fhEVM-go is an open-source library used to easily integrate the fhEVM into an EVM-compatible blockchain.

Main features

fhEVM-go gives your EVM the ability to compute on encrypted data using fully homomorphic encryption by:

• a collection of operations on encrypted data via precompiled contracts
• various additional EVM components that support encrypted computation

Getting started

In order to use the library, you need to clone the repository and build it. This is required because the library depends on the tfhe-rs library that needs to be built from source (for now), and Go doesn't support such a build.

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/zama-ai/fhevm-go
$ cd fhevm-go
$ make build

That's it! You can now use it in your project by adding it to go.mod, and adding a replace to point to your local build. An example using fhevm-go v1.0.0:

...
require(
    ...
    github.com/zama-ai/fhevm-go v1.0.0
    ...
)

replace(
    ...
    github.com/zama-ai/fhevm-go v1.0.0 => /path/to/your/local/fhevm-go
    ...
)
...

Note

The replace in necessary for now as Go build system can't build the tfhe-rs library that fhevm-go needs. It's therefore necessary that we build it manually as mentioned above, then point to our ready-to-use directory in go.mod.

Regenerate protobuff files

To re-generate these files, install protoc, protoc-gen-go and protoc-gen-go-grpc and run protoc cd proto && protoc --go_out=../fhevm/kms --go_opt=paths=source_relative --go-grpc_out=../fhevm/kms --go-grpc_opt=paths=source_relative kms.proto && cd ...

Target users

The library helps EVM maintainers to extend their EVM with the power of FHE. If you are looking for a library to deploy and use smart contracts on an fhEVM, you should better look at https://github.com/zama-ai/fhevm.
