WinnerPrice - FHE Auction App 🏆

A Zama FHE project - production-ready privacy-preserving auction application powered by Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHEVM) using Zama's official Relayer SDK.

Note: This project demonstrates real-world FHE implementation using the Zama FHEVM ecosystem. It's built following patterns from dharmanan/fhevm-react-template and deployed live on Vercel for public testing.

🌐 Live Demo: https://winnerprice.vercel.app
📖 Documentation: DEVELOPMENT_SUMMARY.md | README_LATEST.md

✨ What is WinnerPrice?

A privacy-preserving auction where:

✅ All bids are encrypted with FHEVM - mathematically secure, never decrypted until reveal
✅ Secret target price is never revealed during bidding
✅ Winner is determined by closest bid to the secret price
✅ MetaMask wallet integration for transaction signing
✅ Real WASM-based encryption on client-side
✅ Multi-bid auction (1 manual + 9 simulated bids)

Example Flow

1. User joins auction (pays entry fee, requires MetaMask signature)
2. User enters bid amount (stays private, encrypted with FHEVM)
3. System simulates 9 additional participant bids (all encrypted)
4. Auction ends automatically
5. Click "Reveal Winner" to see winner without ever decrypting bids

⚠️ Important: Architecture & Scope

What This Project IS ✅

Production-ready working example of FHE-based auction logic
Real client-side FHEVM encryption using Zama Relayer SDK (v0.2.0)
Functional concept implementation showing FHE auction workflow
Ready for testing & demonstration on Sepolia testnet
Foundation for future on-chain reveal implementation

What This Project IS NOT ❌

Full on-chain FHE computation - Winner reveal is client-side (local computation)
Mainnet-ready - Currently deployed on Sepolia testnet only
Complete FHE solution - Demonstrates encryption flow, not full FHE operations on-chain
Production auction system - Proof of concept for educational/demonstration purposes

Future: Zama v0.9 & Beyond 🚀

This implementation is designed to be upgraded when Zama releases:

FHEVM v0.9 - On-chain FHE key generation & computation
Relayer SDK v0.3.0+ - Enhanced on-chain reveal capabilities
Full homomorphic computation - Direct FHE operations on blockchain

Upgrade path ready: The current architecture supports migration to full on-chain FHE without major refactoring.

⚡ Quick Start

# Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/dharmanan/winnerprice
cd winnerprice

🎯 Choose Your Framework

The FHEVM SDK is completely framework-agnostic - the core encryption logic has zero dependencies. Pick your JavaScript environment and start encrypting in minutes:

Framework	Type	Setup	Best For	Status	Start
React + Next.js	Frontend	2 min	Modern web apps with routing	✅ Production	nextjs-app
Vue 3	Frontend	2 min	Composition API, SFC support	✅ Production	vue-example
Node.js	Backend	1 min	CLI, batch processing, CI/CD	✅ Production	node-example
Vanilla JS	Frontend	0 min	No build, GitHub Pages, instant	✅ Production	vanilla-js-example

All examples are identical functionally - they share the same:

✅ Real FHEVM encryption (Relayer SDK v0.2.0)
✅ TypeScript support (strict mode ready)
✅ Error handling & logging
✅ Copy-paste ready, production code

🧪 Usage

Connect Wallet

Click "Connect Wallet" → Approve MetaMask popup

Select Product & Join

Select a product → Click "Join Auction" → Confirm MetaMask signature

Place Encrypted Bid

Enter bid amount ($1,000-$50,000) → Click "Submit My Encrypted Bid"
Bid encrypted with FHEVM → MetaMask signature required

Reveal Winner

Click "Reveal Winner" → Winner calculated from closest bid
No bids ever decrypted - winner determined locally

🔐 What is FHEVM?

Fully Homomorphic Encryption Virtual Machine (FHEVM) enables computation on encrypted data without decryption. Imagine an auction where bids are encrypted end-to-end - the contract determines a winner without ever seeing the bid amounts. That's FHEVM.

This SDK demonstrates production-grade FHEVM integration across all JavaScript environments.

💡 How It Works

1. Core SDK (Zero Dependencies)

// Works ANYWHERE - browser, Node.js, Deno, even edge functions!
import { encryptBid } from 'fhevm-sdk/core';

const encrypted = await encryptBid(bidAmount, contractAddress);
// Returns: { handles: Uint8Array[], inputProof: Uint8Array }

2. Framework-Specific Hooks (Optional)

// React? Use the hook:
import { useEncryptBid } from 'fhevm-sdk/react';
const { encryptBid, isLoading } = useEncryptBid();

// Vue? Same SDK, different wrapper
// Node.js? Same SDK, no wrapper needed
// Vanilla JS? Same SDK, native await

3. Real FHEVM Encryption

Uses official Relayer SDK v0.2.0 from Zama
Encrypted on client-side (frontend)
Submitted via contract (backend)
Never exposed in plaintext

🧬 Origin & Framework

This project is inspired by & built upon:

🎯 dharmanan/fhevm-react-template - Production FHEVM SDK architecture
📚 Zama FHEVM Documentation - Core encryption concepts
🔒 Zama Relayer SDK v0.2.0 - Official FHE encryption library

Developed for: Zama FHE community & education
License: MIT (open source, production-ready)

📖 Using the SDK

For React/Vue Developers

See DEVELOPMENT_SUMMARY.md
Pick your framework
Copy the integration code from your example app
Done! ✅

For Backend/Node.js Developers

See node-example/README.md
Import encryptBid from core
Integrate into your pipeline
No framework overhead! ✅

For Advanced Users

Read packages/fhevm-sdk/ARCHITECTURE.md
Review packages/fhevm-sdk/API_REFERENCE.md
Check examples/nextjs-app/ for real code
Implement your own wrapper! ✅

🧪 Testing the Examples

Each example includes a multi-bid auction (1 manual + 9 simulated) that demonstrates real encryption:

# React - interactive UI with live simulation
cd examples/nextjs-app && pnpm install && pnpm dev

# Vue - same auction, different framework
cd examples/vue-example && pnpm install && pnpm dev

# Node.js - encrypt multiple bids programmatically
cd examples/node-example && pnpm install && node src/index.ts

# Vanilla JS - open in browser immediately
cd examples/vanilla-js-example && open index.html

All examples produce encrypted bids ready for contract submission. ✅

🔧 Common Tasks

Install Dependencies

cd winnerprice
pnpm install  # Installs all monorepo packages

Run Specific Example

cd examples/nextjs-app
pnpm dev --port 3000

Build for Production

cd examples/nextjs-app
pnpm build
pnpm start

TypeScript Compilation Check

pnpm tsc --noEmit  # Verify no errors

🔐 Security

Client-side encryption: WASM-based real FHE, not mock
Zero-knowledge: Server never sees plaintext bids
Zama Relayer: Handles encryption key management
MetaMask signing: Required for all state changes
Testnet only: Current deployment on Sepolia (demo/testing)

🌐 Deployment

Vercel (Current - Live)

# Auto-deploy on push to main
# Manual redeploy: Vercel Dashboard → Redeploy button

Environment Variables (Production)

VITE_RELAYER_ENDPOINT=https://relayer.testnet.zama.cloud
VITE_AUCTION_CONTRACT=0xb6E160B1ff80D67Bfe90A85eE06Ce0A2613607D1

⚠️ Known Limitations

Testnet Only - Currently on Sepolia testnet (demo purposes)
Browser Support - Requires WebAssembly support (all modern browsers)
Gas Costs - Each encryption & transaction costs testnet gas
Single Session - One product per session (refresh to change)
Manual Reveal - Winner reveal not automated (requires button click)

📊 Performance

Build:       291 modules, 3.25 seconds
Bundle Size: 216 KB (gzipped: 67 KB) main
             292 KB (gzipped: 96 KB) vendor
Encryption:  ~2-3 seconds per bid (WASM FHE)
Deploy:      2-3 minutes to Vercel
