ZeroByte | Pioneering Private Transfers on Solana

Overview

ZeroByte is a groundbreaking privacy solution for decentralized finance, implementing a secure private transfer system on the Solana blockchain. Leveraging advanced zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), ZeroByte enables users to transfer SOL tokens with complete confidentiality, concealing transaction amounts and participant addresses from public view.

Features

• Private Transfers: Hide transaction amounts and participant addresses.
• Zero-Knowledge Proofs: Prove ownership and sufficient balance without revealing sensitive information.
• Stealth Addresses: Generate one-time addresses for receiving funds privately.
• Custom SPL Token: Implement a Solana token with built-in privacy features.
• On-chain Verification: Validate ZKPs within Solana smart contracts.

Architecture

The system consists of the following key components:

1. ZKP System: Generates and verifies zero-knowledge proofs.
2. Stealth Address System: Manages creation and recovery of stealth addresses.
3. Solana Program: Smart contract for on-chain operations and verification.
4. Backend API: Provides high-level methods for initiating and receiving transfers.
5. Main Service: Coordinates all components and exposes the API.

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v14 or later)
• Rust (latest stable version)
• Solana CLI tools
• A Solana wallet with some SOL for deployment and transactions

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/zr0byte/zerobyte.git
   cd zerobyte
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

Security Considerations

• Protect private keys and sensitive data carefully.
• Conduct thorough security audits before deploying to mainnet.
• Implement rate limiting and other measures to prevent abuse.
• Regularly update dependencies to patch potential vulnerabilities.
