Welcome to the world of SP1, the fastest, most-feature complete zero-knowledge virtual machine (zkVM) that allows developers to prove the execution of arbitrary Rust programs and any LLVM-compiled language programs. With SP1, even those without a deep knowledge of zero-knowledge proofs can successfully write programs and generate proofs in normal Rust code.

What is SP1?

SP1 simplifies the creation and verification of zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), allowing developers to focus on creating effective and complex applications without diving into the intricate mechanics of ZK technology. Imagine SP1 as a powerful recipe book where you can compile all your favorite dishes in Rust and ensure that you can serve them without revealing the secret ingredients – that’s the essence of ZK!

How to Get Started

Now, let’s dive into the steps you need to follow to start using SP1.

• Install Rust: Ensure you have Rust installed on your system.
• Follow the Installation Guide: Check out the installation guide in the SP1 book.
• Read the Getting Started Section: Make sure to go through the getting started section for an overview and examples.

Example Programs

Don’t forget to explore the sample programs found in the examples folder that help illustrate the capabilities of SP1.

Security Measures

Security is paramount, and SP1 has undergone rigorous audits from reputable firms such as Veridise, Cantina, and KALOS. These audits ensure that SP1 is ready for production use, enhancing the trustworthiness of the system. You can access the audit reports here.
