Arkworks

Arkworks is supported by prof. Alessandro Chiesa’s lab and is used as a foundational library for various zero-knowlege proof libraries

Arkworks has started under the supervision of prof. Alessandro Chiesa. It is a collection of fundamental algorithms and structures used in various types of zero knowledge proofs. Several libraries working with zero knowledge proofs use arkworks as a foundation for the cryptographical part.

It is used for example by the Horizon project, which creates a ZK-rollup blockchain, and by the crypto library by docker.io. The crypto library from docker.io proposes many algorithms used in privacy-preserving E-ID components, and the C4DT Factory is also participating in its development.
