arkworks
arkworks is a Rust ecosystem for zkSNARK programming. Libraries in the arkworks ecosystem provide efficient implementations of all components required to implement zkSNARK applications, from generic finite fields to R1CS constraints for common functionalities.
Getting started
Below are some resources for getting started working with arkworks crates:
- Talk at Real World Crypto providing an overview of the
arkworksecosystem. - Tutorial for R1CS programming using the
ark-relations,ark-r1cs-std, andark-crypto-primitivescrates. - Quick introduction to programming with finite fields, elliptic curves, and pairings in
arkworks.
Getting Involved
We have a Discord community where folks can ask questions and learn about zkSNARK programming. We also have a Twitter where we (infrequently) post updates.
