[Research Docs] Comparative Analysis of Semaphore Adaptations

[evgongora]

Objective:
Compare the adaptation challenges and design choices between Cardano’s and Stellar’s Semaphore implementations.

Focus:
Identify unique obstacles and potential synergies when transitioning from BN254 to BLS12-381.

Description:
We're looking to conduct a comparative analysis between the Semaphore implementations used by Cardano and Stellar. This research should focus on understanding the key differences, challenges, and potential areas where insights from one implementation might benefit the other.

Key Areas to Explore:
Adaptation challenges unique to each blockchain's protocol
Design choices that impact performance, security, and interoperability
Lessons learned and best practices from both implementations
Your findings will help guide future decisions on protocol adaptations. Please share your research and any recommendations in this thread.

Hello @evgongora! I´m t0fudev, a software engineering student passionate for solving complex problems through technology. I am a member of the amazing Dojo Coding community ⛩️. I've been refining my skills in frontend development and I'm actually diving into blockchain programming with Cairo, where I'm exploring how web3 can be impactful in real world proyects. I'm always looking for opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute to meaningful projects.

I feel confident in my ability to complete this task successfully. I will throughly review all requirements to ensure accurate implementation for the research documentation. If any questions come up, I wil promptly address them in the Telegram group.
