This library is meant to be the official public API into the proofs library.

The main API to interact with the proofs system in Filecoin.

Default build options

The build options enabled by default are cuda and opencl.

Running the tests

Running the tests with the default features can be done like this:

lib.rs:

Proofs library for Filecoin open blockchain network.

This goal of the filecoin-proofs-api crate is to provide the proving and verification mechanisms used within Filecoin, to ensure Storage Providers are properly storing client data, and retaining that data over time. The ‘Proofs’ are used to assert that the work was done properly, and the nodes on the network are able to verify proofs to maintain trust across the distributed storage network. The proving system used by Filecoin is based on Groth16. Specific poofs include Proof-of-Spacetime, and Proof-of-Replication.
