This repository contains the heart of the Panther Protocol code, implementing data protection infrastructure for Web3 DeFi applications.

• contracts/ - Smart contracts:
  • protocol/ - Multi-Asset Shielded Pool (MASP):
    • v1/pantherForest/ - Panther Forest Merkle tree implementation
    • v1/pantherPool/ - Panther Pool core protocol contracts
  • staking/ - Staking contracts:
    • Classic staking implementation
    • Advanced staking implementation
  • common/ - Shared utilities
• circuits/ - Zero-knowledge circuits for privacy features
• crypto/ - Core cryptographic primitives and utilities
• dapp/ - Web-based dApp interface
• subgraph/ - Subgraph code for The Graph

This codebase requires expertise in:

• EVM chains, Solidity and Hardhat
• Zero Knowledge Proofs, circuits and cryptography
• React and Web3 development
• The Graph protocol

1. Read the Whitepaper for high-level architecture
2. Read overview documentation for details on the UTXO model and cryptography
3. Set up development environment:
   • Node.js (v20 or higher)
   • Yarn package manager
   • Rust and Cargo (for circuits)
   • Circom (v2.0.5)
   • Docker (optional)

Each workspace has its own build and test procedures. See individual README files:
