zkbp

zkbp is an efficient Python interface for zero-knowledge proof (ZKP) development using the BN254 elliptic curve, built on top of Ark-bn254 and Secp256k1 libraries.

🔍 Project Description

This project provides a Python wrapper for the zkbp library, enabling:

• Zero-knowledge proof construction using Sigma protocols
• Range proofs and Bulletproof-style extensions
• Cryptographic primitives for secure and private ledger applications

The core implementation is based on BN254 (Barreto–Naehrig curve), making it compatible with common zk tools and EVM.

📦 Use Cases

zkbp is particularly suited for:

• Exploring ZKP-based ledger applications
• Prototyping cryptographic workflows in Python
• Can be used directly with PADL, a python ledger dev kit by applied-research at JPMorganChase.

🔧 Features

• Pythonic interface to Ark-bn254 and Secp256k1 libraries
• Direct access to ZK primitives and Sigma proof generation
• Extendable with advanced ZKP constructs

🚀 Getting Started

You can install or use the wrapped zkbp library in your Python projects. Example usage will be provided in future updates or within the examples/ directory (if available).
