A toolbox for writing, compiling, and verifying zkSNARKs on the Ethereum blockchain.
ZoKrates is a toolbox for zkSNARKs on Ethereum, providing a high-level language and toolchain to write, compile, and verify zero-knowledge proofs on the blockchain. It simplifies the process of creating SNARK circuits and generating Solidity verifier contracts, enabling developers to add privacy and scalability features to their decentralized applications.
Ethereum developers and blockchain engineers who need to integrate zero-knowledge proofs for privacy-preserving transactions, identity verification, or scalable computation without exposing sensitive data.
ZoKrates offers a developer-friendly abstraction layer over complex zkSNARK cryptography, with seamless Ethereum integration through auto-generated verifier contracts and tools like the Remix plugin, lowering the barrier to entry for zero-knowledge application development.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses a Python-like DSL to write zkSNARK circuits, making cryptographic programming more approachable for developers without deep expertise in zero-knowledge proofs.
Automatically generates Solidity verifier contracts for on-chain proof verification, reducing the need for manual cryptographic implementation in smart contracts.
Includes compiler, setup, witness generation, and proof generation tools, handling the entire zkSNARK workflow from code to contract deployment.
Offers a Remix IDE plugin for browser-based development and a CLI for local use, streamlining the testing and iteration process for Ethereum applications.
Explicitly labeled as not tested for production, lacking the security audits and robustness needed for real-world, high-stakes deployments.
Tightly coupled with Ethereum, limiting its utility for projects on other blockchains or those requiring cross-chain compatibility without significant modification.
Inherits the computational intensity of zkSNARKs, with slow setup and proof generation that can hinder scalability for complex circuits or high-frequency use cases.
Has a smaller community and fewer third-party libraries compared to more established tools, which can slow down troubleshooting and advanced integrations.
