DAO Voting Program with ZK Proofs

This repository contains the implementation of a DAO voting program using Anchor, with optional privacy voting features using Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs. The project is structured into three main folders:

1. Dao_Zk_Proof_Contract_Using_Bellman
2. Zk_Proof_Generation_For_Bellman
3. Dao_Zk_Proof_Contract_Using_Curve_Dalek

Folder Structure

1. Dao_Zk_Proof_Contract_Using_Bellman

This folder contains the smart contract implementation for the DAO voting program using Bellman ZK SNARKs.

• Purpose: Implement the DAO voting system with privacy voting using Bellman ZK SNARKs.
• Features: Voting system, results display, and optional ZK proof-based privacy voting.
• Technologies: Rust, Anchor, Bellman.

2. Zk_Proof_Generation_For_Bellman

This folder contains the implementation for generating ZK proofs and verification keys off-chain using the Bellman library.

• Purpose: Generate ZK proofs and verification keys off-chain to ensure privacy in the voting system.
• Features: ZK proof generation, verification key creation.
• Technologies: Rust, Bellman.

3. Dao_Zk_Proof_Contract_Using_Curve_Dalek

This folder contains the smart contract implementation for the DAO voting program using the Curve25519 Dalek library.

• Purpose: Implement the DAO voting system using the Curve25519 Dalek library.
• Features: Voting system, results display, optional privacy voting using Curve25519.
• Technologies: Rust, Anchor, Curve25519 Dalek.
