Mobile Cryptocurrency Wallet Based on zk-SNARKs and Smart Contracts
The goal of this thesis is to propose and implement a framework for cryptocurrency wallets. The framework optimizes light client storage and bandwidth requirements in mobile devices. We propose a side-chain mechanism that validates blockchain header chains and creates zero-knowledge proofs. Furthermore, the framework stores the results of proof verification inside an Ethereum Smart contract. The Smart contract supports fork handling and storing header chains for multiple different blockchains. Light mobile clients using this framework can update their local header chain from checkpoints created by the proof verifications results stored in the Smart Contract. This thesis includes an implementation of a mobile wallet using this framework for synchronization with multiple blockchains.
