Try Aligned

In this tutorial, you will learn how to send your first SP1 proofs to get verified in Aligned in under 3 minutes.

This tutorial is for sending proofs on Holesky network. To send proofs on Mainnet, please refer to the submitting proofs guide.

Quickstart

We will download a previously generated SP1 proof, send it to Aligned for verification, and retrieve the results from Ethereum Holesky testnet.

  1. Download and install Aligned to send proofs in the testnet:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/testnet/crates/cli/install_aligned.sh | bash

  1. Run the source command that should appear in the shell

  2. Download the example SP1 proof file together with the ELF file of the proved program using:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yetanotherco/aligned_layer/testnet/crates/cli/get_proof_test_files.sh | bash

  1. Send the proof to be verified in Aligned with

rm -rf ~/.aligned/aligned_verification_data/ &&
aligned submit \
--proving_system SP1 \
--proof ~/.aligned/test_files/sp1_fibonacci_5_0_0.proof \
--vm_program ~/.aligned/test_files/sp1_fibonacci_5_0_0.elf \
--aligned_verification_data_path ~/.aligned/aligned_verification_data \
--network holesky \
--rpc_url https://ethereum-holesky-rpc.publicnode.com

  1. You should get a response like this:

[2024-07-01T19:17:54Z WARN  aligned] Missing keystore used for payment. This proof will not be included if sent to Eth Mainnet
[2024-07-01T19:17:54Z INFO  aligned] Submitting proofs to the Aligned batcher...
[2024-07-01T19:19:18Z INFO  aligned] Batch inclusion data written into ./aligned_verification_data/e367d76e_0.json
[2024-07-01T19:19:18Z INFO  aligned] Proofs submitted to aligned. See the batch in the explorer:
[2024-07-01T19:19:18Z INFO  aligned] https://explorer.alignedlayer.com/batches/0xe367d76e832edec893d3a9027b3c231b2e3994c47acfac2e67197c13c9be0c4c

Use the link in the response to check the status of your transaction in the Aligned explorer.

  1. After three Ethereum blocks, you should be able to check if it has been verified with the CLI using

aligned verify-proof-onchain \
--aligned-verification-data ~/.aligned/aligned_verification_data/*.cbor \
--rpc_url https://ethereum-holesky-rpc.publicnode.com \
--network holesky

This is reading the result of the proof verification in Ethereum.

  1. You should get this result:

[2024-06-17T21:58:43Z INFO  aligned] Your proof was verified in Aligned and included in the batch!

If the proof wasn't verified, you should get this result:

[2024-06-17T21:59:09Z INFO  aligned] Your proof was not included in the batch.

Aligned works in:

  • macOS Arm64 (M1 or higher)

  • Linux x86 with GLIBC_2.32 or superior (For example, Ubuntu 22.04 or higher)

If you don't meet these requirements, you can compile the binaries yourself following the README
