# Transfer verifier circuit overview

{% hint style="info" %}
The following is from the libzeropool library description. For more details, please see

This circuit is used to built a private transactions engine with the following properties: 

1. It is not possible for anyone to forge balances.
2. Any unspent note or account with an existing owner is spendable.

**The circuit proves the following conditions:**

1. Input notes are unique.
2. Output notes are unique or blank (all fields equal zero).
3. Tx is signed and the signer is the owner of input account, output account, and input notes.
4. Nullifiers correspond to notes.
5. out\_commitment is the root of Merkle subtree of output account and notes.
6. Input account and notes should be inside anonymity set (have valid merkle proofs) or blank (all fields of account excluding η are zeros, balance of note is zero).
7. All non-blank input notes correspond to the following equation\
   `tx.in.Account.i≤pos(tx.in.Note)<tx.out.Account.i`\
   where pos is the position of the note in the Merkle tree.
8. Public balance, XP changes, and the size of anonymity set should be stored at special public δ input as little endian (b:i64, e:i96, i:u32), two’s complement is used for signed types. After unpacking, negative values should be represented as corresponding field elements.
9. Sum of all balances (with negative signs for outputs) should be zero.
10. Account indexes are limited:\
    `tx.in.Account.i≤tx.out.Account.i≤δ.i`
11. The following equation for XP:\
    `δ.e+(tx.out.Account.i−tx.in.Account.i)tx.in.Account.b+∑k(tx.out.Account.i−pos(tx.in.Notek))tx.in.Notek.b+tx.in.Account.e−tx.out.Account.e=0`

{% hint style="info" %}
XP is referred to as energy in the zeropool library. While accounts accumulate XP there is no current application for accumulated XP in v1 of the protocol.&#x20;

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.zkbob.com/implementation/zksnarks-and-circuits/transaction-verifier-circuit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
