Circom

Definition

Circom is a domain-specific language and compiler for creating arithmetic circuits, primarily used in the development of zero-knowledge proofs. It allows developers to express computations in a high-level language, which the compiler then translates into a format suitable for generating cryptographic proofs. This tool simplifies the process of building privacy-preserving applications and verifiable computations on blockchains. Circom is instrumental in advancing zero-knowledge technology.
