Add merkle tree glossary + mermaid graph example (#298)

# Bring Back WebAssembly Support for ZeroKit

- Update minor versions of all dependencies.
- Update documentation to reflect these changes.
- ~~Vendor `wasmer` v4.4.0 in [my git
repository](https://github.com/vinhtc27/wasmer) for `ark-circom`
v0.5.0.~~
- Resolve `wasm-pack` build failures (`os error 2`) caused by a Node.js
version mismatch.
- Restore the previous CI pipeline for the `rln-wasm` feature and update
to the stable toolchain.
- ~~Use `ark-circom` with the `wasm` feature for WebAssembly
compatibility and the `rln.wasm` file for witness calculation.~~
- ~~Fix dependency issues related to `ark-circom` v0.5.0, which
currently uses `wasmer` v4.4.0 and is affected by this
[issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/91632#issuecomment-1477914703).~~
- Install WABT with `brew` and `apt-get` instead of cloning to fix
`wasm-strip not found` issue in the CI workflow.
- Install `wasm-pack` with `curl` instead of using `wasm-pack-action` to
fix parse exception error in the CI workflow.
- Use the `.wasm` file with JS bindings for witness calculation, which
is generated from [`iden3/circom`](https://github.com/iden3/circom)
during circuit compilation. This allows witness computation outside RLN
instance.
- Refactor the `rln` module by moving circuit-related files to the
`src/circuit` folder for better organization.
- Remove `ark-circom` and `wasmer` by cloning the
[CircomReduction](3c95ed98e2/src/circom/qap.rs (L12))
struct and the
[read_zkey](3c95ed98e2/src/zkey.rs (L53))
function into the `rln` module, which reduces the repository's build
size and speeds up compilation time and the CI workflow duration.
- These change also address
[#282](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/issues/282) by removing
`wasmer` and `wasmer-wasix`, which lack x32 system support.
- Benchmark `rln-wasm` with `wasm_bindgen_test`, covering RLN instance
creation, key generation, witness calculation, proving, and
verification. Also, add them to `v0.6.1` in
[benchmark-v0.6.1](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/benchmark-v0.6.1)
for comparison.
- Add `arkzkey` feature for rln-wasm, including tests, benchmarks, CI
workflow updates, and related documentation.
- Benchmark rln-wasm in the browser using HTML, covering initialization,
RLN instance creation, proving, and verification; fork to the
`benchmark-v0.7.0` branch for later use
[here](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/benchmark-v0.7.0).
- Fix clippy error: "this `repeat().take()` can be written more
concisely" on CI workflow for `utils` module.
([error](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/actions/runs/14258579070/job/39965568013))
- Update Makefile.toml to be able to run `make build`, `make test`, and
`make bench` from root and inside each modules.

+[![License: Apache 2.0](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-Apache%202.0-blue.svg)](https://opensource.org/licenses/Apache-2.0)
 
-## Initial scope
+A collection of Zero Knowledge modules written in Rust and designed to be used in other system programming environments.
 
-Focus on RLN and being able to use [Circom](https://iden3.io/circom) based
-version through ark-circom, as opposed to the native one that currently exists
-in Rust.
+## Overview
 
-## Acknowledgements
+Zerokit provides zero-knowledge cryptographic primitives with a focus on performance, security, and usability.
+The current focus is on Rate-Limiting Nullifier [RLN](https://github.com/Rate-Limiting-Nullifier) implementation.
 
-- Uses [ark-circom](https://github.com/gakonst/ark-circom), Rust wrapper around Circom.
+Current implementation is based on the following [specification](https://github.com/vacp2p/rfc-index/blob/main/vac/raw/rln-v2.md)
+and focused on RLNv2 which allows to set a rate limit for the number of messages that can be sent by a user.
 
-- Inspired by Applied ZKP group work, e.g. [zk-kit](https://github.com/appliedzkp/zk-kit).
+## Features
 
-- [RLN library](https://github.com/kilic/rln) written in Rust based on Bellman.
+- **RLN Implementation**: Efficient Rate-Limiting Nullifier using zkSNARKs
+- **Circom Compatibility**: Uses Circom-based circuits for RLN
+- **Cross-Platform**: Support for multiple architectures (see compatibility note below)
+- **FFI-Friendly**: Easy to integrate with other languages
 
-- [semaphore-rs](https://github.com/worldcoin/semaphore-rs) written in Rust based on ark-circom.
+## Architecture
 
-## Users
-
-Zerokit is used by -
-
-- [nwaku](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku)
-- [js-rln](https://github.com/waku-org/js-rln)
+Zerokit currently focuses on RLN (Rate-Limiting Nullifier) implementation using [Circom](https://iden3.io/circom) circuits through ark-circom, providing an alternative to existing native Rust implementations.
 
 ## Build and Test
 
-To install missing dependencies, run the following commands from the root folder
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> For WASM support or x32 architecture builds, use version `0.6.1`. The current version has dependency issues for these platforms. WASM support will return in a future release.
+
+### Install Dependencies
 
 ```bash
 make installdeps
 ```
 
-To build and test all crates, run the following commands from the root folder
+### Build and Test All Crates
 
 ```bash
 make build
 make test
 ```
 
-## Release assets
+## Release Assets
 
-We use [`cross-rs`](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) to cross-compile and generate release assets for rln.
+We use [`cross-rs`](https://github.com/cross-rs/cross) to cross-compile and generate release assets:
+
+```bash
+# Example: Build for specific target
+cross build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --release -p rln
+```
+
+## Used By
+
+Zerokit powers zero-knowledge functionality in:
+
+- [**nwaku**](https://github.com/waku-org/nwaku) - Nim implementation of the Waku v2 protocol
+- [**js-rln**](https://github.com/waku-org/js-rln) - JavaScript bindings for RLN
+
+## Acknowledgements
+
+- Inspired by [Applied ZKP](https://zkp.science/) group work, including [zk-kit](https://github.com/appliedzkp/zk-kit)
+- Uses [ark-circom](https://github.com/gakonst/ark-circom) for zkey and Groth16 proof generation
+- Witness calculation based on [circom-witnesscalc](https://github.com/iden3/circom-witnesscalc) by iden3.
+The execution graph file used by this code has been generated by means of the same iden3 software.
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> The circom-witnesscalc code fragments have been borrowed instead of depending on this crate,
+    because its types of input and output data were incompatible with the corresponding zerokit code fragments,
+    and circom-witnesscalc has some dependencies, which are redundant for our purpose.

+# Zerokit RLN-CLI
+
+The Zerokit RLN-CLI provides a command-line interface for interacting with the public API of the [Zerokit RLN Module](../rln/README.md).
+
+It also contain:
+
++ [Relay Example](#relay-example) to demonstrate the use of the RLN module for spam prevention.
++ [Stateless Example](#stateless-example) to demonstrate the use of the RLN module for stateless features.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The CLI can be configured using a JSON configuration file (see the [example](example.config.json)).
+
+You can specify the configuration file path using the `RLN_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable:
+
+```bash
+export RLN_CONFIG_PATH=example.config.json
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can provide the configuration file path as an argument for each command:
+
+```bash
+RLN_CONFIG_PATH=example.config.json cargo run -- <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+If the configuration file is empty, default settings will be used, but the tree data folder will be temporary and not saved to the preconfigured path.
+
+We recommend using the example config, as all commands (except `new` and `create-with-params`) require an initialized RLN instance.
+
+## Feature Flags
+
+The CLI supports optional features. To enable the **arkzkey** feature, run:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --features arkzkey -- <SUBCOMMAND> [OPTIONS]
+```
+
+For more details, refer to the [Zerokit RLN Module](../rln/README.md) documentation.
+
+## Relay Example
+
+The following [Example](src/examples/relay.rs) demonstrates how RLN enables spam prevention in anonymous environments for multple users.
+
+You can run the example using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example relay
+```
+
+or with the **arkzkey** feature flag:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example relay --features arkzkey
+```
+
+You can also change **MESSAGE_LIMIT** and **TREEE_HEIGHT** in the [relay.rs](src/examples/relay.rs) file to see how the RLN instance behaves with different parameters.
+
+The customize **TREEE_HEIGHT** constant differs from the default value of `20` should follow [Custom Circuit Compilation](../rln/README.md#advanced-custom-circuit-compilation) instructions.
+
+## Stateless Example
+
+The following [Example](src/examples/stateless.rs) demonstrates how RLN can be used for stateless features by creating the Merkle tree outside of RLN instance.
+
+This example function similarly to the [Relay Example](#relay-example) but uses a stateless RLN and seperate Merkle tree.
+
+You can run the example using the following command:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example stateless --features stateless
+```
+
+or with the **arkzkey** feature flag:
+
+```bash
+cargo run --example stateless --features stateless,arkzkey
+```
+
+## CLI Commands
+
+### Instance Management
+
+To initialize a new RLN instance:
+
+```bash
+cargo run new --tree-height <HEIGHT>
+```
+
+To initialize an RLN instance with custom parameters:
+
+```bash
+cargo run new-with-params --resources-path <PATH> --tree-height <HEIGHT>
+```
+
+To update the Merkle tree height:
+
+```bash
+cargo run set-tree --tree-height <HEIGHT>
+```
+
+### Leaf Operations
+
+To set a single leaf:
+
+```bash
+cargo run set-leaf --index <INDEX> --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To set multiple leaves:
+
+```bash
+cargo run set-multiple-leaves --index <START_INDEX> --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To reset multiple leaves:
+
+```bash
+cargo run reset-multiple-leaves --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To set the next available leaf:
+
+```bash
+cargo run set-next-leaf --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To delete a specific leaf:
+
+```bash
+cargo run delete-leaf --index <INDEX>
+```
+
+### Proof Operations
+
+To generate a proof:
+
+```bash
+cargo run prove --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To generate an RLN proof:
+
+```bash
+cargo run generate-proof --input <INPUT_PATH>
+```
+
+To verify a proof:
+
+```bash
+cargo run verify --input <PROOF_PATH>
+```
+
+To verify a proof with multiple Merkle roots:
+
+```bash
+cargo run verify-with-roots --input <INPUT_PATH> --roots <ROOTS_PATH>
+```
+
+### Tree Information
+
+To retrieve the current Merkle root:
+
+```bash
+cargo run get-root
+```
+
+To obtain a Merkle proof for a specific index:
+
+```bash
+cargo run get-proof --index <INDEX>
+```

 # RLN for WASM
+
 This library is used in [waku-org/js-rln](https://github.com/waku-org/js-rln/)
 
-## Building the library
-1. Install `wasm-pack`
-```
+> **Note**: This project requires `wasm-pack` for compiling Rust to WebAssembly and `cargo-make` for running the build commands. Make sure both are installed before proceeding.
+
+Install `wasm-pack`:
+
+```bash
 curl https://rustwasm.github.io/wasm-pack/installer/init.sh -sSf | sh
 ```
-2. Install `cargo-make`
-```
+
+Install `cargo-make`
+
+```bash
 cargo install cargo-make
 ```
 
-OR
+Or install everything needed for `zerokit` at the root of the repository:
 
-```
+```bash
 make installdeps
 ```
-3. Compile zerokit for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`:
-```
+
+## Building the library
+
+First, navigate to the rln-wasm directory:
+
+```bash
 cd rln-wasm
-cargo make build
-```
-4. Compile a slimmer version of zerokit for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`:
-```
-cd rln-wasm
-cargo make post-build
 ```
 
-## Running tests
+Compile zerokit for `wasm32-unknown-unknown`:
+
+```bash
+cargo make build
 ```
-cd rln-wasm
+
+Or compile with the **arkzkey** feature enabled
+
+```bash
+cargo make build_arkzkey
+```
+
+## Running tests and benchmarks
+
+```bash
 cargo make test
 ```
 
-## Publishing a npm package
+Or test with the **arkzkey** feature enabled
+
+```bash

 # Zerokit RLN Module
 
-This module provides APIs to manage, compute and verify [RLN](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/32/) zkSNARK proofs and RLN primitives.
+[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/rln.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/rln)
 
-## Pre-requisites
+The Zerokit RLN Module provides a Rust implementation for working with Rate-Limiting Nullifier [RLN](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/32/) zkSNARK proofs and primitives. This module allows you to:
 
-### Install dependencies and clone repo
+- Generate and verify RLN proofs
+- Work with Merkle trees for commitment storage
+- Implement rate-limiting mechanisms for distributed systems
 
-```sh
-make installdeps
-git clone https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit.git
-cd zerokit/rln
-```
+## Quick Start
 
-### Build and Test
-
-To build and test, run the following commands within the module folder
-
-```bash
-cargo make build
-cargo make test
-```
-
-### Compile ZK circuits
-
-The `rln` (https://github.com/rate-limiting-nullifier/circom-rln) repository, which contains the RLN circuit implementation is a submodule of zerokit RLN.
-
-To compile the RLN circuit
-
-```sh
-# Update submodules
-git submodule update --init --recursive
-
-# Install rln dependencies
-cd vendor/rln/ && npm install
-
-# Build circuits
-./scripts/build-circuits.sh rln
-
-# Copy over assets
-cp build/zkeyFiles/rln-final.zkey ../../resources/tree_height_15
-cp build/zkeyFiles/rln.wasm ../../resources/tree_height_15
-```
-
-Note that the above code snippet will compile a RLN circuit with a Merkle tree of height equal `15` based on the default value set in `vendor/rln/circuit/rln.circom`.
-
-In order to compile a RLN circuit with Merkle tree height `N`, it suffices to change `vendor/rln/circuit/rln.circom` to
-
-```
-pragma circom 2.0.0;
-
-include "./rln-base.circom";
-
-component main {public [x, epoch, rln_identifier ]} = RLN(N);
-```
-
-However, if `N` is too big, this might require a bigger Powers of Tau ceremony than the one hardcoded in `./scripts/build-circuits.sh`, which is `2^14`.
-In such case we refer to the official [Circom documentation](https://docs.circom.io/getting-started/proving-circuits/#powers-of-tau) for instructions on how to run an appropriate Powers of Tau ceremony and Phase 2 in order to compile the desired circuit.
-
-Currently, the `rln` module comes with 2 [pre-compiled](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/master/rln/resources) RLN circuits having Merkle tree of height `20` and `32`, respectively.
-
-## Getting started
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> Version 0.6.1 is required for WASM support or x32 architecture. Current version doesn't support these platforms due to dependency issues. WASM support will return in a future release.
 
 ### Add RLN as dependency

-### Create a RLN object
+## Basic Usage Example
 
-First, we need to create a RLN object for a chosen input Merkle tree size.
-
-Note that we need to pass to RLN object constructor the path where the circuit (`rln.wasm`, built for the input tree size), the corresponding proving key (`rln_final.zkey`) or (`rln_final.arkzkey`) and verification key (`verification_key.arkvkey`, optional) are found.
+Note that we need to pass to RLN object constructor the path where the graph file (`graph.bin`, built for the input tree size), the corresponding proving key (`rln_final.zkey`) or (`rln_final_uncompr.arkzkey`) and verification key (`verification_key.arkvkey`, optional) are found.
 
 In the following we will use [cursors](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/io/struct.Cursor.html) as readers/writers for interfacing with RLN public APIs.
 
 ```rust
-use rln::protocol::*;
-use rln::public::*;

-// We set the RLN parameters:
-// - the tree height;
-// - the tree config, if it is not defined, the default value will be set

+    utils::fr_to_bytes_le,
+};
+use serde_json::json;
 
-// We create a new RLN instance
-let mut rln = RLN::new(tree_height, input);

+    let (identity_secret_hash, id_commitment) = keygen();
+
+    // 3. Add a rate commitment to the Merkle tree
+    let id_index = 10;

+    let mut output_buffer = Cursor::new(Vec::<u8>::new());

+        .unwrap();
+
+    // We get the public outputs returned by the circuit evaluation
+    // The byte vector `proof_data` is serialized as `[ zk-proof | tree_root | external_nullifier | share_x | share_y | nullifier ]`.

-### Generate an identity keypair
-
-We generate an identity keypair
-
-```rust
-// We generate an identity pair
-let mut buffer = Cursor::new(Vec::<u8>::new());
-rln.key_gen(&mut buffer).unwrap();
-
-// We deserialize the keygen output to obtain
-// the identity_secret and id_commitment
-let (identity_secret_hash, id_commitment) = deserialize_identity_pair(buffer.into_inner());
-```
-
-### Add Rate commitment to the RLN Merkle tree
-
-```rust
-// We define the tree index where id_commitment will be added
-let id_index = 10;
-let user_message_limit = 10;
-
-// We serialize id_commitment and pass it to set_leaf
-let rate_commitment = poseidon_hash(&[id_commitment, user_message_limit]);
-let mut buffer = Cursor::new(serialize_field_element(rate_commitment));
-rln.set_leaf(id_index, &mut buffer).unwrap();
-```
-
-Note that when tree leaves are not explicitly set by the user (in this example, all those with index less and greater than `10`), their values is set to an hardcoded default (all-`0` bytes in current implementation).
-
-### Set external nullifier
+### Comments for the code above for point 4
 
 The `external nullifier` includes two parameters.
 
-The first one is `epoch` and it's used to identify messages received in a certain time frame. It usually corresponds to the current UNIX time but can also be set to a random value or generated by a seed, provided that it corresponds to a field element.
+The first one is `epoch` and it's used to identify messages received in a certain time frame.
+It usually corresponds to the current UNIX time but can also be set to a random value or generated by a seed, provided that it corresponds to a field element.
 
 The second one is `rln_identifier` and it's used to prevent a RLN ZK proof generated for one application to be re-used in another one.
 
-```rust
-// We generate epoch from a date seed and we ensure is
-// mapped to a field element by hashing-to-field its content
-let epoch = hash_to_field(b"Today at noon, this year");

-let rln_identifier = hash_to_field(b"test-rln-identifier");
+### Features
 
-let external_nullifier = poseidon_hash(&[epoch, rln_identifier]);
+- **Multiple Backend Support**: Choose between different zkey formats with feature flags
+  - `arkzkey`: Use the optimized Arkworks-compatible zkey format (faster loading)
+  - `stateless`: For stateless proof verification
+- **Pre-compiled Circuits**: Ready-to-use circuits with Merkle tree height of 20
+
+## Building and Testing
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+```sh
+git clone https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit.git
+make installdeps
+cd zerokit/rln
 ```
 
-### Set signal
+### Build Commands
 
-The signal is the message for which we are computing a RLN proof.
+```sh
+# Build with default features
+cargo make build
 
-```rust
-// We set our signal
-let signal = b"RLN is awesome";
+# Test with default features
+cargo make test
+
+# Test with specific features
+cargo make test_arkzkey    # For arkzkey feature
+cargo make test_stateless  # For stateless feature
 ```
 
-### Generate a RLN proof
+## Advanced: Custom Circuit Compilation
 
-We prepare the input to the proof generation routine.
+The `rln` (<https://github.com/rate-limiting-nullifier/circom-rln>) repository, which contains the RLN circuit implementation is using for pre-compiled RLN circuit for zerokit RLN.
+If you want to compile your own RLN circuit, you can follow the instructions below.
 
-Input buffer is serialized as `[ identity_key | id_index | external_nullifier | user_message_limit | message_id | signal_len | signal ]`.
+### 1. Compile ZK Circuits for getting the zkey and verification key files
 
-```rust
-// We prepare input to the proof generation routine
-let proof_input = prepare_prove_input(identity_secret_hash, id_index, external_nullifier, signal);
+This script actually generates not only the zkey and verification key files for the RLN circuit, but also the execution wasm file used for witness calculation.
+However, the wasm file is not needed for the `rln` module, because current implementation uses the iden3 graph file for witness calculation.
+This graph file is generated by the `circom-witnesscalc` tool in [step 2](#2-generate-witness-calculation-graph).
+
+To customize the circuit parameters, modify `circom-rln/circuits/rln.circom`:
+
+```circom
+pragma circom 2.1.0;
+include "./rln.circom";
+component main { public [x, externalNullifier] } = RLN(N, M);
 ```
 
-We are now ready to generate a RLN ZK proof along with the _public outputs_ of the ZK circuit evaluation.
+Where:
 
-```rust
+- `N`: Merkle tree height, determining the maximum membership capacity (2^N members).
 
-// We generate a RLN proof for proof_input
-let mut in_buffer = Cursor::new(proof_input);
-let mut out_buffer = Cursor::new(Vec::<u8>::new());
-rln.generate_rln_proof(&mut in_buffer, &mut out_buffer)
-    .unwrap();
+- `M`: Bit size for range checks, setting an upper bound for the number of messages per epoch (2^M messages).
 
-// We get the public outputs returned by the circuit evaluation
-let proof_data = out_buffer.into_inner();
+> [!NOTE]
+> However, if `N` is too big, this might require a larger Powers of Tau ceremony than the one hardcoded in `./scripts/build-circuits.sh`, which is `2^14`. \
+> In such case, we refer to the official [Circom documentation](https://docs.circom.io/getting-started/proving-circuits/#powers-of-tau) for instructions on how to run an appropriate Powers of Tau ceremony and Phase 2 in order to compile the desired circuit. \
+> Additionally, while `M` sets an upper bound on the number of messages per epoch (`2^M`), you can configure lower message limit for your use case, as long as it satisfies `user_message_limit ≤ 2^M`. \
+> Currently, the `rln` module comes with a [pre-compiled](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/master/rln/resources) RLN circuit with a Merkle tree of height `20` and a bit size of `16`, allowing up to `2^20` registered members and a `2^16` message limit per epoch.
+
+#### Install circom compiler
+
+You can follow the instructions below or refer to the [installing Circom](https://docs.circom.io/getting-started/installation/#installing-circom) guide for more details, but make sure to use the specific version `v2.1.0`.
+
+```sh
+# Clone the circom repository
+git clone https://github.com/iden3/circom.git
+
+# Checkout the specific version
+cd circom && git checkout v2.1.0
+
+# Build the circom compiler
+cargo build --release
+
+# Install the circom binary globally
+cargo install --path circom
+
+# Check the circom version to ensure it's v2.1.0
+circom --version
 ```
 
-The byte vector `proof_data` is serialized as `[ zk-proof | tree_root | external_nullifier | share_x | share_y | nullifier ]`.
+#### Generate the zkey and verification key files example
 
-### Verify a RLN proof
+```sh
+# Clone the circom-rln repository
+git clone https://github.com/rate-limiting-nullifier/circom-rln
 
-We prepare the input to the proof verification routine.
+# Install dependencies
+cd circom-rln && npm install
 
-Input buffer is serialized as `[proof_data | signal_len | signal ]`, where `proof_data` is (computed as) the output obtained by `generate_rln_proof`.
+# Build circuits
+./scripts/build-circuits.sh rln
 
-```rust
-// We prepare input to the proof verification routine
-let verify_data = prepare_verify_input(proof_data, signal);
-
-// We verify the zk-proof against the provided proof values
-let mut in_buffer = Cursor::new(verify_data);
-let verified = rln.verify(&mut in_buffer).unwrap();
+# Use the generated zkey file in subsequent steps
+cp zkeyFiles/rln/final.zkey <path_to_rln_final.zkey>
 ```
 
-We check if the proof verification was successful:
+### 2. Generate Witness Calculation Graph
 
-```rust
-// We ensure the proof is valid
-assert!(verified);
+The execution graph file used for witness calculation can be compiled following instructions in the [circom-witnesscalc](https://github.com/iden3/circom-witnesscalc) repository.
+As mentioned in step 1, we should use `rln.circom` file from `circom-rln` repository.
+
+```sh
+# Clone the circom-witnesscalc repository
+git clone https://github.com/iden3/circom-witnesscalc
+
+# Load the submodules
+cd circom-witnesscalc && git submodule update --init --recursive
+
+# Build the circom-witnesscalc tool
+cargo build
+
+# Generate the witness calculation graph
+cargo run --package circom_witnesscalc --bin build-circuit ../circom-rln/circuits/rln.circom <path_to_graph.bin>
 ```
 
-## Get involved!
+The `rln` module comes with [pre-compiled](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/master/rln/resources) execution graph files for the RLN circuit.
+
+### 3. Generate Arkzkey Representation for zkey and verification key files
+
+For faster loading, compile the zkey file into the arkzkey format using [ark-zkey](https://github.com/seemenkina/ark-zkey). This is fork of the [original](https://github.com/zkmopro/ark-zkey) repository with the uncompressed zkey support.
+
+```sh
+# Clone the ark-zkey repository
+git clone https://github.com/seemenkina/ark-zkey.git
+
+# Build the ark-zkey tool
+cd ark-zkey && cargo build

+# Generate the arkzkey representation for the zkey file
+cargo run --bin arkzkey-util <path_to_rln_final.zkey>

+## Detailed Protocol Flow
+
+1. **Identity Creation**: Generate a secret key and commitment
+2. **Rate Commitment**: Add commitment to a Merkle tree
+3. **External Nullifier Setup**: Combine epoch and application identifier
+4. **Proof Generation**: Create a zkSNARK proof that:
+   - Proves membership in the Merkle tree
+   - Ensures rate-limiting constraints are satisfied
+   - Generates a nullifier to prevent double-usage
+5. **Proof Verification**: Verify the proof without revealing the prover's identity
+
+## Getting Involved
+
+- Check the [unit tests](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit/tree/master/rln/tests) for more usage examples
+- [RFC specification](https://rfc.vac.dev/spec/32/) for the Rate-Limiting Nullifier protocol
+- [GitHub repository](https://github.com/vacp2p/zerokit) for the latest updates

+# Zerokit Utils Crate
 
-## Building
+[![Crates.io](https://img.shields.io/crates/v/zerokit_utils.svg)](https://crates.io/crates/zerokit_utils)
 
-1. `cargo build`
+Cryptographic primitives for zero-knowledge applications, featuring efficient Merkle tree implementations and a Poseidon hash function.
 
-## Testing
+## Overview
 
-1. `cargo test`
+This crate provides core cryptographic components optimized for zero-knowledge proof systems:
 
-## Benchmarking
+1. Multiple Merkle tree implementations with different space/time tradeoffs
+2. A Poseidon hash implementation
 
-1. `cargo bench`
+## Merkle Tree Implementations
 
-To view the results of the benchmark, open the `target/criterion/report/index.html` file generated after the bench
+The crate supports two interchangeable Merkle tree implementations:
+
+- **FullMerkleTree**
+  - Stores each tree node in memory
+- **OptimalMerkleTree**
+  - Only stores nodes used to prove accumulation of set leaves
+
+### Implementation notes
+
+Glossary:
+
+* depth: level of leaves if we count from levels from 0
+* number of levels: depth + 1
+* capacity (== number of leaves) -- 1 << depth
+* total number of nodes: 1 << (depth + 1)) - 1
+
+So for instance:
+* depth: 3
+* number of levels: 4
+* capacity (number of leaves): 8
+* total number of nodes: 15

+## Poseidon Hash Implementation
+
+This crate provides an implementation to compute the Poseidon hash round constants and MDS matrices:
+
+- **Customizable parameters**: Supports different security levels and input sizes
+- **Arkworks-friendly**: Adapted to work over arkworks field traits and custom data structures
+
+### Security Note
+
+The MDS matrices are generated iteratively using the Grain LFSR until certain criteria are met.
+According to the paper, such matrices must respect specific conditions which are checked by 3 different algorithms in the reference implementation.
+
+These validation algorithms are not currently implemented in this crate.
+For the hardcoded parameters, the first random matrix generated satisfies these conditions.
+If using different parameters, you should check against the reference implementation how many matrices are generated before outputting the correct one,
+and pass this number to the `skip_matrices` parameter of the `find_poseidon_ark_and_mds` function.
+
+## Installation
+
+Add Zerokit Utils to your Rust project:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+zerokit-utils = "0.5.1"
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **FullMerkleTree**: Use when memory is abundant and operation speed is critical
+- **OptimalMerkleTree**: Use when memory efficiency is more important than raw speed
+- **Poseidon**: Offers a good balance between security and performance for ZK applications
+
+## Building and Testing
+
+```bash
+# Build the crate
+cargo make build
+
+# Run tests
+cargo make test
+
+# Run benchmarks
+cargo make bench
+```
+
+To view the results of the benchmark, open the `target/criterion/report/index.html` file generated after the bench
