C-KZG-4844

This is a TypeScript library for EIP-4844 that implements the Polynomial Commitments API. The core functionality was originally a stripped-down copy of C-KZG, but has been heavily modified since then. This package wraps that native c-kzg C code in C/C++ NAPI bindings for use in node.js applications.

Spec: https://github.com/ethereum/consensus-specs/blob/dev/specs/deneb/polynomial-commitments.md

Prerequisites

Installation requires compilation of C code. Target environment must have:

• A compiler like g++ or clang
• make
• python3

Installation

yarn add c-kzg
# or
npm i -S c-kzg

Usage

import {
  BYTES_PER_BLOB,
  Blob,
  Bytes48,
  blobToKzgCommitment,
  computeBlobKzgProof,
  verifyBlobKzgProofBatch,
} from "c-kzg";

const blobs = [] as Blob[];
const commitments = [] as Bytes48[];
const proofs = [] as Bytes48[];

for (let i = 0; i < BATCH_SIZE; i++) {
  blobs.push(Buffer.alloc(BYTES_PER_BLOB, "*"));
  commitments.push(blobToKzgCommitment(blobs[i]));
  proofs.push(computeBlobKzgProof(blobs[i], commitments[i]));
}

const isValid = verifyBlobKzgProofBatch(blobs, commitments, proofs);

API

loadTrustedSetup

/**
 * Initialize the library with a trusted setup file.
 *
 * Can pass either a .txt or a .json file with setup configuration. Converts
 * JSON formatted trusted setup into the native format that the base library
 * requires. The created file will be in the same as the origin file but with a
 * ".txt" extension.
 *
 * Uses user provided location first. If one is not provided then defaults to
 * the official Ethereum mainnet setup from the KZG ceremony. Should only be
 * used for cases where the Ethereum official mainnet KZG setup is acceptable.
 *
 * @param {string | undefined} filePath - .txt/.json file with setup configuration
 * @default - If no string is passed the default trusted setup from the Ethereum KZG ceremony is used
 *
 * @throws {TypeError} - Non-String input
 * @throws {Error} - For all other errors. See error message for more info
