Outline:
I. Introduction
A. Briefly explain what ZKPs are and their importance in smart contracts
B. Introduce Celo and its smart contract platform

II. Prerequisites
A. Basic understanding of Celo smart contracts
B. Familiarity with Solidity programming language

III. Setting up the Development Environment
A. Install Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager)
B. Install the Celo CLI (Command Line Interface)
C. Configure the Celo development environment

IV. Creating the Celo Smart Contract
A. Define the contract structure and variables
B. Implement the ZKP-verified transaction logic
C. Define the ZKP-related functions and libraries
D. Test the contract locally using a development network

V. Generating the Proving Key and Verifying Key
A. Install the required tools for ZKP generation
B. Generate the proving key and verifying key using the Circom and Snarkjs libraries
C. Save the generated keys in the Celo smart contract project

VI. Compiling and Deploying the Smart Contract
A. Compile the Celo smart contract using the Celo CLI
B. Configure the deployment parameters (e.g., gas price, account)
C. Deploy the smart contract to a Celo development network

VII. Testing the ZKP-Verified Transaction
A. Write comprehensive test cases for the ZKP-verified transaction
B. Execute the test cases using a Celo development network
C. Verify the results and ensure the ZKP functionality works as expected
