o1js 
ℹ️ o1js is an evolution of SnarkyJS which saw 49 updated versions over two years of development with 43,141 downloads.
This name change to o1js reflects the evolution of our vision for the premiere toolkit used by developers to build zero knowledge-enabled applications, while paying homage to our technology's recursive proof generation capabilities.
Your favorite functionality stays the same and transitioning to o1js is a quick and easy process:
To update zkApp-cli, run the following command:
npm i -g zkapp-cli@latestTo remove the now-deprecated SnarkyJS package and install o1js, run the following command:
npm remove snarkyjs && npm install o1jsFor existing zkApps, make sure to update your imports from
snarkyjstoo1jsNo need to redeploy, you are good to go!
o1js
o1js helps developers build apps powered by zero knowledge (zk) cryptography.
The easiest way to write zk programs is using o1js.
o1js is a TypeScript library for zk-SNARKs and zkApps. You can use o1js to write zk smart contracts based on zero-knowledge proofs for the Mina Protocol.
o1js is automatically included when you create a project using the zkApp CLI.

| setNumberOfWorkers | Set the number of workers to use for parallelizing the proof generation. By default the number of workers is set to the number of physical CPU cores on your machine, but there may be some instances where you want to set the number of workers manually. Some machines may have a large number of cores, but not enough memory to support that many workers. In that case, you can set the number of workers to a lower number to avoid running out of memory. On the other hand, some machines with heterogeneous cores may benefit from setting the number of workers to a lower number to avoid contention between core types if load-link/store-conditional multithreading is used. Feel free to experiment and see what works best for your use case. Maybe you can squeeze slightly more performance out by tweaking this value :) |
