Semaphore is a protocol, designed to be a simple and generic privacy layer for Ethereum DApps. Using zero knowledge, Ethereum users can prove their membership of a group and send signals such as votes or endorsements without revealing their original identity.

The core of the Semaphore protocol is in the circuit logic. However Semaphore also provides Solidity contracts and JavaScript libraries to make the steps for offchain proof creation and onchain verification easier. To learn more about Semaphore visit semaphore.pse.dev.

🛠 Install

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/semaphore-protocol/semaphore.git

And install the dependencies:

cd semaphore && yarn

📜 Usage

Copy the .env.example file as .env:

cp .env.example .env

And add your environment variables.

Code quality and formatting

Run ESLint to analyze the code and catch bugs:

yarn lint

Run Prettier to check formatting rules:

yarn prettier

Or to automatically format the code:

yarn prettier:write

Conventional commits

Semaphore uses conventional commits. A command line utility to commit using the correct syntax can be used by running:

yarn commit

It will also automatically check that the modified files comply with ESLint and Prettier rules.

Testing

Run Jest to test the JS libraries:

yarn test:libraries

Run Mocha to test the contracts:

yarn test:contracts

Or test everything with:

yarn test

Build libraries & compile contracts

Run Rollup and TheGraph to build all the packages and the subgraph:

yarn build

Compile the smart contracts with Hardhat:

yarn compile:contracts

Documentation (JS libraries)

Run TypeDoc to generate a documentation website for each package:

yarn docs

The output will be placed on the docs folder.
