1. True Privacy Without Trust
   Unlike mixing services or centralized privacy solutions, DarkMint provides mathematically guaranteed privacy through zero-knowledge proofs. No trusted third parties, no mixing pools that can be analyzed - just pure cryptographic privacy.
2. Ethereum Native Integration
   DarkMint doesn't require a separate blockchain or token. It works directly with ETH on Ethereum, using the existing infrastructure while adding a privacy layer that's completely transparent to the network.
3. Novel MPT Verification Architecture
   The project implements a Modified Merkle Patricia Trie (MPT) verification system that's the first of its kind, enabling efficient proof of Ethereum state without revealing sensitive information.

Circuit 1: MPT-Middle Circuit (merkle_proof.rs)
This circuit handles intermediate layer verification in the Merkle Patricia Trie.
Key Innovation: Conditional commitment generation based on layer position
Security Property: Ensures keccak(layer_i) ⊆ layer_{i-1} for all intermediate layers.

Circuit 2: MPT-Last Circuit (account_verification.rs)
This circuit handles the final account layer verification
Key Operations: RLP encoding, address derivation, nullifier generation
Security Properties: Account existence proof + double-spend prevention
