get('intentId')}")

📚 Documentation

Initialize the SDK

from Veil_intent import ZKIntentSDK

sdk = ZKIntentSDK(
    api_key="your_api_key",
    hmac_secret="your_hmac_secret",
    base_url="https://api.Veilprivacy.com/api"
)

Create a Private Intent

import json
from eth_account import Account
from web3 import Web3

payload = {
    "recipient": "0x...",
    "amount": 1.5,
    "token": "ETH",
    "walletType": "eip-155"
}

# Sign payload with wallet
account = Account.from_key("your_private_key")
message_hash = Web3.keccak(text=json.dumps(payload))
wallet_signature = account.signHash(message_hash).signature.hex()

result = sdk.create_intent(
    payload=payload,
    wallet_signature=wallet_signature,
    metadata={"note": "Payment"}
)

# Response includes proof system details
print(f"Proof System: {result.get('proofSystem', 'Noir')}")
print(f"Circuit ID: {result.get('circuitId')}")

---

Proof Verification Status

# Get proof verification details
intent = sdk.get_intent("intent_123")
proof_status = intent.get('proofStatus', {})

print(f"Proof System: {proof_status.get('system')}")
print(f"Verification Status: {proof_status.get('status')}")
print(f"Verifier Address: {proof_status.get('verifierAddress')}")
print(f"Gas Used: {proof_status.get('gasUsed')}")

---

Listen for Proofs

def on_proof_received(proof_data):
    print(f"Proof ready!")
    print(f"System: {proof_data.get('proofSystem')}")
    print(f"Proof Hash: {proof_data.get('proofHash')}")
    print(f"Verification TX: {proof_data.get('verificationTx')}")
    print(f"Circuit Public Inputs: {proof_data.get('publicInputs')}")

sdk.listen_proof(result['intentId'], on_proof_received)

# OR async:
import asyncio
asyncio.run(sdk.listen_proof_async(result['intentId'], on_proof_received))

---

Check Intent Status

intent = sdk.get_intent("intent_123")
intents = sdk.list_intents(limit=10, offset=0)

---

🔧 Advanced Usage

Error Handling

from Veil_intent import ValidationError, APIError

try:
    sdk.create_intent(payload, signature)
except ValidationError as e:
    print("Validation error:", e)
except APIError as e:
    print(f"API error ({e.status_code}): {e}")

---

Context Manager

with ZKIntentSDK(api_key, hmac_secret) as sdk:
    result = sdk.create_intent(payload, signature)
