# Project Slingshot
_Accelerating trajectory into interstellar space._
Slingshot is a new blockchain architecture under active development,
with a strong focus on scalability, privacy and safety.
The Slingshot project consists of the following components:
### [Demo](demo)
Demo node where one can create transactions and inspect the blockchain.
* Visit a public instance: [zkvm-demo.stellar.org](https://zkvm-demo.stellar.org).
* Run on your own machine: [see instructions](demo/README.md).
### [ZkVM](zkvm)
ZkVM is a transaction format with **cloaked assets** and **zero-knowledge smart contracts**.
* [README](zkvm/README.md)
* [ZkVM whitepaper](zkvm/docs/zkvm-design.md)
* [ZkVM specification](zkvm/docs/zkvm-spec.md)
* [ZkVM API guide](zkvm/docs/zkvm-api.md)
### [Blockchain](blockchain)
Abstract blockchain state machine for the ZkVM transactions.
* [README](zkvm/README.md)
* [Blockchain specification](zkvm/docs/zkvm-blockchain.md)
* [Stubnet specification](zkvm/docs/zkvm-stubnet.md)
### [Spacesuit](spacesuit)
Interstellar’s implementation of _Cloak_, a confidential assets protocol
based on the [Bulletproofs](https://doc.dalek.rs/bulletproofs/index.html) zero-knowledge circuit proof system.
* [Spacesuit README](spacesuit/README.md)
* [Cloak specification](spacesuit/spec.md)
### [Starsig](starsig)
A pure Rust implementation of the Schnorr signature scheme based on [ristretto255](https://ristretto.group).
* [Starsig specification](starsig/docs/spec.md)
### [Musig](musig)
A pure Rust implementation of the [Simple Schnorr Multi-Signatures](https://eprint.iacr.org/2018/068) by Maxwell, Poelstra, Seurin and Wuille.
* [Musig specification](musig/docs/musig-spec.md)
### [Keytree](keytree)
A _key blinding scheme_ for deriving hierarchies of public keys for [Ristretto](https://ristretto.group)-based signatures.
* [Keytree specification](keytree/keytree.md)
### [Merkle](merkle)
A Merkle tree API for computing Merkle roots, making and verifying Merkle proofs.
Used for ZkVM transaction IDs, Taproot implementation and Utreexo commitments.
Based on [RFC 6962 Section 2.1](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6962#section-2.1) and implemented using [Merlin](https://merlin.cool).
### [Accounts](accounts)
API for managing accounts and receivers. This is a building block for various payment protocols.
### [P2P](p2p)
Small p2p networking library that implements peer management logic with pluggable application logic.
Implements symmetric DH handshake with forward secrecy.
### [Reader/Writer](readerwriter)
Simple encoding/decoding and reading/writing traits and utilities for blockchain data structures.
