zkarb-sdk

Write Circom. Compile. Deploy. Verify — all in just one click, Powered by Arbitrum

A zero-setup toolkit to build, deploy, and verify ZK circuits using Circom — with no Web3 knowledge required.

✨ Features

• 🧠 Write simple Circom circuits
• 🛠 Compile to .r1cs, .wasm, .zkey, and Solidity verifier
• 🚀 Deploy verifier to Arbitrum with one command
• ✅ Verify proofs using a single JavaScript function
• 🧪 No Web3 scripting, no ABI handling — fully abstracted

📦 Installation

Install in your project:

npm install zkarb-sdk

⚡️ Usage

✅ Compile Circom circuit

npx zkarb-sdk compile <path-to-your-circom-file>

This command:

• Compiles your .circom file
• Runs Groth16 trusted setup
• Outputs .r1cs, .wasm, circuit_final.zkey, and verifier.sol
• All files are saved in a folder named after your circuit (e.g., ./yourCircuit/)

✅ Test Compiled Circom Circuit

npx zkarb-sdk test <path-to-generated-folder> <path-to-input.json>

This command:

• Tests the zk System produced by the compile command
• Uses inputs provided by the developer from input.json provided
• produces proof.json and public.json
• proof.json contains the smart contract parameters, which will be used to verify it onchain
• public.json contains human verifiable outputs and proofs

✅ Deploy Compiled Circom Circuit

npx zkarb-sdk deploy <path-to-generated-folder> <PRIVATE_KEY_OF_WALLET>

This command:

• Compiles verifier.sol generated during compilation using solc
• Deploys the compiled binary to Arbitrum, taking fees from the provided wallet's private key

✅ Verify ZK Proof Programmatically

You can verify a proof directly using a single function call.

 const { verifyProof } = require("zkarb-sdk");

const result = await verifyProof({
  input: {
    // Your circuit input goes here
  },
  "<relative-path-to-generated-folder>",
});

console.log(result ? "✅ Valid proof" : "❌ Invalid proof");

• You pass input (in the form of json) & Relative path to the generated folder, which was generated during compilation process
• Automatically generates the proof and public signals
• Formats the calldata for the Solidity verifier
• Calls the deployed verifier contract on Arbitrum and returns the result

You don’t need to manually use snarkjs or interact with web3 directly — the SDK abstracts it all for you.
