Truze is a decentralized platform for news verification that leverages Zero-Knowledge (ZK) proofs and blockchain technology to ensure the authenticity and credibility of news content. The platform implements a federated system where users can verify news articles while maintaining privacy and security.

• ZK-Proof Based Verification: Implements zero-knowledge proofs for secure and private news verification
• Decentralized Architecture: Built on blockchain technology for transparency and immutability
• User Authentication: Secure authentication using Privy for wallet and email-based login
• Base Sepolia Integration: Deployed on Base Sepolia testnet for efficient and cost-effective transactions
• Modern UI/UX: Built with Next.js and Chakra UI for a responsive and intuitive user interface

• Frontend:

  • Next.js 13
  • React 18
  • Chakra UI
  • TailwindCSS
  • Framer Motion

• Blockchain:

  • Hardhat
  • Solidity
  • Web3.js
  • OpenZeppelin Contracts

• Authentication:

  • Privy
  • WalletConnect

• ZK Implementation:

  • Circomlib
  • SnarkJS

• Node.js (v16 or higher)
• Yarn or npm
• MetaMask or any Web3 wallet
• Base Sepolia testnet ETH
