Introduction
Digital anonymity has been one of the core
values of blockchain technology. As a result,
various crypto protocols have imbibed this
idea into their operating mechanism.
Prime among these crypto protocols are some
unique ones such as Zcash. They adopted a
more stringent approach to achieving on-
chain anonymity. Of course, this required them
to research into more sophisticated
cryptographic proofs and tools.
With time, some of these protocols noticed the
use cases of ZK SNARK in enhancing privacy. It
did not take long before they realized that
SNARK schemes have some peculiar limitations
regarding on-chain identity and throughput.
ZKTsunami
This issue lingered for a long time without
no one willing to research and discover a
better ZK scheme. We stood up to the task
and discovered a more secure ZK scheme
that guarantees 100% anonymity.
The core technical contribution of ZKTsunami
is the implementation and integration of
state-of-the-art, setup-free, zero-
knowledge, almost constant-size, succinct
non-interactive argument of knowledge (ZK-
AnonSNARK) schemes which can guarantee
both sender and receiver anonymity, and
the transaction amount confidentially. But
before we delve into ZK-AnonSNARK, we
shall distill ZK-SNARK first.

 Limitations

1. Trusted Setup: ZK Snarks require a trusted setup, which can be a security concern.
During the setup, a set of parameters are generated to generate the proofs.
If these parameters are compromised, the system's security can also be compromised. While

there are methods to mitigate this risk, such as multi-party computation, the trusted setup

remains a potential vulnerability.

2. High Computational Requirements: ZK Snarks require significant computational power to

generate the proofs, making them expensive and slow to use. This computational

requirement makes it challenging to use ZK Snarks in real-time applications and can limit

their scalability.

Governance
Upon conducting research on the current Proof-of-
Stake (POS) consensus mechanism and analyzing the
behavior patterns of both delegators and
validators, it is imperative that the governance
mechanism be designed to address the following
concerns:
How can the voter turnout rate be increased while
maintaining decentralization within the system?
How can a balance be maintained between the
number of votes cast and the level of
professionalism involved in decision-making?
How can the community be effectively engaged and
the governance structure introduced in a way that
promotes adoption and participation?
ZKTsunami
belief that the governance mechanism design
should exhibit three key characteristics:
universality, inclusiveness, and adaptability.
Universality implies that the decision arrived at by
the governance mechanism should reflect the
consensus of the community and promote the
sustainable operation of the same. Inclusiveness
refers to the capability of the community
governance process to generate diverse solutions,
thereby harnessing the benefits of collective
intelligence through decentralized decision-making.
Finally, adaptability entails that the governance
mechanism must cater to the interests of
community members at different stages, with an
appropriate introduction procedure in place. By
incorporating these three guiding principles, we
present the following design for the community
governance framework.

Token Tier-system: Token Vesting: Token buyback and burn:

1 2 3

We have a tier system based on the user's number of
tokens. This can provide additional benefits or
privileges to users who hold a certain amount of
tokens. For example:
Tier 1: Users holding 0.1% to 1% of ZKT tokens can
have access to basic services and a small fee
discount.
Tier 2: Users holding 1% to 5% of ZKT tokens can have
access to advanced services, larger fee discounts,
and possibly exclusive benefits.
Tier 3: Users holding more than 5% of ZKT tokens can
have the highest level of privileges, such as priority
access to services, customized features, and direct
involvement in the governance of the ecosystem.
To ensure the long-term sustainability
of the ecosystem, ZKT tokens can be
subject to vesting periods for certain
parties such as the team, advisors, or
early investors. This means that their
tokens will be locked for a certain
period before they can be fully vested
and available for use or sale. The
vesting period can vary depending on
the role and the amount of tokens held.
To control the supply of ZKT tokens and
maintain their value, the ecosystem can
implement a token buyback and burn
mechanism. This means that a portion of
the transaction fees or ecosystem profits
can be used to buy back ZKT tokens from
the market and burn them, reducing the
total supply of tokens in circulation. This
can increase the scarcity and demand for
the remaining tokens, potentially leading
to an increase in their value.

Security Considerations and Measures

ZkTsunami is a groundbreaking solution that uses

zero-knowledge proofs to enable private and
secure transactions on the Ethereum network.
We will explore the unique security properties of
ZkTsunami and how it differs from similar services
like Tornado Cash.

Only Deposited Coins
Can Be Withdrawn
1 2
One of the most fundamental security measures is ensuring that
only coins deposited into a contract can be withdrawn.
This principle is particularly important in privacy-preserving
protocols such as ZkTsunami, which enables users to conduct
anonymous transactions. In such protocols, ensuring that only
legitimate users who have deposited coins into the contract can
withdraw them is critical.
ZkTsunami achieves this security feature by implementing strict
rules that only allow the withdrawal of coins previously deposited
into the contract.
This is accomplished through a sophisticated cryptographic process
that relies on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKP) to verify that the
withdrawal request is legitimate.
By ensuring that only deposited coins can be withdrawn, ZkTsunami
protects against theft and fraud. This is because malicious actors
are unable to create fake or fraudulent withdrawal requests, as
the system only recognizes and executes transactions based on
coins that have been previously deposited into the contract.

No Coin Can Be
Withdrawn More
Than Once
The prevention of double-spending is one of the most
important aspects of any cryptocurrency system.
Double-spending occurs when a coin is spent more than
once, which can lead to the devaluation of the currency
and undermine confidence in the system.
With ZkTsunami, the unique identifier assigned to each
coin ensures that it can only be withdrawn once. Once a
coin has been withdrawn, it is removed from the pool of
available coins and cannot be used again.
This system helps to prevent malicious actors from
attempting to withdraw the same coin multiple times,
which can disrupt the system and cause financial losses.
Moreover, by ensuring that each coin can only be
withdrawn once, ZkTsunami protects against the
possibility of a coin being used for a fraudulent purpose
Withdrawal Conditions
3
Withdrawal conditions play a crucial role in ensuring the security and
integrity of the ZkTsunami contract. To withdraw a coin from the
contract, certain conditions must be met. The first condition is that
the (k,r) parameters associated with the coin must be known. These
parameters are generated when the coin is deposited into the
contract and are used to create the proof required for withdrawal.
It is worth noting that if a coin with the same k value has already
been deposited and withdrawn, it cannot be withdrawn again. This
is to prevent double-spending or fraudulent behavior that could
compromise the security of the contract. It also helps to ensure that
each coin can only be used once, a key feature of many
cryptocurrencies.
Another important withdrawal condition is that the coin cannot be
withdrawn if the k or r parameters are unknown. Only authorized
users with the necessary knowledge and access can withdraw
coins from the contract.
However, if someone knows the (k,r) values, they can withdraw the
coin even if an attacker tries interfering with the transaction. This
helps to ensure that the system remains secure even in the face of
potential attacks or manipulation attempts.

Binding Proof
1 2
In the context of ZkTsunami, binding proof means that once a user has submitted proof to
withdraw their coins, the proof cannot be used to withdraw a different coin, send funds
to a different recipient, or modify the fee amount. This feature ensures the system is
secure and prevents attackers from manipulating the transactions to their advantage.
To achieve binding proofs, ZkTsunami uses zero-knowledge proofs, which enable a user
to prove that they have the right to withdraw coins from the contract without revealing
any sensitive information about the coin or the user's identity.
The proof includes the coin's nullifier, which acts as a unique identifier for the coin and is
used to prevent double-spending. Once a coin has been withdrawn, its nullifier is added
to a list of spent nullifiers, preventing it from being spent again.
The binding nature of ZkTsunami's proof system ensures that it remains secure against
malicious actors who may try to manipulate it for their own gain. It provides users with
trust and confidence that their transactions will be executed as intended without the
risk of fraud or theft.
To illustrate the importance of binding proofs, consider a scenario where an attacker
attempts to withdraw a different coin using a valid proof. Without the binding property,
the attacker could manipulate the system to withdraw funds from an unsuspecting
user's account.
However, with the binding property, the proof can only be used to withdraw the specific
coin associated with the proof, providing an additional layer of security to the system.
The binding proof property is crucial to ZkTsunami's security and ensures the system
remains trustworthy and resilient to attack.

Cryptographic
Primitives
ZkTsunami relies on cryptographic primitives designed to provide
strong security guarantees. These primitives are based on
mathematical algorithms that are known to be resistant to attacks
by malicious actors. Specifically, ZkTsunami uses primitives with a
security level of at least 126 bits, which is considered very secure.
This high level of security helps to ensure that ZkTsunami remains
resistant to attacks and maintains the confidentiality of user data.
However, the BN254 curve used by ZkTsunami has a lower security
level of around 100 bits. While this is still considered secure, it is
important to be aware of this limitation when evaluating the system's
overall security.
Despite the lower security level of the BN254 curve, ZkTsunami has
implemented additional security measures to ensure the
confidentiality and integrity of user data. These measures include the
use of zero-knowledge proofs and advanced encryption techniques.
Combining strong cryptographic primitives and additional security
measures makes ZkTsunami a highly secure and reliable system for
protecting user privacy and security.
Potential Withdrawals
3
ZkTsunami's withdrawal mechanism allows for any deposit made from
when the contract had zero Ether up until the creation of the proof to
be potentially withdrawn. This means that users can withdraw any
deposit made within this time frame, regardless of when they made their
deposit.
However, some coins may be more likely to be withdrawn based on user
behavior. For example, suppose many users deposited and withdrew
coins with a specific denomination. In that case, it is more likely that the
remaining coins of that denomination will be withdrawn first.
To ensure fairness in the withdrawal process, ZkTsunami uses a
randomized approach to selecting which coins are eligible for
withdrawal. This means that all coins are equally likely to be withdrawn,
regardless of their denomination or when they were deposited.
This randomized approach helps to prevent malicious actors from
manipulating the system and ensures that all users have an equal
opportunity to withdraw their coins. By promoting fairness and equal
opportunity, ZkTsunami creates a more secure and trustworthy system
for users to participate in.
