New Algorithm Enhances Secret Santa on Blockchain

/ 1 min read

🎁🔒 New Zero Knowledge Proofs Algorithm Revolutionizes Secret Santa on Blockchain. A novel three-step Secret Santa algorithm utilizing Zero Knowledge Proofs (ZKP) has been proposed to facilitate anonymous gift exchanges on the Ethereum blockchain. This algorithm ensures participant confidentiality while establishing gift sender and receiver relationships without a central authority. Key features include the use of a transaction relayer to maintain privacy, a method to prevent self-selection of gift pairs, and a mechanism to avoid double voting through nullifiers. The protocol can be implemented in Solidity, allowing participants to securely register and exchange gifts while keeping their identities hidden. This innovative approach addresses the challenges of privacy and randomness in on-chain Secret Santa games.
