A future upgrade +to Groth16 (e.g. via a Circom circuit compiled with `snarkjs`) is forward-compatible: +replace the `_fiat_shamir_proof` internals in `integrations/zk_attestor.py` while +keeping the `BenfordZKProof` dataclass and `verify_benford_proof` API unchanged. + +### Merkle Commitment + +Trade amounts up to N=1000 are committed via a binary Merkle tree of SHA-256 +leaf hashes.
