# Zama fhEVM — Solidity Confidential Contract Development

Use this skill when writing, reviewing, or debugging Solidity contracts that use Zama's fhEVM library.

## Encrypted Types

```solidity
// Integer types
euint8 / euint16 / euint32 / euint64 / euint128 / euint256

// Address & boolean
eaddress
ebool

// External input handles (from user, with ZKPoK proof)
externalEuint8 / externalEuint16 / externalEuint32
externalEuint64 / externalEuint128 / externalEuint256
externalEbool / externalEaddress
```

---

## Core FHE Operations

```solidity
import { FHE, euint64, externalEuint64, ebool, eaddress } from "@fhevm/solidity/lib/FHE.sol";
import { ZamaEthereumConfig } from "@fhevm/solidity/config/ZamaConfig.sol";

// --- Input validation ---
euint64 value = FHE.fromExternal(externalHandle, inputProof);  // verify ZKPoK, get ciphertext

// --- Arithmetic ---
euint64 sum  = FHE.add(a, b);
euint64 diff = FHE.sub(a, b);
euint64 prod = FHE.mul(a, b);

// --- Comparison (returns ebool) ---
ebool gt = FHE.gt(a, b);
ebool lt = FHE.lt(a, b);
ebool eq = FHE.eq(a, b);

// --- Conditional select (no branch leakage) ---
euint64 result = FHE.select(condition, ifTrue, ifFalse);

// --- Type casting -

# Zama Relayer SDK & Hardhat Testing

Use this skill when building frontend TypeScript apps that interact with fhEVM contracts, or when writing Hardhat tests for confidential contracts.

## Encrypt User Input

```typescript
const encrypted = await instance
  .createEncryptedInput(contractAddress, userAddress)
  .add64(transferAmount)   // match Solidity type: add8 / add16 / add32 / add64 / add128 / add256
  .encrypt();

// Pass to contract:
await contract.myFunction(encrypted.handles[0], encrypted.inputProof);
```

**Multiple values in one input:**
```typescript
const enc = await instance
  .createEncryptedInput(contractAddress, userAddress)
  .add64(amount)
  .addBool(isActive)
  .encrypt();

// enc.handles[0] → amount handle
// enc.handles[1] → isActive handle
await contract.myFunction(enc.handles[0], enc.handles[1], enc.inputProof);
```

**Type mapping (Solidity → SDK method):**
| Solidity type | SDK method |
|---|---|
| `externalEuint8` | `.add8(value)` |
| `externalEuint16` | `.add16(value)` |
| `externalEuint32` | `.add32(value)` |
| `externalEuint64` | `.add64(value)` |
| `externalEuint128` | `.add128(value)` |
| `externalEuint256` | `.add256(value)` |
| `externalEbool` | `.

# Zama TFHE-rs — Rust FHE Library

Use this skill when writing Rust programs that perform FHE computation using Zama's TFHE-rs library.

## Quick Start

```rust
use tfhe::{ConfigBuilder, generate_keys, set_server_key, FheUint32};
use tfhe::prelude::*;

fn main() {
    // 1. Generate keys
    let config = ConfigBuilder::default().build();
    let (client_key, server_key) = generate_keys(config);

    // 2. Set server key (needed for FHE ops on this thread)
    set_server_key(server_key);

    // 3. Encrypt
    let a = FheUint32::encrypt(10u32, &client_key);
    let b = FheUint32::encrypt(20u32, &client_key);

    // 4. Compute on ciphertexts — no decryption needed
    let sum = a + b;

    // 5. Decrypt result
    let result: u32 = sum.decrypt(&client_key);
    assert_eq!(result, 30);
}
```
