Zenroom is a secure language interpreter of both Lua and its own secure domain specific language (DSL) to execute fast cryptographic operations using elliptic curve arithmetics.
The Zenroom VM is very small, has no external dependency, is fully deterministic and ready to run end-to-end encryption on any platform: desktop, embedded, mobile, cloud and even web browsers.
Zencode is the name of the DSL executed by Zenroom: it is similar to human language and can process large data structures while operating cryptographic transformations and basic logical operations on them.

Zenroom is licensed as AGPLv3; we are open to grant exceptions on a commercial basis.
Many applications already include Zenroom and use the Zencode language.
- Global Passport Project
- Keypairoom mnemonic deterministic and private keypairs
- Simple Android app to show how to use Zenroom libs
- Zexec safe remote execution of signed commands
- Micro-service to produce ECDSA signed unix timestamps
- Sawroom Transaction Processor for Hyperledger Sawtooth
- RedRoom Crypto module for Redis
- Lotionroom Tendermint / Cosmos proof of concept with Zenroom
- ZenSchnorr API for Schnorr signatures
- Great Dane DNSSEC as a AV store for Zenroom
- Zen-Web-Ext Web extensions encapsulating Zenroom functionality
To quickly try out Zenroom using the Zencode language with some examples navigate to ApiRoom and start typing into the browser.
The Zenroom VM runs locally in your browser (needs WASM) and ApiRoom provides various examples to show operational crypto flows.
ApiRoom is also an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) and by signing in with a username and password you can save your contracts and download them as a Dockerfile micro-service ready to deploy.
Dependencies: makefile, cmake, zsh, gcc
Optional: musl-libc, emscripten for wasm builds
Use this command sequence:
git clone https://github.com/dyne/zenroom
cd zenroom
make linux
to create the CLI executable in src/zenroom
make linux-lib
to create the shared library in src/libzenroom-x86_64.so
make
to list more available targets
Practical build scripts for release are provided using Meson + Ninja
meson builddir meson
ninja -C builddir
Will produce a zenroom
executable and a libzenroom
shared lib in builddir
.
