Anna Shaleva 9e74fc5b47 zkp: add end-to-end Groth-16 proof generation/verification example
The example shows that the proover knows the solution of the cubic
equation: y = x^3 + x + 5. The example is constructed for BLS12-381
curve points using Groth-16 prooving algorithm. The example includes
everything that developer needs to start using ZKP on the NEO platform
with Go SDK:
1. The described cubic circuit implementation.
2. The off-chain proof generation with the help of gnark-crypto library.
3. Go verification contract generation and deployment with the help of
   NeoGo libraries.
4. The on-chain proof verification for various sets of input data.

# NeoGo smart contract examples
`examples` directory contains smart contract examples written in Go.
These examples are aimed to demonstrate the basic usage of Go programming
language to write Neo smart contracts as far as to provide a brief introduction
to the Neo-specific interop package application.
## Examples structure
Each example represents a separate folder with the smart contract content inside.
The content is presented by the smart contract code written in Go and the smart
contract configuration file with `.yml` extension.
Some contracts have a contract owner, which is needed for witness checking and
represented by the `owner` string constant inside the smart contract code. The
owner account address is taken from the [my_wallet.json](my_wallet.json). The
wallet is located under the `examples` directory, has a single account inside
with the `my_account` label which can be decrypted with the `qwerty` password.
You can use `my_wallet.json` to deploy example contracts.
See the table below for the detailed examples description.
| Example | Description |
|----------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| [engine](engine) | This contract demonstrates how to use `runtime` interop package which implements an API for `System.Runtime.*` Neo system calls. Please, refer to the `runtime` [package documentation](../pkg/interop/doc.go) for details. |
| [events](events) | The contract shows how execution notifications with the different arguments types can be sent with the help of `runtime.Notify` function of the `runtime` interop package. Please, refer to the `runtime.Notify` [function documentation](../pkg/interop/runtime/runtime.go) for details. |
| [iterator](iterator) | This example describes a way to work with Neo iterators. Please, refer to the `iterator` [package documentation](../pkg/interop/iterator/iterator.go) for details. |
| [nft-d](nft-d) | NEP-11 divisible NFT. See NEP-11 token standard [specification](https://github.com/neo-project/proposals/blob/master/nep-11.mediawiki) for details. |
| [nft-nd](nft-nd) | NEP-11 non-divisible NFT. See NEP-11 token standard [specification](https://github.com/neo-project/proposals/blob/master/nep-11.mediawiki) for details. |
| [nft-nd-nns](nft-nd-nns) | Neo Name Service contract which is NEP-11 non-divisible NFT. The contract implements methods for Neo domain name system managing such as domains registration/transferring, records addition and names resolving. The package also contains tests implemented with [neotest](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/neotest). |
| [oracle](oracle) | Oracle demo contract exposing two methods that you can use to process URLs. It uses oracle native contract, see [interop package documentation](../pkg/interop/native/oracle/oracle.go) also. |
| [runtime](runtime) | This contract demonstrates how to use special `_initialize` and `_deploy` methods. See the [compiler documentation](../docs/compiler.md#vm-api-interop-layer ) for methods details. It also shows the pattern for checking owner witness inside the contract with the help of `runtime.CheckWitness` interop [function](../pkg/interop/runtime/runtime.go). |
| [storage](storage) | The contract implements API for basic operations with a contract storage. It shows how to use `storage` interop package. See the `storage` [package documentation](../pkg/interop/storage/storage.go). |
| [timer](timer) | The idea of the contract is to count `tick` method invocations and destroy itself after the third invocation. It shows how to use `contract.Call` interop function to call, update (migrate) and destroy the contract. Please, refer to the `contract.Call` [function documentation](../pkg/interop/contract/contract.go) |
| [token](token) | This contract implements NEP-17 token standard (like NEO and GAS tokens) with all required methods and operations. See the NEP-17 token standard [specification](https://github.com/neo-project/proposals/pull/126) for details. |
| [zkp/cubic_circuit](zkp/cubic_circuit) | This example demonstrates how to create your own circuit and generate Groth-16 proof based on BLS12-381 elliptic curve points with the help of [consensys/gnark](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/consensys/gnark). It also shows how to generate, deploy and invoke Verifier smart contract to verify proofs for the given circuit on the Neo chain with the help of [zkpbindings](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/smartcontract/zkpbinding) NeoGo package. The package also contains circuit tests implemented with [gnark/test](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/consensys/gnark/test) to check the circuit validity and end-to-end proof generation/verification test implemented with [neotest](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go/pkg/neotest) to demonstrate how to build, deploy and verify proofs via Verifier smart contract for the given circuit. |
## Compile
Please, refer to the neo-go
[smart contract compiler documentation](../docs/compiler.md) to compile example
smart contracts.
## Deploy
You can set up neo-go private network to deploy the example contracts. Please,
refer to the [consensus documentation](../docs/consensus.md) to start your own
privnet with neo-go nodes.
To deploy smart contracts, refer to the
[Deploying section](../docs/compiler.md#deploying) of the compiler documentation.
## Where to start
Feel free to explore neo-go smart contract development
[workshop](https://github.com/nspcc-dev/neo-go-sc-wrkshp) to get the basic
concepts of how to develop, compile, debug and deploy Neo smart contracts written
in go.
