Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | Semaphore: Zero-Knowledge Signaling on Ethereum |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | A member of a group proves they are some member, and posts a signal, without showing which member. A nullifier stops the same member signalling twice in the same context. The 2020 proposal is a base layer for voting and similar uses. It is not itself a mixer, and later versions changed the circuits. |
| Who may write | Kobi Gurkan, Koh Wei Jie and Barry Whitehat |
| What is settled | An identity is a secret. The group holds a commitment to it. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Membership is only as honest as the process that added the commitment. A group of sock puppets proves nothing about people. |
| What this library says afterwards | The 2020 circuits are not the later Semaphore deployments. Cite the version you mean. |
