Bonsai on Ethereum

Warning: Bonsai is still in early development. Do not use in production.

Bonsai can be used as a zk coprocessor for Ethereum, allowing you to request and receive verified proofs directly from your smart contract.

At a high level, here's how it works:

Bonsai ETH Relay overview

Our Bonsai-ETH Relay acts as a middle-man between your app contract and the Bonsai proving service. In order to use the Bonsai ETH Relay, dApp developers must have completed the following steps:

  1. Deployed a smart contract on chain that calls the relay contract
  2. Uploaded a compiled program for the zkVM to the Bonsai proving service
