sp1-solana

This crate verifies Groth16 proofs generated with SP1, leveraging Solana's BN254 precompiles for efficient cryptographic operations.

Caution

This repository is under active development and is not yet ready for production use.

Repository Overview

The sp1-solana library itself is in the verifier directory. example/program contains an example Solana program that uses this library to verify SP1 proofs, and example/script contains an example Solana script that invokes this program.

Features

• Groth16 Proof Verification: Implements the Groth16 protocol for zero-knowledge proof verification.
• Solana BN254 Precompiles: Leverages Solana's native BN254 precompiles for optimized performance.
• Easy Integration: Seamlessly integrates with existing Solana programs and infrastructure.
• Extensible: Built with modularity in mind, allowing for future enhancements and integrations.

Requirements

• Rust
• Edge Solana CLI
  • Install with the following command:

  sh -c "$(curl -sSfL https://release.anza.xyz/edge/install)"

Example usage

The example demonstrates how to use the sp1-solana crate to verify a proof generated by SP1 on Solana. Running the script will perform the following steps:

1. Load an SP1 SP1ProofWithPublicValues from the pre-generated proof fibonacci_proof.bin. This is a SP1 Groth16 proof that proves that the 20th fibonacci number is 6765. Optionally, this proof can be freshly generated from the sp1-program.

2. Extract the proof and public inputs from the SP1ProofWithPublicValues.

• The proof is the Groth16 proof, serialized in SP1's standard format
• The sp1_public_inputs are the public inputs to the underlying sp1 program.

Here is a snippet from the example script that demonstrates this.

/// The instruction data for the program.
#[derive(BorshDeserialize, BorshSerialize)]
pub struct SP1Groth16Proof {
    pub proof: Vec<u8>,
    pub sp1_public_inputs: Vec<u8>,
}

...

// Load the proof from the file, and extract the proof, public inputs, and program vkey hash.
let sp1_proof_with_public_values = SP1ProofWithPublicValues::load(&proof_file).unwrap();

let groth16_proof = SP1Groth16Proof {
    proof: sp1_proof_with_public_values.bytes(),
    sp1_public_inputs: sp1_proof_with_public_values.public_values.to_vec(),
};

// Send the proof to the contract, and verify it on `solana-program-test`.
run_verify_instruction(groth16_proof).await;

3. Using the solana-program-test framework, send the SP1Groth16Proof to the fibonacci-verifier-contract. This smart contract will verify the proof using the sp1-solana crate against the fibonacci SP1 program vkey and print out the public inputs.

Note

In this example, a Groth16 proof and public values are directly passed into the contract as transaction data. In real use cases, this may not be reasonable, since the upper limit for transaction data is 1232 bytes. Groth16 proofs themselves are already 260 bytes, and public inputs can potentially be very large. See this article for a discussion on how to handle this.

Here is a snippet that demonstrates how to perform the verification and read the public inputs on chain.

// Derived by running `vk.bytes32()` on the program's vkey.
const FIBONACCI_VKEY_HASH: &str =
    "0083e8e370d7f0d1c463337f76c9a60b62ad7cc54c89329107c92c1e62097872";

pub fn process_instruction(
    _program_id: &Pubkey,
    _accounts: &[AccountInfo],
    instruction_data: &[u8],
) -> ProgramResult {
    // Deserialize the SP1Groth16Proof from the instruction data.
    let groth16_proof = SP1Groth16Proof::try_from_slice(instruction_data)
        .map_err(|_| ProgramError::InvalidInstructionData)?;

    // Get the SP1 Groth16 verification key from the `sp1-solana` crate.
    let vk = sp1_solana::GROTH16_VK_2_0_0_BYTES;

    // Verify the proof.
    verify_proof(
        &groth16_proof.proof,
        &groth16_proof.sp1_public_inputs,
        &FIBONACCI_VKEY_HASH,
        vk,
    )
    .map_err(|_| ProgramError::InvalidInstructionData)?;

    // Print out the public values.
    let mut reader = groth16_proof.sp1_public_inputs.as_slice();
    let n = u32::deserialize(&mut reader).unwrap();
    let a = u32::deserialize(&mut reader).unwrap();
    let b = u32::deserialize(&mut reader).unwrap();
    msg!("Public values: (n: {}, a: {}, b: {})", n, a, b);

    Ok(())
}

Running the script

To load the pregenerated proof and verify it on solana-program-test, run the following commands.

cd script
RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release

To generate a fresh proof from the program in sp1-program, run the following commands.

cd script
RUST_LOG=info cargo run --release -- --prove

Deploying the Example Solana Program to Devnet

Run the following commands to build and deploy the example solana program to devnet. These commands assume you've already created a Solana keypair locally, and you have the edge solana CLI tools. Request devnet sol as necessary.

cd example/program
cargo build-sbf --sbf-out-dir ./target
solana config set -ud
solana program deploy --program-id target/fibonacci_verifier_contract-keypair.json target/fibonacci_verifier_contract.so

Installation

Add sp1-solana to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
sp1-solana = { git = "https://github.com/succinctlabs/groth16-solana" }
