zkPhoto

This project demonstrates a small stepping stone toward #2 of Brian Gu’s Six ZK Moonshots. The idea is to have an on-chain data marketplace where users can trade private data, for example, “a high-res image that downsamples to a known low-res image”, using ZK. Within the scope of this proposal, the MVP is to implement a dApp that (0) use ZK to prove that the low-res image is downsized from an actual high-res image, (1) mint an NFT that contains the downsized image, *as well as the hash of the original image, (2) implement an in-browser camera for authentic on-chain photo-taking, and more. This repo will cover Phase 0 and Phase 1.

The contract has already been deployed on Harmony testnet and the first NFT has been minted.

Run npm i to install.

To compile the circuits, generate proofs, and test the contracts using the sample image/input.png locally, run

npm run test:fullProof

To deploy on Harmony testnet, run the above command first, then change the private key in hardhat.config.js to your own private key. The contracts have also been deployed to the addresses to deployed.txt and can be accessed directly.

npx hardhat deploy --network testnet

You can try minting the sample image by running:

npx hardhat run scripts/mint-sample.js --network testnet
