geth integration

This document is a guide listing detailed steps to integrate fhevm-backend into go-ethereum or any other implementations that follow the same architecture. We use geth and go-ethereum interchangeably from now on.

This document is based on go-ethereum v1.14.3

The Go library that we integrate into geth is fhevm-go-coproc.

We also have changes to geth itself here go-ethereum.

To start a local geth coprocessor full node, please have a look at: https://github.com/zama-ai/go-ethereum-coprocessor/blob/master/Dockerfile.devnode

To execute the actual FHE computation, a Coprocessor Backend is needed.

This document is still work in progress. Above repositories serve as reference for now.
