Development environment setup

We recommend the following tools:

Run direnv allow at the repo root. You should see dependencies (including Rust) being installed. Alternatively, enter the nix-shell manually via nix develop.

You can check you are in the correct development environment by running which cargo, which should print something like /nix/store/2gb31jhahrm59n3lhpv1lw0wfax9cf9v-rust-minimal-1.69.0/bin/cargo; and running echo $CARGO_HOME should print ~/.cargo-nix.

Build, run tests and examples

Build:

cargo build

Run an example:

cargo run --release --example proof-of-exp --features test-srs

This is a simple example to prove and verify knowledge of exponent. It shows how one may compose a circuit, and then build a proof for the circuit.

WASM target

Jellyfish is no_std compliant and compilable to WASM target environment, just run:

./scripts/build_wasm.sh

Backends

To choose different backends for arithmetics of curve25519-dalek, which is currently used by jf-primitives/aead, set the environment variable:

RUSTFLAGS='--cfg curve25519_dalek_backend="BACKEND"'

See the full list of backend options here.

You could further configure the word size for the backend by setting (see here):

RUSTFLAGS='--cfg curve25519_dalek_bits="SIZE"'

Tests

cargo test --release

Note that by default the release mode does not check integers overflow. In order to enforce this check run:

./scripts/run_tests.sh

Test coverage

We use grcov for test coverage

./scripts/test_coverage.sh

Generate and read the documentation

Standard

cargo doc --open

Code formatting

To format your code run

cargo fmt

Updating non-cargo dependencies

Run nix flake update if you would like to pin other version edit flake.nix beforehand. Commit the lock file when happy.

To update only a single input specify it as argument, for example

nix flake update github:oxalica/rust-overlay

Benchmarks

Primitives

Currently, a benchmark for verifying Merkle paths is implemented. The additional flags allow using assembly implementation of square_in_place and mul_assign within arkworks:

RUSTFLAGS='-Ctarget-cpu=native -Ctarget-feature=+bmi2,+adx' cargo bench --bench=merkle_path

PLONK proof generation/verification

For benchmark, run:

RAYON_NUM_THREADS=N cargo bench

where N is the number of threads you want to use (N = 1 for single-thread).

A sample benchmark result is available under bench.md.

Git Hooks

The pre-commit hooks are installed via the nix shell. To run them on all files use

pre-commit run --all-files
