Semaphore group

A library to create and manage Semaphore groups.

👥 Contributing   |   🤝 Code of conduct   |   🔎 Issues   |   🗣️ Chat & Support

This library is an abstraction of the LeanIMT data structure (part of @zk-kit/imt). The main goal is to make it easier to create offchain groups, which are also used to generate Semaphore proofs. Semaphore groups are actually Merkle trees, and the group members are tree leaves.

🛠 Install

npm or yarn

Install the @semaphore-protocol/group package with npm:

npm i @semaphore-protocol/group

or yarn:

yarn add @semaphore-protocol/group
