Semaphore Boilerplate

A simple Next.js/Hardhat privacy application with Semaphore.

The code can be divided into contracts, frontend and backend.

• Greeters.sol contains the root of an offchain Merkle tree to represent the greeters (tree leaves), i.e. the identity commitments generated using the first 3 Ethereum accounts of the Hardhat testing wallet. It also contains a simple function to allow greeters to greet, only once and only if they create a valid Semaphore proof.
• The frontend code allows greeters to create a Semaphore identity with a signed Metamask message (using one of the first 3 Hardhat accounts) and a valid zero-knowledge proof.
• The backend code is an API that sends a greet transaction signed by the contract owner with the zero-knowledge proof of a greeter.
