Add conf_whitelist module #89

Open osuketh opened 5 years ago

osuketh commented 5 years ago

Instead of storing the whitelisted accounts in on-chain, it is stored in off-chain as a Merkle tree by the specific asset maintainer. In order to ensure the validity for the lists, they need to commit the Merkle root and send zkproof to on-chain. So, the soundness is based on that of zkp. All users need to send merkle proof when they invoke the can_transfer function which returns true only if the sender is in the whitelist(i.e. merkle root corresponding to the asset Id)

The maintainer of the whitelist can update the Merkle root whenever they want. It's just the trade-off between their maintenance cost and UX.
