+# Privacy Protocol
+
+This directory contains the implementation of a zero-knowledge proof smart contract and a Python service for managing privacy features.
+
+## Directory Structure
+
+- `zk_proofs.sol`: Smart contract for creating and verifying zero-knowledge proofs.
+- `privacy_service.py`: Python script for interacting with the zero-knowledge proof smart contract.
+- `README.md`: Documentation for thePrivacy protocol.
+
+## Zero-Knowledge Proofs (`zk_proofs.sol`)
+
+The ZKProofs contract allows users to create and verify zero-knowledge proofs. It stores proof commitments and associated data securely on the blockchain.
+
+### Functions
+
+- `createProof(bytes32 _proofId, bytes32 _commitment, bytes32 _proofData)`: Allows the owner to create a new zero-knowledge proof.
+- `verifyProof(bytes32 _proofId)`: Verifies the existence and validity of a zero-knowledge proof.
+- `getProofDetails(bytes32 _proofId)`: Retrieves details of a specific proof.
+
+### Events
+
+- `ProofCreated(bytes32 indexed proofId, bytes32 commitment, address indexed verifier)`: Emitted when a new proof is created.
+- `ProofVerified(bytes32 indexed proofId, bool isValid)`: Emitted when a proof is verified.
+
+## Privacy Service (`privacy_service.py`)
+
+The Privacy Service is a Flask application that interacts with the ZKProofs smart contract. It provides endpoints for creating and retrieving zero-knowledge proofs.
+
+### Endpoints
+
+- `POST /create_proof`: Creates a new zero-knowledge proof. Expects a JSON body with `proofId`, `commitment`, and `proofData`.
+- `GET /get_proof/<proof_id>`: Retrieves details of a specific proof by its ID.
+
+### Requirements
+
+- Python 3.x
+- Flask
+- Web3.py
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Install the required packages:
+   ```bash
+   pip install Flask web3
+   ```
+
+2. Update the Ethereum node URL and contract address in the privacy_service.py file.
+
+3. Run the service:
+   ```bash
+   1 python privacy_service.py
+   ```
