Toolchain installation

Proof Market toolchain is a collection of Python scripts for interacting with Proof Market.

These scripts are required for all participants.

Clone the repository:

git clone --recurse-submodules git@github.com:NilFoundation/proof-market-toolchain.git

Based on the user's role, they must install additional binaries/scripts to interact with the market.

To interact with Proof Market, you must also have Python setup and its dependencies.

We recommend setting up a virtual environment to interact with Proof Market.

pip3 install --user virtualenv
python3 -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Circuit developer​

  • Follow the installation guide for zkLLVM. zkLLVM is used to compile circuits and generate binaries to be hosted on Proof Market.
  • Set up authentication and follow the user guide for zero-knowledge app developers.

Proof requester​

  • Install Lorem Ipsum CLI. For proof validation, smart contracts or zkLLVM for local validation can be used.
  • Set up authentication and follow the user guide for zero-knowledge app developers.

Proof producer​

As a proof producer, you need to compile the proof-generator binary.

Build​

cd proof-market-toolchain && mkdir build && cd build
cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" \
  -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
  -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-12 \
  -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-12 \
  ..
cmake --build . -t proof-generator

Building the toolchain from sources

You can learn more about the toolchain and how to build it via Docker or manually in the project's README.
