 # @veilo/sdk-core
 
-TypeScript SDK for the Veilo Privacy Pool Anchor program.
+Build private payments and swaps on Solana with Veilo.
 
-This package provides a complete UTXO-based privacy protocol implementation on Solana with:
+The SDK gives TypeScript applications a safe, typed way to:
 
-- **UTXO Model**: Full support for unspent transaction outputs with Poseidon commitments
-- **Multi-Tree Support**: Multiple concurrent Merkle trees for improved scalability
-- **ZK Proofs**: Integration with Circom circuits for private transactions
-- **Private Swaps**: Atomic cross-pool swaps via Jupiter (native SOL + SPL tokens)
-- **Note Encryption**: NaCl-based encrypted UTXO notes and blind mailbox delivery
-- **Event Scanning**: Reconstruct Merkle trees from on-chain events
-- **Poseidon Hashing**: BN254-curve compatible hashing using circomlibjs
-- **Relayer Support**: Built-in relayer infrastructure for private withdrawals and swaps
+- shield SOL or SPL tokens into Veilo;
+- withdraw, privately transfer, or privately swap shielded funds;
+- work with Veilo's relayer without handling its encryption protocol yourself;
+- add partner-powered private sends and swaps through the Cloak API.
 
-> **Status:** Active development. The SDK supports full transaction privacy with ZK-SNARK proofs.
-> Proofs are generated off-chain and verified on-chain using Groth16.
+It works with both ESM and CommonJS and includes TypeScript declarations.
 
----
+> **Project status:** Active development. Test integrations on Devnet before using
+> them with real funds.

-### 4.4 UTXO Management
-
-```ts
-import {
-  generateKeypair,
-  keypairFromPrivateKey,
-  createUTXO,
-  createOwnedUTXO,
-  createOwnedZeroUTXO,
-  deriveNullifier,
-  type Keypair,

-
-// Generate a random UTXO keypair
-const keypair: Keypair = generateKeypair();
-// keypair = { privateKey: bigint, publicKey: bigint }
-
-// Restore from private key
-const restored = keypairFromPrivateKey(privateKeyBigInt);
-
-// Create an owned UTXO (includes private key)

-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-});
-
-// Create a zero-value UTXO (for unused inputs/outputs)
-const zeroUtxo = createOwnedZeroUTXO(pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT), keypair);
-
-// Derive nullifier for spending

-  pathIndex,
-  treeId,
-);
-```
-
-**UTXO commitment:** `Poseidon(amount, pubkey, blinding, mintAddress)`
-
-**Nullifier:** `Poseidon(privateKey, commitment, pathIndex, treeId)`
-
----
-
-### 4.5 UTXO Encryption
-
-The SDK provides NaCl-based encryption for UTXO notes (relayer storage) and blind mailbox delivery (wallet-to-wallet).
-
-```ts
-import {
-  deriveEncryptionKeypair,
-  encryptUTXONote,
-  decryptUTXONote,
-  encryptBlindMailboxNote,
-  decryptBlindMailboxNote,
-  fetchAndDecryptNotes,
-  computeSignature,
-  inputUTXOToCircuitFormat,
-  type EncryptedNote,
-  type BlindMailboxNote,
-  type BlindMailboxNoteData,
-  type DecryptedNote,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-import { Keypair as SolanaKeypair } from "@solana/web3.js";
-
-// Derive a NaCl encryption keypair from a UTXO private key
-const encKeypair = deriveEncryptionKeypair(utxoKeypair.privateKey);
-// encKeypair = { publicKey: Uint8Array[32], secretKey: Uint8Array[32] }
-
-// Encrypt a UTXO note for relay storage
-const encryptedNote: EncryptedNote = encryptUTXONote(
-  serializedUtxo, // SerializedUTXO
-  encKeypair.publicKey, // NaCl public key (Uint8Array[32])
-);
-
-// Decrypt a UTXO note
-const decrypted: SerializedUTXO | null = decryptUTXONote(
-  encryptedNote,
-  encKeypair.secretKey, // NaCl secret key (Uint8Array[32])
-);
-
-// Blind mailbox: encrypt for a Solana wallet keypair
-const recipientKeypair = SolanaKeypair.generate();
-
-const mailboxNote: BlindMailboxNote = encryptBlindMailboxNote(
-  serializedUtxo,
-  recipientKeypair.publicKey.toBytes(), // ed25519 public key → X25519 DH
-);
-
-// Recipient decrypts using their Solana secret key (64-byte)
-const mailboxDecrypted: DecryptedNote | null = decryptBlindMailboxNote(
-  mailboxNote,
-  recipientKeypair.secretKey, // 64-byte Solana secret key
-);
-
-// Compute UTXO signature (used in circuit)
-const sig = computeSignature(utxoKeypair.privateKey, utxo.commitment);
-
-// Format an InputUTXO for snarkjs circuit
-const circuitFormat = inputUTXOToCircuitFormat(inputUtxo);
-```
-
----
-
-### 4.6 Merkle Tree Operations
-
-```ts
-import { MerkleTree } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Create a new Merkle tree (default depth: 22)
-const tree = new MerkleTree();
-
-// Insert commitments
-const index = tree.insert(ownedUtxo.commitment);
-
-// Current root
-const root = tree.root();
-
-// Merkle path for proof generation
-const path = tree.path(index);
-// path = { pathElements: Uint8Array[], pathIndices: number[] }
-
-// Total leaves inserted
-const count = tree.totalLeaves;
-```
-
----
-
-### 4.7 Transaction Operations
-
-All transaction functions return `Promise<string>` (the transaction signature).
-
-#### Deposits
-
-```ts
-import { deposit, type DepositResult } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-const result: DepositResult = await deposit({
-  program,
-  depositor: depositorKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  amount: 1_000_000_000n, // 1 SOL
-  recipientPubkey: pubkeyToField(depositorKeypair.publicKey), // bigint
-  tree,
-  proofBuilder,
-  treeId: 0,
-});
-// result = { outputUTXOs, leafIndices, root }
-```
-
-#### Withdrawals
-
-```ts
-import { withdraw, type WithdrawResult } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-const result: WithdrawResult = await withdraw({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  amount: 900_000_000n, // 0.9 SOL
-  fee: 100_000_000n, // 0.1 SOL to relayer
-  inputs: [inputUtxo1, zeroInputUtxo],
-  outputs: [changeUtxo, zeroOutputUtxo],
-  recipient: recipientKeypair.publicKey,
-  tree,
-  proofBuilder,
-  treeId: 0,
-});
-```
-
-#### Private Transfers
-
-```ts
-import { privateTransfer, type TransferResult } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-const result: TransferResult = await privateTransfer({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputs: [inputUtxo1, zeroInputUtxo],
-  outputs: [recipientUtxo, changeUtxo],
-  recipient: relayerKeypair.publicKey,
-  tree,
-  proofBuilder,
-  treeId: 0,
-});
-```
-
-#### Low-Level `transact`
-
-```ts
-import { transact } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-const signature: string = await transact({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 0n,
-  inputNullifiers: [nullifier1, nullifier2],
-  outputCommitments: [output1.commitment, output2.commitment],
-  extData: { recipient, relayer: relayerPubkey, fee: 0n, refund: 0n, claimant },
-  proof,
-});
-```
-
----
-
-#### Wallet-agnostic shielding
-
-`shield()` builds an unsigned v0 deposit transaction for any Solana wallet to
-sign. The signer funds the deposit, while the resulting private note can belong
-to a different Veilo user. The SDK never receives a wallet secret key and never
-broadcasts on the caller's behalf.
+`shield()` creates an unsigned transaction. Your application asks the user's
+wallet to sign it, submits it, and then finalizes the new private note.
 
 ```ts
+import { Connection } from "@solana/web3.js";
 import {
   createTransactionProver,
+  finalizeShield,
   resolveShieldOwner,
   shield,
 } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
 
+const connection = new Connection(process.env.SOLANA_RPC_URL!, "confirmed");
+
+// `wallet` is any connected Solana wallet with `publicKey` and
+// `signTransaction` methods.
 const owner = await resolveShieldOwner({ username: "alice" });
+const prover = createTransactionProver({
+  wasmPath: "/circuits/transaction.wasm",
+  zkeyPath: "/circuits/transaction_final.zkey",
+});
+
 const result = await shield({
   connection,
-  amount: 5_000_000n,
-  mint: USDC_MINT,
+  amount: 1_000_000_000n, // 1 SOL in lamports
   owner,
   signer: { publicKey: wallet.publicKey },
-  prover: createTransactionProver({ wasmPath, zkeyPath }),
+  prover,
 });
 
 const signed = await wallet.signTransaction(result.transaction);
 const signature = await connection.sendRawTransaction(signed.serialize());
-```
-
-Use `rebuild()` if the blockhash or deadline expires, and call
-`finalizeShield()` after confirmation to obtain the authoritative Merkle leaf
-index. See [SHIELD_INTEGRATION.md](./SHIELD_INTEGRATION.md) for the complete
-build → sign → submit → finalize flow, retry rules, owner-key invariant, and
-fee/rent requirements.
-
----
 
-### 4.8 Private Swaps
-
-Cross-pool private swaps via Jupiter/Raydium. For native SOL source pools the SDK automatically composes the required `fund_native_source` + `transact_swap` instructions into a single atomic transaction.
+const confirmation = await connection.confirmTransaction(
+  {
+    signature,
+    blockhash: result.blockhash,
+    lastValidBlockHeight: result.lastValidBlockHeight,
+  },
+  "confirmed",
+);
 
-```ts
-import {
-  transactSwap,
-  getSwapExecutorPda,
-  fundNativeSource,
-  type SwapParams,
-  type SwapProofStruct,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+if (confirmation.value.err) {
+  throw new Error("Shield transaction failed");
+}
 
-// Execute a private swap (returns transaction signature)
-const signature: string = await transactSwap({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  sourceMint, // NATIVE_SOL_MINT or SPL token mint
-  destMint,
-  sourceRoot: tree.root(),
-  sourceTreeId: 0,
-  destTreeId: 0,
-  inputNullifiers: [nullifier0, nullifier1],
-  outputCommitments: [changeCommitment, destCommitment],
-  proof, // SwapProofStruct
-  swapParams: {
-    minAmountOut: 950_000_000n,
-    deadline: BigInt(Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000) + 60),
-    sourceMint,
-    destMint,
-    destAmount: 950_000_000n,
-    swapDataHash: new Uint8Array(32), // SHA-256 of DEX ix bytes, or zeros
-  },
-  swapAmount: 1_000_000_000n,
-  swapData: jupiterInstructionBytes, // Buffer
-  extData: { recipient, relayer: relayerPubkey, fee, refund: 0n, claimant },
-  sourceVaultTokenAccount,
-  sourceMintAccount,
-  destVaultTokenAccount,
-  destMintAccount,
-  relayerTokenAccount,
-  swapProgram: JUPITER_PROGRAM_ID,
-  jupiterEventAuthority,
+const finalized = await finalizeShield({
+  connection,
+  signature,
+  note: result.note,
+  owner,
 });
 
-// Build the fund_native_source instruction standalone (advanced)
-const fundIx = await fundNativeSource({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  sourceMint: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  destMint,
-  inputNullifier0: nullifier0,
-  swapAmount: 1_000_000_000n,
-});
-// Returns TransactionInstruction — must be first ix in same tx as transact_swap
+console.log("Private note created at leaf", finalized.leafIndex);
 ```
 
-> **Note:** `transactSwap` handles the atomicity requirement automatically. Only use `fundNativeSource` directly if you are building transactions manually.
-
----
-
-### 4.9 Event Scanning & Tree Reconstruction
+To shield an SPL token, pass its mint:
 
 ```ts
-import {
-  scanCommitmentEvents,
-  scanNullifierEvents,
-  buildTreeFromEvents,
-  type CommitmentEvent,
-  type NullifierSpentEvent,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Scan all commitment events for a mint (paginated by signature)
-const { events, latestSignature } = await scanCommitmentEvents({
-  program,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  treeId: 0,
-  beforeSignature: undefined, // or last known signature for pagination
-  limit: 1000,
-});
-// events: CommitmentEvent[]
-// CommitmentEvent = { commitment, leafIndex, newRoot, timestamp, mintAddress, treeId }
-
-// Scan spent nullifier events
-const { events: nullEvents } = await scanNullifierEvents({
-  program,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  beforeSignature: undefined,
-  limit: 1000,
-});
-// NullifierSpentEvent = { nullifier, mintAddress, treeId }
-
-// Reconstruct a Merkle tree from on-chain events
-const {
-  tree,
-  events: allEvents,
-  latestSignature: sig,
-} = await buildTreeFromEvents({
-  program,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  treeId: 0,
+const result = await shield({
+  connection,
+  mint: usdcMint,
+  amount: 5_000_000n, // 5 USDC when the mint has 6 decimals
+  owner,
+  signer: { publicKey: wallet.publicKey },
+  prover,
 });
 ```
 
----
+Keep `result.note` private. It contains the information needed to recover the
+shielded funds. `finalizeShield()` gives you the authoritative leaf index after
+the transaction lands.
 
-### 4.10 Proof Generation
+If the blockhash expires before submission, reuse the proof with `rebuild()`:
 
 ```ts
-import {
-  prepareTransactionInputs,
-  formatInputsForSnarkjs,
-  computeExtDataHash,
-  encodeSnarkjsProofToTransactionProof,
-  packProofToBytes,
-  computeSwapParamsHash,
-  computeSwapDataHash,
-  type ExtData,
-  type TransactionCircuitInputs,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Prepare inputs for the transaction circuit
-const circuitInputs: TransactionCircuitInputs = prepareTransactionInputs({
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 1_000_000_000n,
-  extData: { recipient, relayer: relayerPubkey, fee: 0n, refund: 0n, claimant },
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputs: [input1, input2],
-  outputs: [output1, output2],
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-});
+import { rebuild } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
 
-// Format for snarkjs (converts bigints / Uint8Arrays to strings)
-const snarkjsInputs = formatInputsForSnarkjs(circuitInputs);
-
-// After proof generation:
-// const { proof } = await snarkjs.groth16.fullProve(snarkjsInputs, wasmPath, zkeyPath);
-// const transactionProof = encodeSnarkjsProofToTransactionProof(proof);
-
-// Compute ext data hash (matches on-chain computation)
-const extDataHash = computeExtDataHash({
-  recipient,
-  relayer,
-  fee: 0n,
-  refund: 0n,
-  claimant,
-});
-
-// Compute swap param/data hashes (for swap circuit inputs)
-const swapParamsHash = computeSwapParamsHash(swapParams);
-const swapDataHash = computeSwapDataHash(jupiterInstructionBytes);
+const refreshed = await rebuild(result, { connection });
 ```
 
----
+A stale Merkle root needs a new call to `shield()` because it requires a new
+proof.
 
-### 4.11 Fee Utilities
+## Cloak Partner API
 
-```ts
-import {
-  computeWithdrawalFee,
-  computeSwapFee,
-  DEFAULT_FEE_BPS,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core/config";
+Cloak is the simplest route for partner applications that want a private send
+or cross-asset private swap. The SDK handles request types, API authentication,
+transaction decoding, polling, and structured errors. It never signs for the
+user.
 
-// Compute protocol fee for a withdrawal
-const fee = computeWithdrawalFee(amount, feeBps, minWithdrawalFee);
+Keep your Cloak API key on a trusted server. Do not include it in a browser or
+mobile bundle.
 
-// Compute protocol fee for a swap
-const swapFee = computeSwapFee(swapAmount, feeBps);
-```
-

-
-### 4.12 Relayer & Admin Management
+### Create an order on your server
 
 ```ts
-import { addRelayer, setPaused } from "@veilo/sdk-core";

-  // Returns a human-readable error string from Anchor/program errors

 ```
 
----
-
-## 5. Architecture
+For a cross-asset swap, use a different `destinationAssetId` and optionally add
+`slippageBps` to the quote request. Use `listTokens()` to discover supported
+asset IDs and their current limits.
 
-### Transaction Model
-
-Veilo uses a UTXO privacy model inspired by Zcash and Tornado Cash Nova:
-
-- **Inputs**: 2 UTXOs (zero-value for deposits)
-- **Outputs**: 2 UTXOs (zero-value for withdrawals)
-- **Public Amount**: net pool change — positive = deposit, negative = withdrawal, zero = private transfer or swap
-
-Each transaction consumes 2 input UTXOs (Merkle proofs), creates 2 output UTXOs (commitments inserted to tree), and generates 2 nullifiers to prevent double-spend.
-
-### Swap Architecture
-
-Private swaps require two instructions in a **single atomic transaction**:
-
-1. `fund_native_source` — pre-funds the swap executor with SOL from the vault (native SOL pools only)
-2. `transact_swap` — verifies the ZK proof, spends input UTXOs, creates output UTXOs, and executes the DEX swap
-
-`transactSwap()` handles this automatically. The on-chain program validates atomicity via the instructions sysvar.
-
-### Privacy Guarantees
-
-- **Commitment hiding**: amount, owner, blinding are hidden via Poseidon
-- **Nullifier uniqueness**: each UTXO can only be spent once
-- **Unlinkability**: no public link between inputs and outputs
-- **ZK proofs**: Groth16 verified on-chain
-
-### Constants
+You can override the API address for another environment. Both the origin and
+the full Cloak path are accepted:
 
 ```ts
-import {
-  NATIVE_SOL_MINT, // PublicKey.default — native SOL pools
-  MERKLE_TREE_DEPTH, // 22
-  ROOT_HISTORY_SIZE, // 256
-  DEFAULT_FEE_BPS, // 50 (0.5%)

-### 4.2 Pool Initialization
+Send the signature back to your server. The deposit notification is optional,
+but it can reduce processing latency:

+If an unfunded order's transaction expires, call
+`refreshTransaction(order.trackingId)` and ask the user to sign the refreshed
+transaction.
 
-### 4.3 UTXO Management
+## Full private wallet flows
 
-The SDK uses a UTXO (Unspent Transaction Output) model with Poseidon commitments:
+The SDK supports all Veilo privacy-pool operations. Pick the highest-level API
+that fits your application:
 
-```ts
-import {
-  generateKeypair,
-  keypairFromPrivateKey,
-  createUTXO,
-  createOwnedUTXO,
-  createOwnedZeroUTXO,
-  deriveNullifier,
-  type Keypair,
-  type UTXO,
-  type SerializedUTXO,
-  type InputUTXO,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-import { NATIVE_SOL_MINT } from "@veilo/sdk-core/config";
-import { pubkeyToField } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+| Operation | Managed relayer call | Direct SDK helper |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Deposit | Not required | `shield()` or `deposit()` |
+| Withdraw | `submitWithdraw()` | `withdraw()` |
+| Private transfer | `submitPrivateTransfer()` | `privateTransfer()` |
+| Private swap | `submitPrivateSwap()` | `buildPrivateSwapInstructions()` or `transactSwap()` |
 
-// Generate a random keypair
-const keypair: Keypair = generateKeypair();
-// keypair = { privateKey: bigint, publicKey: bigint }
+### Use the relayer client
 
-// Restore keypair from private key
-const restored = keypairFromPrivateKey(privateKeyBigInt);
-
-// Create an owned UTXO (includes private key)
-const ownedUtxo: SerializedUTXO = createOwnedUTXO({
-  amount: 1_000_000_000n,
-  privateKey: keypair.privateKey,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-});
-
-// Create a zero UTXO (for unused inputs/outputs)
-const zeroUtxo = createOwnedZeroUTXO(pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT), keypair);
-
-// Derive nullifier for spending
-const nullifier = deriveNullifier(
-  ownedUtxo.privateKey,
-  ownedUtxo.commitment,
-  0, // pathIndex in Merkle tree
-  0, // treeId
-);
-```
-
-**UTXO commitment formula:**
-
-```
-commitment = Poseidon(amount, pubkey, blinding, mintAddress)
-```
-
-**Nullifier formula:**
-
-```
-nullifier = Poseidon(privateKey, commitment, pathIndex, treeId)
-```
-
----
-
-### 4.4 Merkle Tree Operations
-
-```ts
-import { MerkleTree } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Create a new Merkle tree (default depth: 20)
-const tree = new MerkleTree();
-
-// Insert commitments
-const index1 = tree.insert(ownedUtxo1.commitment);
-const index2 = tree.insert(ownedUtxo2.commitment);
-
-// Get current root
-const root = tree.root();
-
-// Get Merkle path for proof generation
-const path = tree.path(index1);
-// path = { pathElements: Uint8Array[], pathIndices: number[] }
-
-// Get number of leaves
-const numLeaves = tree.totalLeaves;
-
-// Custom tree depth
-const deepTree = new MerkleTree(25); // 25 levels
-```
-
-The Merkle tree uses Poseidon hash for all internal nodes.
-
----
-
-### 4.5 Transaction Operations
-
-The SDK supports three types of transactions:
-
-#### Deposits (publicAmount > 0)
+`VeiloRelayerClient` encrypts private transaction requests before sending them
+to the relayer. The request and response types are exported for TypeScript
+autocomplete.
 
 ```ts
-import { deposit } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Create output UTXO
-const outputUtxo = createOwnedUTXO({
-  amount: 1_000_000_000n, // 1 SOL
-  mintAddress: pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT),
-  keypair: utxoKeypair,
-});
-
-// Zero inputs for deposit
-const input1 = createOwnedZeroUTXO(pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT), utxoKeypair);
-const input2 = createOwnedZeroUTXO(pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT), utxoKeypair);
-const output2 = createOwnedZeroUTXO(
-  pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT),
-  utxoKeypair,
-);
+import {
+  VeiloRelayerClient,
+  type WithdrawRequest,
+} from "@veilo/sdk-core/relayer";
 
-await deposit({
-  program,
-  depositor: depositorKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 1_000_000_000n, // Positive = deposit
-  inputs: [input1, input2],
-  outputs: [outputUtxo, output2],
-  recipient: depositorKeypair.publicKey,
-  fee: 0n,
-  refund: 0n,
-  proof: mockProof,
+const relayer = new VeiloRelayerClient({
+  apiKey: process.env.VEILO_RELAYER_KEY!,
+  relayerPublicKey: process.env.VEILO_RELAYER_PUBLIC_KEY!,
+  authToken: process.env.VEILO_AUTH_TOKEN,
 });
 
-// Insert outputs into tree
-tree.insert(outputUtxo.commitment);
-tree.insert(output2.commitment);
+async function submitWithdrawal(request: WithdrawRequest) {
+  return relayer.submitWithdraw(request);
+}
 ```
 
-#### Withdrawals (publicAmount < 0)
+The same client also provides account authentication, encrypted note storage,
+Merkle tree reads, private transfers, and private swaps.
 
-```ts
-import { withdraw } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-
-// Prepare input with Merkle path
-const input1: InputUTXO = {
-  ...ownedUtxo1,
-  pathIndex: 0,
-  pathElements: tree.path(0).pathElements,
-};
-
-const zeroInput2: InputUTXO = {
-  ...createOwnedZeroUTXO(pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT), utxoKeypair),
-  pathIndex: 0,
-  pathElements: tree.path(0).pathElements,
-};
-
-// Zero outputs
-const output1 = createOwnedZeroUTXO(
-  pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT),
-  utxoKeypair,
-);
-const output2 = createOwnedZeroUTXO(
-  pubkeyToField(NATIVE_SOL_MINT),
-  utxoKeypair,
-);
+### Use the direct helpers
 
-await withdraw({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: -900_000_000n, // Negative = withdrawal (0.9 SOL)
-  inputs: [input1, zeroInput2],
-  outputs: [output1, output2],
-  recipient: recipientKeypair.publicKey,
-  fee: 100_000_000n, // 0.1 SOL to relayer
-  refund: 0n,
-  proof,
-});
-```
-
-#### Private Transfers (publicAmount = 0)
+Direct helpers are intended for applications that already maintain Veilo note
+and Merkle tree state and can generate proofs.
 
 ```ts
 import {
-  privateTransfer,
-  generateKeypair,
-  createOwnedUTXO,
+  NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
+  createTransactionProver,
+  createVeiloProgram,
+  deposit,
 } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
 
-// Create new outputs for recipient
-const recipientKeypair = generateKeypair();
-const output1 = createOwnedUTXO({
-  amount: 1_000_000_000n,
-  privateKey: recipientKeypair.privateKey,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
+const program = createVeiloProgram(connection, anchorWallet);
+const proofBuilder = createTransactionProver({
+  wasmPath: "/circuits/transaction.wasm",
+  zkeyPath: "/circuits/transaction_final.zkey",
 });
 
-await privateTransfer({
+const built = await deposit({
   program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
+  depositor: { publicKey: wallet.publicKey },
   mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 0n, // Zero = private transfer
-  inputs: [input1, zeroInput2],
-  outputs: [output1, output2],
-  recipient: relayerKeypair.publicKey,
-  fee: 0n,
-  refund: 0n,
-  proof,
+  amount: 1_000_000_000n,
+  recipientPubkey: veiloOwnerPublicKey,
+  noteRecipientWallet: wallet.publicKey,
+  tree,
+  proofBuilder,
+  treeId: 0,
 });
 
-// Insert new outputs
-tree.insert(output1.commitment);
-tree.insert(output2.commitment);
+const signed = await wallet.signTransaction(built.transaction);
+const signature = await connection.sendRawTransaction(signed.serialize());
+await connection.confirmTransaction(signature, "confirmed");
+
+// Update the local tree only after on-chain confirmation.
+const receipt = built.commit();
 ```
 
-#### Low-Level Transaction Function
+`withdraw()` and `privateTransfer()` accept two spendable input notes, build the
+proof, submit through the supplied relayer signer, and return the resulting
+change or output notes. Important rules are enforced by the SDK:
 
-For advanced use cases, use the unified `transact` function directly:
+- withdrawal amounts must be positive and fit within the selected notes;
+- private-transfer outputs must equal the total input amount;
+- direct private transfers use a zero public fee;
+- note-recipient wallet keys should be supplied so new notes remain recoverable.
 
-```ts
-import { transact } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+Private swaps normally use Jupiter versioned transactions and address lookup
+tables. Use `buildPrivateSwapInstructions()` to add Veilo's atomic instructions
+to the exact Jupiter route. Preserve Jupiter's account order and duplicate
+accounts. `transactSwap()` is available when a legacy transaction is sufficient.
 
-await transact({
-  program,
-  relayer: relayerKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 0n,
-  inputNullifiers: [nullifier1, nullifier2],
-  outputCommitments: [output1.commitment, output2.commitment],
-  extData: {
-    recipient: recipientPubkey,
-    relayer: relayerPubkey,
-    fee: 0n,
-    refund: 0n,
-    claimant: claimantPubkey,
-  },
-  proof,
-});
-```
+The low-level `transact()` and `buildRawTransactInstruction()` exports are for
+custom transaction composition. Most applications should use the helpers above.
 
----
+## Important concepts
 
-### 4.6 Proof Generation
+### Amounts use base units
 
-The SDK provides utilities for preparing circuit inputs:
+Amounts are `bigint` values or decimal strings in the token's smallest unit:
 
 ```ts
-import {
-  prepareTransactionInputs,
-  formatInputsForSnarkjs,
-  computeExtDataHash,
-  encodeSnarkjsProofToTransactionProof,
-  packProofToBytes,
-  type ExtData,
-  type TransactionCircuitInputs,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+import { sol } from "@veilo/sdk-core/config";
 
-// Prepare inputs for the circuit
-const circuitInputs: TransactionCircuitInputs = prepareTransactionInputs({
-  root: tree.root(),
-  publicAmount: 1_000_000_000n,
-  extData: {
-    recipient: recipientPubkey,
-    relayer: relayerPubkey,
-    fee: 0n,
-    refund: 0n,
-    claimant: claimantPubkey,
-  },
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  inputs: [input1, input2],
-  outputs: [output1, output2],
-  inputTreeId: 0,
-  outputTreeId: 0,
-});
+const oneSol = sol(1);       // 1_000_000_000n lamports
+const fiveUsdc = 5_000_000n; // 5 USDC for a 6-decimal mint
+```
 
-// Format for snarkjs (converts Uint8Array to string representations)
-const snarkjsInputs = formatInputsForSnarkjs(circuitInputs);
+Avoid JavaScript floating-point values for token arithmetic.
 
-// Use with snarkjs to generate proof
-// const { proof, publicSignals } = await snarkjs.groth16.fullProve(
-//   snarkjsInputs,
-//   wasmPath,
-//   zkeyPath
-// );
+### A private note is valuable secret data
 
-// Convert snarkjs proof to on-chain format
-// const transactionProof = encodeSnarkjsProofToTransactionProof(proof);
-```
+A note contains the information needed to locate and spend private funds. Store
+it encrypted, never log it, and never send its unencrypted contents to an
+analytics or application server.
 
----
+For shielding, prefer `resolveShieldOwner()`. It obtains the spending and note
+viewing keys as a matched pair. Supplying unrelated keys can create a note that
+the recipient cannot discover.
 
-### 4.7 Relayer Management
+### Confirmation comes before local state updates
 
-```ts
-import { addRelayer, setPaused } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+Do not mark notes as spent, insert commitments into a local tree, or persist a
+predicted leaf index until the transaction is confirmed. Use `finalizeShield()`
+for shields and call a deposit's `commit()` callback only after confirmation.
 
-// Add a relayer
-await addRelayer({
-  program,
-  admin: adminKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  newRelayer: relayerPubkey,
-});
+### Proof files are separate
 
-// Pause/unpause the pool
-await setPaused({
-  program,
-  admin: adminKeypair,
-  mintAddress: NATIVE_SOL_MINT,
-  paused: true,
-});
-```
+Circuit `.wasm` and `.zkey` files are intentionally not bundled with the npm
+package because they are large. Provide local paths, byte arrays, or hosted URLs
+to `createTransactionProver()` and `createSwapProver()`.
 
----
+## Error handling
 
-### 4.8 Poseidon Utilities
+Shield and Cloak errors include stable fields that applications can use to show
+useful recovery actions.
 
 ```ts
 import {
-  initPoseidon,
-  poseidon1,
-  poseidon2,
-  poseidon3,
-  poseidon4,
-  pubkeyToField,
+  CloakApiError,

-// Initialize Poseidon (required once before using hash functions)
-await initPoseidon();
-
-// Hash functions
-const hash1 = poseidon1(12345n);

-## 5. Architecture
-
-### Transaction Model
+When handling Cloak separately, `CloakApiError` also exposes actionable values
+such as `min`, `max`, `field`, `maxBps`, and `retryAfter` when the API returns
+them.
 
-Veilo uses a UTXO-based privacy model inspired by Zcash and Tornado Cash Nova:
+## Package entry points
 
-1. **Inputs**: 2 UTXOs (can be zero for deposits)
-2. **Outputs**: 2 UTXOs (can be zero for withdrawals)
-3. **Public Amount**: Net change (positive = deposit, negative = withdrawal, zero = private transfer)
-
-Each transaction:
-
-- Consumes 2 input UTXOs (proven via Merkle paths)
-- Creates 2 output UTXOs (commitments added to tree)
-- Generates 2 nullifiers (prevents double-spending)
-- Optionally transfers funds in/out of the pool
-
-### Privacy Guarantees
-
-- **Commitment hiding**: Amount, owner, and blinding factor are hidden via Poseidon hash
-- **Nullifier uniqueness**: Each UTXO can only be spent once
-- **Unlinkability**: No public link between inputs and outputs
-- **Zero-knowledge proofs**: Transactions proven valid without revealing private data
-
-### Multi-Tree Support
-
-The protocol supports multiple concurrent Merkle trees per pool:
-
-- Improves scalability by reducing tree depth
-- Allows parallel insertions
-- Each tree has independent state
-
-### Constants
+Import from the package root for convenience or use a focused entry point:
 
 ```ts
-import {
-  NATIVE_SOL_MINT, // PublicKey.default (all zeros) for native SOL
-  MERKLE_TREE_DEPTH, // 22 levels
-  ROOT_HISTORY_SIZE, // 256 historical roots
-  DEFAULT_FEE_BPS, // 50 (0.5%)
-  sol, // Helper: sol(1) = 1_000_000_000n lamports

-import { BN254_FR_MODULUS } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+import { shield } from "@veilo/sdk-core";
+import { getPoolPdas } from "@veilo/sdk-core/accounts";
+import { createUTXO } from "@veilo/sdk-core/notes";
+import { deposit, withdraw } from "@veilo/sdk-core/transactions";

-### Type Exports
+Available focused entry points:
 
-The SDK exports the following types for TypeScript users:
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/accounts`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/cloak`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/config`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/notes`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/poseidon`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/proof`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/prover`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/relayer`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/shield`
+- `@veilo/sdk-core/transactions`
 
-```ts
-import type {
-  // UTXO types
-  Keypair,
-  UTXO,
-  SerializedUTXO,
-  InputUTXO,
-
-  // Proof types
-  ExtData,
-  TransactionCircuitInputs,
-  TransactionProofStruct,
-  RawProof,
-  TransactionProofBuilder,
-
-  // Merkle types
-  MerklePath,
-  CircuitMerklePath,
-
-  // Config types
-  PoolInitConfig,
-  PrivacyConfigAccount,
-  GlobalConfigAccount,
-} from "@veilo/sdk-core";
-```
-
-### SPL Token Support
+## Advanced building blocks
 
-The SDK supports both native SOL and SPL tokens:
+The root package also exports tools for teams building their own Veilo wallet
+or relayer:
 
-```ts
-import { PublicKey } from "@solana/web3.js";
+- account and PDA queries;
+- UTXO creation, ownership, encryption, and recovery;
+- Merkle tree reconstruction from on-chain events;
+- transaction and swap witness preparation;
+- Poseidon hashing helpers;
+- pool initialization and administration;
+- raw IDL-correct transaction instruction builders.
 
-// For native SOL
-const solMint = NATIVE_SOL_MINT; // PublicKey.default
+These APIs are fully typed. Use their TypeScript definitions as the source of
+truth for required inputs.
 
-// For SPL tokens
-const usdcMint = new PublicKey("EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v");
-
-// Initialize pool for SPL token
-await initializePool({
-  program,
-  payer: adminKeypair,
-  admin: adminKeypair,
-  mintAddress: usdcMint, // Use SPL token mint
-  minDepositAmount: 1_000_000n, // 1 USDC (6 decimals)
-  // ... other params
-});
-```
-
-When using SPL tokens, the SDK automatically handles associated token accounts.

-## 7. Limitations
+# Run deterministic unit and proof tests
+npm test
 
-- **Off-chain tree management**: Merkle trees must be maintained by relayers/clients
-- **Proof generation not included**: You must integrate your own circuit/prover
-- **Development status**: Active development, APIs may change
+# Run opt-in live Devnet integration tests
+npm run test:integration
