# Quick Start

Generate your first ZK proof in under 5 minutes.

## Prerequisites

* A Solana wallet — [Phantom](https://phantom.app) or [Solflare](https://solflare.com)
* Some SOL on devnet (for transaction fees)
* A document to attest (PDF, CSV, or JSON)

## Get Devnet SOL

You need a small amount of SOL for transaction fees (\~0.002 SOL per attestation).

Get free devnet SOL from the faucet:

```
https://faucet.solana.com
```

Enter your wallet address and request 1 SOL.

## Step 1 — Open the App

Go to [zkprovenance.app](https://zkprovenance.app)

You'll see the overview dashboard with real-time attestation data.

## Step 2 — Connect Your Wallet

Click **"Select Wallet"** in the top right corner.

Choose **Phantom** or **Solflare** and approve the connection.

Make sure your wallet is set to **Devnet** network. In Phantom: Settings → Developer Settings → Testnet Mode → ON
{% endhint %}

## Step 3 — Go to Generate Proof

Click **"Generate Proof"** in the left sidebar.

## Step 4 — Enter Your Data

**Option A — Text Input:** Type or paste any data you want to attest:

```
Patient ID: 12345
Blood Type: A+
Treatment: Routine checkup
Date: 2026-05-18
```

**Option B — File Upload:** Drag and drop a PDF, CSV, or JSON file.

{% hint style="success" %}
Your data is hashed locally — it never leaves your browser.
{% endhint %}

## Step 5 — Select Compliance Policy

Choose the framework that applies to your use case:

| Policy                 | Frameworks           | Best For                 |
| ---------------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ |
| GDPR + HIPAA           | GDPR, HIPAA          | Healthcare, EU companies |
| SOC2 + GDPR + ISO27001 | SOC2, GDPR, ISO27001 | Tech companies           |
| Full Suite             | All 5 frameworks     | Enterprise compliance    |

## Step 6 — Generate Proof

Click **"Generate Proof"** button.

The proof engine will:

1. Compute Poseidon hash (\~100ms)
2. Build Merkle tree (\~50ms)
3. Generate Groth16 proof (\~2,000ms)
4. Verify proof locally (\~10ms)

**Total time: \~2-3 seconds**

## Step 7 — Submit On-Chain

After proof generation, click **"Submit On-Chain"**.

Approve the transaction in your wallet (\~0.002 SOL fee).

You'll receive:

* ✅ Transaction signature
* ✅ Attestation PDA address
* ✅ Link to Solana Explorer

## Step 8 — View Your Attestation

Go to **"Overview"** to see your attestation in the live feed.

Click the Solana Explorer link to see the full on-chain record.

## What's Next?

* **Share your attestation** — send the Explorer link to anyone who needs to verify
* **View compliance score** — check the Compliance dashboard
* **Explore Merkle graph** — visualize your proof's cryptographic ancestry
