The core of the Semaphore protocol is in the circuit logic. However Semaphore also provides Solidity contracts (NPM: @semaphore-protocol/contracts) and JavaScript libraries to make the steps for offchain proof creation and onchain verification easier. To learn more about Semaphore visit semaphore.appliedzkp.org.

You can find Semaphore V1 on version/1.0.0.

Clone this repository:

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

and install the dependencies:

cd semaphore && yarn

Copy the .env.example file as .env:

cp .env.example .env

and add your environment variables.

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

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.

Download the Semaphore snark artifacts needed to generate and verify proofs:

yarn download:snark-artifacts

Compile the smart contracts with Hardhat:

yarn compile

Run Mocha to test the contracts:

yarn test

You can also generate a test coverage report:

yarn test:coverage

or a test gas report:

yarn test:report-gas

Deploy a verifier contract with depth = 20:

yarn deploy:verifier --depth 20

Deploy the Semaphore.sol contract with one verifier:

yarn deploy:semaphore --verifiers '[{"merkleTreeDepth": 20, "contractAddress": "0x06bcD633988c1CE7Bd134DbE2C12119b6f3E4bD1"}]'

Deploy all verifiers and Semaphore contract:

yarn deploy:all

If you want to deploy contracts in a specific network you can set up the DEFAULT_NETWORK variable in your .env file with the name of one of our supported networks (hardhat, localhost, goerli, kovan, arbitrum). Or you can specify it as option:

yarn deploy:all --network kovan
yarn deploy:all --network localhost

If you want to deploy contracts on Goerli, Kovan or Arbitrum, remember to provide a valid private key and an Infura API in your .env file.
